Clonal Nursery

Based on DENR Memorandum Circular No. 2011-01 Section 8.7, the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) shall be responsible for overseeing the production and procurement of seedlings and quality planting materials requirements of the National Greening Program (NGP)including the establishment of clonal facilities and network of nurseries.

One of the activities being conducted under the [Enhanced] National Greening Program and ERDB is the maintenance and operationalization of clonal nurseries and forest tree seed centers. During the plantation establishment, the following activities are being conducted:

  • Survey, Mapping and Planning (SMP) – characterization of the NGP planting site to formulate strategies on the successfull establishment of the plantation. SMP also includes soil characterization of planting sites which provides information on soil chemical and physical properties as well as the availability of nutrients in the soil and helps determine soil amelioration strategies.
  • Identification of Priority and Suitable Species – Tree species to be planted in the NGP site are identified based on the data gathered during SMP.
  • Production of Quality Planting Materials (QPM) – QPM are being selected through its superior phenotypic characteristics such as good root system and vigorous growth performance, provides information on soil chemical and physical properties as well as the availability of nutrients in the soil, and helps determine soil amelioration strategies. QPMs are needed to ensure the success of reforestation project and plantation establishment.
  • Maintenance and Protection of Plantations (M&P) – M&P is conducted to ensure survival and optimal growth rate of the planting materials within the NGP plantation. M&P includes foot patrolling and monitoring of the site, establishment of firebreaks, brushing/weeding, mulching (a process of covering the soil with organic material in order to preserve moisture and improve the condition of the soil) and replanting of lost QPMs.

Bio-Fertilizers

As part of the maintenance and operationalization of clonal nurseries and forest tree seed centers, the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) is using Mycorrhiza or Hi-Q VAM 1 as a fertilizer in NGP’s quality planting materials (QPM).

Mycorrhiza is a type of fungi that thrives in the roots of plants which allows it to survive in the mosy hostile soil condition. These fungi increases nutrient uptake of the plants, and even help prevent other harmful fungi and bacteria from infecting the plant. The trade name for this mycorrhizal technology is “Hi-Q VAM 1.” Application of Hi-Q VAM 1 is best done at nursery stage at 1.5 to 2 months, when the secondary roots of seedlings in the seedbed have emerged.

GIS Mapping & Geotagging

The [Enhanced] National Greening Program is using Geographic Information System (GIS) and
geotagging applications in mapping to support baselining/benchmarking activity for the NGP sites. These
will produce maps or location, images, and general spatial information needed in the characterization of
biological, physical and socioeconomic conditions of an NGP site where the planting activity will take
place.
