Rooting Cuttings of Tropical Trees
This manual describes techniques that offer two important advantages over relying only upon planting seedlings. First,vegetative propagation allows new trees to be raised at any time, so that seed problems need not affect the choice of suitable planting stock. Second, as has been the case with several common farm crops, vegetative propagation can speed up domestication to allow urgently needed tree planting to be carried out with mixtures of superior selections.
