The effects of stem injections of gibberellin A4/7 (GA4/7) were studied in two experiments conducted in two different field-grown seed orchards of Pinus sylvestris L. Both experiments were carried out during years with favourable conditions for floral induction, i.e., higher temperatures and less precipitation than average years. In experiment 1, cone production and the number of filled seeds per graft increased significantly, the latter by about 60% compared with the control. Filled seeds per graft increased in experiment 2 as well, although the increase was not statistically significant. In both experiments, GA4/7 treatment significantly reduced the 1000-seed weight but did not significantly affect the number of filled and empty seeds per cone. In both experiments, grafts stimulated to increase seed production tended to produce smaller cones. In experiment 2, pollen production was significantly increased after stem injections of GA4/7. The increase above the control was about 90%. There was a tendency for stem injections of GA4/7, which were intended to increase seed production, to reduce pollen production. Clonal effects were significant for all variables tested in the study. No damage to the treated grafts were observed that could be attributed to the treatment. The use of stem injections of GA4/7 as an operational means in seed orchards of P. sylvestris is therefore recommended.
