Free Jatropha seedling distribution in Mpanda District
(March 2010)
The PROKON nurseries in all cultivation areas over the District have been sucessfully established. From end of 2009 till February 2010 the seedlings grew up in our nursery seedbeds, now they are transplanted to the farmers fields. PROKON Extension Officers take care of the nurseries and organize the free seedling distribution to the new Jatropha farmers. Every interested farmer who gets seedlings signs a contract with PROKON and recieves Extension Services and advise on all questions related to Jatropha farming. Frequent farm visits guarantee a succesfull field establishment and developement of the Jatropha seedlings.
After transplanting the young Jatropha trees need intensive care mainly in the first years. Weeding, fertilization, pest control and reshaping have to be done to raise grand trees out of the small seedlings.
