Handbook on Tree Seed Production and Propagation Techniques in Laos
This handbook is developed to meet the need for standardized technical and scientific knowledge on afforestation and economic tree planting in Lao PDR. The content summarizes scientific knowledge and practical experience on establishing tree seed banks, managing tree seeds, and propagation techniques for 178 tree and economic tree species. It is an indispensable tool for scientists, nursery operators and farmers to contribute to the goal of increasing the forest area to 70% and making it a reality.
