Abstract

A method for growing a conifer seedling includes selecting and treating a conifer seed, prior to planting thereof, with a Coryneform, Pseudomonas or Serratia bacterial strain that enhances the root growth of that conifer seedling. Additionally, transplanted conifer seedlings may be grown by treating their roots with root growth-enhancing Coryneform, Pseudomonas and Serratia strains and conifer seeds may be modified by treatment with those strains.
