Good tree nursery practices: practical guidelines for community nurseries

Export citation

The booklet focuses on quality nursery practices while offering very useful guidelines for managers of community and project nurseries. It pays attention to details about seed source, physical characteristics of seedlings, proper substrates and regulation of water, light and nutrients. The manul includes not only what to do, but also why do it - this encourages the manager to look for understanding and not simply accept recipes.
