Nursery Management
A nursery can be as small as a farmer’s seedbed for the immediate planting of a single crop or as large as a complex business with hundreds of species and varieties for sale to the public. Small-scale nurseries supply trees and other perennial plants for community use. Effective nurseries are tailored to meet specific needs of the communities they serve. Food security, for example, could be addressed by producing fruit trees. Nurseries can also meet needs for greater crop diversity, erosion control, livestock fodder and forage, fuelwood, income generation, nutrition, reforestation, decorative landscaping, and timber. ECHO’s resources and training focus on participatory approaches to establishing nurseries that fit the local context and maximize community assets. Topics include site selection, propagation material, options for growing media, and irrigation. More advanced subjects in nursery development, such as grafting, can be covered on an as-needed basis.
