Decision-support tools
Whether it’s finding out which agroforestry species are appropriate to grow where, locating a seed supplier, learning about how to maintain quality seeds and seedlings or assessing genetic variation using molecular markers, the World Agroforestry Centre’s databases and toolkits that were developed by ICRAF’s Global Research Project 1 make a wealth of practical information accessible online.
- The Agroforestree Database provides information on the management, use and ecology of a wide range of tree species which can be used in agroforestry.
- The Useful Tree Species for Africa tool enables you to select useful tree species for planting anywhere in Africa using Google Earth.
- The Tree Seed Suppliers Directory lists suppliers of seed and microsymbiont for over 5939 tree species.
- The Botanical Nomenclature Database provides information on the correct taxonomy of trees, including synonyms and common names
- The Slide Database allows you to search our collection of agroforestry images
- The Tree Seeds for Farmers - a toolkit and reference source for the delivery of quality seeds and seedlings to farmers
- The Tree Diversity Analysis - software and a manual for the analysis of tree diversity and tree distribution patterns
- The Molecular Markers for Tropical Trees - manuals for the statistical analysis of dominant data
