Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid establishment of seedlings in forest regeneration or afforestation sites after planting is a prerequisite for a successful reforestation. Seedling survival after outplanting can be improved by using high-quality seedling material. Seedling quality consists of several features, such as genetic source, morphological properties, nutritional status, stress resistance, and vitality of the seedlings. Field performance of the seedlings is a complex process which can be affected by many nursery and silvicultural practices. Nursery cultural practices strongly affect seedling quality, which is generally at its highest level during the growth period at the nursery. Afterwards, when the seedlings are transported from the nursery to the planting site (including seedling storage, handling, shipping, and planting practices), the quality of seedlings can only remain the same or decline. To ensure successful regeneration, it is important to produce seedlings that retain their high quality until planting, and to establish them quickly in the forest regeneration site.

This book was released on 2023-09-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest plantations are among the tangible solutions to meet the world's needs for timber and wood products (e.g., timber, firewood, pulp, and paper) and other ecosystem services that are constantly increasing and compensate for the loss of millions of hectares of forests caused by the increase in the severity and frequency of fires, insect attacks, and environmental stresses in humid, arid, and semiarid zones. Faced with these major constraints and challenges in the context of climate change, it is not enough to plant millions of seedlings, but we must ensure the genetic selection of seeds adapted to current and future climates, the morphophysiological quality of seedlings, the quality of sites, and the optimization of cultural as well as sylvicultural practices (e.g., from seeds to sustainable plantations) to achieve the objectives of various programs (reforestation and wood production; restoration of damaged, degraded, or destroyed ecosystems; desert greening; and agroforestry) in terms of survival, growth, and yield. This Special Issue deals with different facets and topics of the seedling production chain in different countries and continents, from growing media to planting performance related to reforestation, restoration, and agroforestry programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vegetable Seedling Production Manual is a technical paper in the series of the FAO Horticultural Crops Group, Crop and Grassland Service, Plant Production and Protection Division. The document was prepared to emphasize the importance of high-quality and true-to-type seedling as a component of integrated production and pest management (IPPM) for increased crop productivity. The text reviews the current technologies for the production of healthy and vigorous transplants including the use of available local materials and substrates. The manual aim at disseminating vegetable seedlings production technology as a means of improving cost-effectiveness in vegetable nursery management and promoting the use of improved vegetable cultivars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper highlights some key aspects of forest nursery stock production that are essential for the success of tree seedling production and reforestation. It first describes the steps of nursery stock production and the factors that either contribute or impede production of vigorous tree seedlings. These steps include soil preparation, seed germination, seedling growth, seedling shipping & planting, and review & planning of nursery operations. The paper then reviews research on the relationship between field performance and nursery practices.

Book excerpt: The Dunumann method of seedling production uses forest treelitter as a growing medium instead of mineral soil. Trials todetermine the value of this procedure as an alternative toconventional nursery or greenhouse production were conducted atthe Midhurst Research Station with red pine, white pine, whiteand Norway spruce. It is suggested that, in situations whereseedling production targets are low, the Dunemann option could beconsidered as an alternative to field or greenhouse seedlingproduction.
