Learning from old practices and local farmers to improve and assure rootstock quality of Nagpur mandarin saplings: Performance of Nagpur mandarin buds on Rangpur lime (C. limonia) and Rough lemon (C. jambhiri) rootstock

The ‘Conservation and Sustainable Use of Cultivated and Wild Tropical Fruit Diversity: Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods, Food Security and Ecosystem Services’ project identified the efforts and role of these innovative nurserymen as a good practice of diversity management that is selected for further strengthening and scaling up within the community and elsewhere.
