On seed harvesting in 2016

In accordance with the Federal Law “On Seed Breeding” the institutions of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic carried out a common policy to ensure the forestry with seeds with high sowing qualities. In winter, the seed material (cones) of softwood is collected. Currently, more than 25 tons of cones have been harvested. In cone-driers the seeds are extracted from the cones, de-winged, cleaned from impurities and dried to the desired moisture content. More than 100 kg of softwood seeds have been processed.
