This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude required to produce certified tree seed, improved tree, and bamboo production. It focuses on planning tree seed production flow, establishing tree seed stand, applying for tree seed certification, perform tree species and progeny trials, selection of genetic materials, perform crossbreeding, perform genetic testing and evaluation, and bamboo production. This will be achieved through field practices in collecting tree seeds using appropriate tools, monitoring the management practices of tree seeds stands, effective tree seed handling, carrying out different tests on tree seeds to ensure viability, tests from improved greenhouses, testing of different tree species, tissues culture for different species, and
carrying out tree improvement for different tree species, bamboo production with both sexual and asexual propagation.
