1. Mbora, A.; Lillesø, J-P. B.; Jamnadas, R. 2008. 

Good nursery practices: a simple guide. Nairobi, Kenya: World Agroforestry Centre, 36p. 

In this guide, all nursery practices are explained in simple way with elaborate illustrations to make it 

easy for farmers to understand and use effectively. The book also covers vegetative propagation and 

field planting-out which are not covered in other nursery management books. 

Farmers will thus increase seedlings production and improve the quality of seedlings and the tree end products.
