    Establishment of forest nurseries by smallholders in the cold winter deserts of Uzbekistan 2023

    Nursery is an area where plants are raised for eventual planting out. It consists of paths, nursery beds, irrigation channels etc. In nature, tree seeds falling in the ground germinate as seedling under existing soil and climatic conditions. Often the growing conditions are harsh in the cold winter deserts and soils are degraded. The growing seedlings commonly have to compete with other desert plant species. These adverse conditions result in poor survival of the seedlings and sparse tree population in the deserts. Hence, natural growth of seedlings through direct planting of seeding is difficult in the deserts. To address these issues for successful reforestation, forest nurseries are used to raise seedlings by providing optimum management conditions to raise vigorous seedlings during their critical early growth stage.

    Cultivation of unknow variety of wheat from the grain market is one of the major reasons of low productivity of wheat in the smallholders’ fields. Usually, the variety grown by the smallholders is a mixture of grains of different varieties. The seed value of such a mixed variety is considered poor as grains had not been produced the requirements of good quality seed. The mixed nature of such a variety becomes obvious when plants matured. . There are a number of wheat varieties developed by this research institute which fits well with the region. These include Shams, Gozgon, Turkistan, Yaksart, Gallakor, and Hishorak. Good quality seed of these varieties are available from the institute.
