The propagation of Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del.: Strategies
Under certain conditions, multipurpose species such as Balanites aegyptiaca have shown dramatic decreases in population numbers in Niger. We then tested seed germination success, and suckering induction, air layering and stem cuttings to determine the techniques best suited for the propagation of B. aegyptiaca. Based on the results, the stem segment cuttings seem to be the best adaptable alternative to the natural propagation of B. aegyptiaca.
