Part I of this paper describes culture methods for the production of large numbers of bracken sporelings of uniform size. Observations on the growth of the bracken plant and results of experiments on the mineral nutrition of the prothallial and sporophyte generations are presented. The presentation of further growth data and a full analysis of the results is deferred to the second part of this paper.
