Native Species Reforestation Acceleration Through Cutting Propagation in Madagascar

This research partnership aims to fast-track reforestation by propagating native tree species through cutting methods. The study focuses on producing cost-effective planting materials to restore degraded forest landscapes, with a specific focus on maintaining chemotypes in clonal trees to meet market demands for essential oil composition. Stem cuttings from various native species are harvested from natural forests and propagated using a simple technique that can be easily adopted by local populations. The main results include successful propagation of Ravensara aromatica and other native species, contributing to biodiversity conservation efforts in Madagascar.

  2. Objectiveof the study • To produce a numerous and low cost planting material stocks in aim to restore the degraded forest landscape Specific objective for Ravensara aromatica : • To ensure that chemotypes identified through chemical analyses of essential oil will be maintained in clonal trees. • To respect the market request of homogeneity of essential oil composition to win added value.

  3. Material and method • 200 stem cuttings, 2 trees for every 5 chemical patterns of Ravensara aromatica ; harvested in 4 natural forests (Ampasina, Didy, Anosibe an’Ala, Raboana) • Avalaible number of cuttings from other available native species trees met in forest. • Simple technic easily transfered to local population (leafy stem cutting 7-10 cm length,7-10 mm diameter, hormone AIB 1%(optional), raised in plastic bag on mixture 2/3 compos-1/3 river sand, raised on chassis, daily morning watered)
