Summary description of agroecological practice

Propagation of fruit trees from cuttings

Type of agroecological practice

Accelerated tree seedling production. Unlike Seedlings planted from seed, this system ensures faster growth and from experience fruiting occurs faster.

Implementing the practice

Depending on the tree type, we cut a branch (not more than a foot) and place it in a basin with soil. We add water and then cover with a clear heavy gauge polythene paper. The rest are details
