Session 3.1: Nursery production Moses Munjuga 23rd to 27th October 2006

Presentation structure What is a quality seedling? Type of nurseries Good nursery practices (factors to achieve quality seedlings) Seedling production in individual country Introduction to seedlings production practical

Quality seedlings Good seedling quality is the basis for tree planting success Seedlings adapted to the planting site condition Bushy site – vigorous shoot Dry site – good root system Seedlings which start growing quickly after transplanting should have: Strong rooting system Adequate inoculation

Tree nurseries categories Nurseries are differentiated by their function and size. Individual or private Community or group Central Commercial Training

Factors affecting seedling quality Careful seedling handling -pricking out -root pruning -transport Containers -plastic bags -local materials Optimal substrate -porosity -waterholding capacity -fertility Appropriate nursery environment watering Weeding regularly Appropriate shading Hygiene Record keeping

Seedling handling Seeds are sown in seedbeds but sometimes directly into container Carefully transplanting or pricking out Root pruning is necessary Ensure careful handling when transporting to field Change the containers if it takes longer time

Containers Plastic or polythene bags Containers made from local materials Biodegradable containers should be used

Substrate Substrate gives the seedling stability and nourishment, therefore necessary for good seedling development Good waterholding capacity Porosity (root development) Fertility (monitor for deficiency)

Nursery and plant hygiene Refers to pest (rodents, insects, birds, etc.) and diseases (fungi, bacteria etc) Always use new prepared substrate (Cleanliness) Substrate change Use pesticides or fungicides in case of attack

Nursery environments Root prune seedlings and sometimes shoot prune Water seedlings regularly Put shade over seedlings Weeding Protect seedlings from animals (fence) Keep record of all nursery activities

Seedlings production Cameroon – vegetative propagation and on-station seed research Ghana – Large scale production, community and central nurseries production. Vegetative approach is being developed Tanzania- Central and community nurseries production

After nursery…. Seedlings from central nursery were planted in genebank in Ghana and Tanzania (two genebank) Seedlings from community nurseries were planted in on-farm (about 5000 seedlings, in 2006)

Introduction to seedlings production practical Mixing substrate Potting Pricking out Root pruning
