| Abstract | The main objective of this study was monitoring and propagation of two forest trees species: Baccaurea sylvestris Lour. and Scaphium lychnophorin Pierre for conservation. The study established plot 20 ha to monitor and recorded status of mother trees as well as drawing distribution map by using GIS sofware. The study also propagated B. sylvestris species by seed and S. lychnophorum tree species by grafting. Propagation B. sylvestris species by seed was to assess the viability and seed quality by using the cut testing method as well as germination for three different preplanting treatments were used such as: 1) Control, 2) Soak hot water 70°C and left until water become normal for 24 hours, 3) Soak normal water for 24 hours. Propagation S. lychnophorum tree species by grafting was to assess the viability, emerged buds and emergent time of grafted plants for three methods: 1) Chip-budding, 2) Patch budding, 3) Side grafting. Data analysis tools were used SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) and excel database. The results show that the rate of viability seed was 100% after two weeks of storage. The germination time was not significant differences but the rate of germinated seeds was significant differences for each treatment method. Percent of germinated seeds by using soak hot water 70°C treatment method was highest. The rate of viability buds of was not significant differences but the emergent percentage and emergent time were significant differences for each grafting method. Emergent percentage by using chipbudding method was highest and emergent time of side grafting was shortest. The study also involved the interviews, group discussions and meetings with local people about traditional harvesting methods, reasons and affects of current harvesting methods to the distribution and availability of these two species as well as interests of local people, the study found possible solution for sustainable harvesting of these two species, which was secure ownership and participation of local people in cultivation of two species in their allocated forest land |
