Data collected from this and previous Since most lots in storage are dehydrated suggest that prehydrating Douglas fir tests to less than 10% MC, prehydration usually pollen before in vivo testing is essential improves the viability response. This is and that current procedures (100% RH/16 6 particularly true for germination and con- h/20°C) are still acceptable.
