A013 Vegetative Tree Propagation in Agroforestry

Training guidelines and references

edited by Hannah Jaenicke and Jan Beniest. ICRAF (EXT020)

This publication from ICRAF is a collection of training materials that has been developed in support of a one-week practical training course. The nursery target audience consists of field technicians and managers who are active in tree propagation research or development. The publication is available for download from ICRAF and appears to be useful model for designing training at this level. It should make a useful reference for developing extension material for farmers.
