Abstract

Forestry plant nurseries are one of the efforts to support land rehabilitation activities that have been launched by the Government. Nursery activities not only contribute to environmental sustainability but are expected to provide many benefits both economically, environmentally, and socially. The seeds produced are expected to be used to rehabilitate and plant critical land, vacant land, and unproductive land. MPTS types of plants are currently widely used as plants for rehabilitation activities because they have financial advantages, namely high economic value, and are liked by the community. The service method used is counseling, training, and mentoring. Counseling and training include good MPTS plant nursery techniques so they can produce quality seeds, nurseries using quality/certified and selected seeds, using good planting media that can support nutrient availability for seedling growth and how to do top grafting on seedlings MPTS plants to obtain good and quality seeds.
