Abstract:

The present paper describes a new technique for growing the grey mangrove Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh., in nurseries developed near the high tide mark of the coastal belts. It consists in making long narrow furrows with slanting walls with a ‘V’ shaped cross section. The propagules were sowed on the slanting sides to avoid submergence and exposure for longer periods. The results showed 98% survival rate of both propagules and seedlings.
