Need for propagation & cultivation
• Parts of the plants harvested: roots, leaves, seeds, fruits, bark
• Constraints to the natural regeneration as well as vigorous stands development
• Propagation and silvicultural techniques also unknown
![Page 4: Principles of Propagation and Cultivation of Pesticidal Plants](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012515/618f63d3660b103f1b602969/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
For what?
Right tree
• Different species
• Varieties
• Species mixtures
Right people • Fit in livelihood strategy
• Tree planting habit
• Group membership
• Comparative advantage
Right place
• Climatic requirements
• Ecological suitability
• Market access
• Comparative advantage
• Landscape role
• Farm niche

Germplasm collection
Why germplasm collection?
• Raising seedling/other propagules for distribution to farmers
• Tree management research (e.g. on how to germinate seed or vegetatively propagate trees).
• Genetic improvement programmes (e.g. for the establishment of provenance field trials from which superior material can be selected through exploiting intraspecific variation in a species).

Germplasm collection
• Ex situ conservation (e.g. establishment of field gene banks for long-term management of genetic resources).

Plus tree selection
• Selected planting material should be capable of consistently producing good quantities of high quality product (active ingredient in the case on pesticidal plants).

Propagation
laboratory Nursery
A laboratory is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific research, experiments and measurements are performed.
A Nursery is a facility where plants are raised with special care until they are ready or large enough for transplanting into the field.
It also serves as a centre to train and transfer knowledge to people who are interested in raising seedlings

Types of nurseries
• Permanent: Produces large quantities of seedlings for many years. • Temporary nursery:
Temporary Nursery is established for a short period, mostly less than five years to meet a specific but temporary local needs.
• Extension nursery
Extension Nursery is established to produce seedlings of many species useful to the local community for amenity, firewood fodder post and poles.

Nursery site
• Easily accessible
• Permanent water supply
• Easy drainage
• Nurseries should not be sited on sloppy or flat grounds e.g. hill tops or valley bottoms. Gentle slopes should be selected (slopes of 2° – 4° must be selected).
