Cocoa planting techniques

Abstract

Over recent years it has become common practice to use plastic bags for the germination of seedlings in the nursery. In the Gazelle Peninsula the plastic bags give the added advantage of protection from the Giant Snail. Germination in the bag, however, causes a distortion of the roots which may be a severe disadvantage. A study of the use of plastic bags in cocoa nurseries was made by John Kouta
Konimor, a final year student at Vudal Agricultural College.
