Germplasm Supply, Propagation and Nursery Management of Miombo Fruit Trees - Indigenous Fruit Trees in the Tropics: Domestication, Utilization and Commercialization - page 364

(Tchoundjeu et al. , Chapter 9, this volume), where external intervention in the
form of funds and other material inputs may not be crucial determinants of
domestication, technical support on appropriate and low-cost tree propagation
methods, awareness information and extension material is considered critical in
the scaling up of indigenous fruit trees in southern Africa.
