Improving seed emergence and survival is one of the largest potential benefits for native boreal seed enhancement. Seed pelleting can increase seed size by multiple orders of magnitude, resulting in improved ease of direct seeding and the likelihood of seeds landing in protected microsites. Seed pelleting has the potential for enhancing boreal reclamation, however, the materials, tools and techniques for pelleting native boreal seeds of different sizes and shapes are not well documented. This technical note outlines the procedure tested by the Centre for Boreal Research and collaborators, and provides recommendations for seed pelleting in boreal reclamation.
