As the current topic seems to be germinating smoke-treated seeds,
I have something to add. The Botanical Society of South Africa
has recently put a product on the market called "Instant Smoke
Plus" which consists of a sheet of absorbent paper which has been
impregnated with a solution of smoke in water and then dried.
All you have to do is pour a measured quantity of water over the
smoke-impregnated paper to resuspend the smoke solution and water
the seeds with it. Simplicity itself! Further details can be
got directly from the Society by writing to:
