Opis

This book highlights techniques essential in tree seed handling, nursery establishment and tree management. Limited knowledge among stakeholders in the forestry sector of the above mentioned techniques has led to low availability of high quality tree planting material (seed and seedlings). This has led to little success registered in tree planting initiatives. Furthermore,lack of application of proper tree management techniques in the field has resulted into poor tree crop yields. This book provides knowledge and skills to equip Forestry students on tree seed handling, nursery establishment and tree management techniques as future managers and supervises of tree plant initiatives. This will enable them to impart this knowledge and skills to various stakeholders in the Forestry Sector such as Tree farmers, Nursery operators, Tree seed dealers, Schools, Churches and other interested parties for successful tree planting initiatives.
