N2 - Using native seed and other plant propagules is a common and significant practice to produce nursery-grown tubestock for use in restoration (Corr 2003). This chapter focuses on the effective use of seed and other plant propagules and includes guidance on practical propagation approaches for the production of plants, the use of seeds in a horticultural setting, general seed sowing techniques and the horticultural maintenance of seedlings and young plants as they transition to restoration ready tubestock. For large-scale restoration, seed is by far the major raw material used in restoration due to the relatively low costs and quick results of direct seeding in comparison to other methods like the planting of tubestock (Ede et al. 2018). However, seeds can be expensive to purchase and may also be limited in availability for many species (Merritt & Dixon 2011; Palma & Laurance 2015) so in some circumstances, seeds may be better used for the production of nursery tubestock rather than in direct seeding. The following sections outline various approaches and requirements to support the efficient production of plants under horticultural conditions for use in restoration programs across Australia
