Abstract

During the internship at the Chizavane Nursery, the main focus was on the production and multiplication of cashew seedlings. The overall objective was to develop skills and expertise in this specific field of agriculture. Located in Chizavane, the nursery is part of the District Service of Economic Activities (SDAE), responsible for promoting proper land use and encouraging food production. The activities carried out ranged from substrate preparation to seedling marketing, including selection and preparation of scions for grafting, plant management, pest and disease control, and allocation of seedlings for grafting. Practical experience was complemented by theoretical knowledge of the stages involved in cashew seedling production. The report highlights the main activities carried out at the nursery, describing production techniques and operational procedures. Additionally, it emphasizes the key experiences gained during the internship, both practical and theoretical. Areas for improvement were identified to facilitate the assimilation of knowledge by future interns, including program structuring, individualized monitoring, and provision of complementary educational materials. These recommendations aim to ensure a more enriching and productive experience for future interns at the Chizavane Nursery.
