About the Book: Technological Advances in Raising of Quality Planting Material
of Tree Species in Temperate Regions
Raising of Quality planting material is important primary input for productive
forestry and for any afforestation program. Mitigation of climate change and
carbon credit schemes have increased the scope of this subject. Large quantities
of seed are needed every year to raise the nursery stock for propagating the
desired plant species. A plentiful supply of quality seed i.e., high in
viability and vigour, is therefore one of the prerequisites to make such
activities successful. Nursery raising of both conifers and broadleaved becomes
important for sustaining life in temperate Himalayan region
