Production of Hopea odorata roxb. planting stock as slow growing seedlings

Tsan F.Y., . and Ahmad Fauzi M.S., . and Wan Rasidah K., . (2003) Production of Hopea odorata roxb. planting stock as slow growing seedlings. [Proceedings Paper]

H. odorata is an erratic seed bearer where flowering and fruiting are uncertain. In addition this species produces recalcitrant seeds. Hence production and maintaining the planting stock of this timber are difficult. This study found that H. odorata seeds could be cold stored at 162 degree celcius for one month with a survival rate of 93. Cold storage of these seeds for two months and longer period decreased the viability rate to below 70. The planting stock of this species however could be potted as slow growing seedlings under 20RLI in a shade house for a period of up to one year. Compost derived from fresh mesocarp was suitable as a potting media for the storage of H. odorata seedlings.

Abstract

H. odorata is an erratic seed bearer where flowering and fruiting are uncertain. In addition this species produces recalcitrant seeds.

This study found that H. odorata seeds could be cold stored at 162 degree celcius for one month with a survival rate of 93. Cold storage of these seeds for two months and longer period decreased the viability rate to below 70. The planting stock of this species however could be potted as slow growing seedlings under 20RLI in a shade house for a period of up to one year. Compost derived from fresh mesocarp was suitable as a potting media for the storage of H. odorata seedlings.
