Objective
Develop seedling production techniques of native tree species including vegetative propagation techniques and useful techniques for the practical use of the microorganisms to stimulate the growth of the seedlings in nursery. Furthermore, establish and create foundation for native species seedling production, which will include seed orchard of native tree species. The techniques for seedling production of native tree species will be transferred to farmers through several training classes.
