Contribution to the Promotion of qualitative and quantitative production of agro forestry trees plants by the private nurseries.

The study was carried out with the overall objective to promote a qualitative and quantitative production of agro forestry trees plants by the private nurseries. The species targeted were: Dacryodes edulis, Persea americana, Mangifera indica, Prunus africana, Cola nitida, Irvingia gabonensis and Ricinodendron heudelotii. Twenty nurseries were selected in the humid forest zone and in the Western highlands (West and Northwest) of Cameroon. The perceptions of seventeen customers were evaluated regarding the quality of plants produced in these nurseries. Biophysical pa
rameters (height, diameter, number of leaves and branches, plant health ...) were measured for 315 and 205 plants selected randomly from nurseries and farmer fields respectively.
