Analysis of basic nursery practice in the production of seedlings of natives species

Abstract

To accomplish reforestation programs an increasing demand for native species seedling is expected in the near future. This will require a better understanding of nursery cultivation practices to improve seedling quality. A number of important cultivation practices and the way in wich they affect indicators of seedling quality is reviewed. A list of potential harmful agents to seedling production is presented.
