Silviculture¿s Practices Nursery Protocols of Germination

Mahogany ¿ Swietenia Macrophylla as a Exotic Species in Solomon Islands

Beschreibung

In view of the critical situation of the logging industry ongoing in the Solomon Islands for decades it is imperative to train future professionals in the forestry field with sound theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in all the fields related to Silvicultural theories and practicals in relations to sustainable forest management. An area that has been underestimated and poorly implemented is the mass propagation of native and exotic commercial trees for reforestation in a nursery. This proposal intends to fill this gap being the main objective training and secondly it has a commercial purpose to supply the needs of farmers in Guadalcanal province and whole Solomon Islands with quality seedlings. The area for its location is already fixed and some works were previously done borrowing tools from other departments and utilizing recycled materials. We faced additional problems on the supply of seeds, organic soil and sand, lack of infrastructure for regular watering including vandalism. The forestry department still aims to set up a Small Scale Model Nursery at SNRAS that will be operative throughout the year, following a calendar of activities and under constant supervision.
