In its first year, the Eco-Garden trained 100 farmers in organic farming techniques, supplied over 1000 farmers with indigenous tree seedlings, and began educational efforts in schools.
In addition there are indigenous words for 'rice seedling' and 'transplant rice seedlings' in the Tsouic languages (Tsuchida 1976 157), Bunun and Kavalan, although no proto-Austronesian term can be reconstructed.
For example, Ledgard et al. ([2008]) found that seedlings of indigenous species germinated from broadcast seeding in direct-seeding trials where soil had been disturbed.
Rather, these indigenous people carry machetes and seedlings.
Seedlings of Vangueria infausta, an indigenous Kalahari tree, were used as plant symbionts in a pot experiment designed to measure the effect of three local vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungal communities on mineral acquisition and concentrations in host shoots.
With the exception of the two sites lacking seedlings, if diverse recruitment of indigenous species continues to occur, hybrid ecosystems could be retained in preference to novel ones, and have the potential to become more similar to a natural or historical ecosystem with time.
Pre-inoculation of seedlings with commercial, typically non-indigenous, AMF inoculants is common practice in horticultural and land reclamation industries.
Even simple measures, such as the relative performance of broadcast seed and planted seedlings, or the level of natural recruitment of indigenous species, are rarely recorded.
The total numbers of nodulated seedling were converted into most probable number of indigenous rhizobia nodulating common bean g−1 of soil.
