Abstract
A simple method of determining the germination of pine pollen is described. It consists of Ousting the pollen to be tested on a slide which is placed over water in a petri dish, which is kept at about 25°C for 72 hr. The use of cotton blue stain applied 'at the time of examination assists counting the germinated grains, especially when they are viewed in reflected light.Keywords
