ICRAF - International Center for Research in Agro-forestry databases

To date, more than 500 species have been included. The specific aims of the database are to: 1) enable quick and efficient access to a consolidated pool of information on tree species that can assume useful production or service functions, or both; 2)provide a tool that will assist with the selection of species for use in agroforestry and related research using factors that are relevant to the chosen agroforestry technologies; 3) help researchers assess potential agroforestry trees for uses other than those commonly known, such as timber; 4) provide indicators for the economic assessment of species through yield information on tree products.

This project is funded by DFID (the British Department for International Development) and EU(European Union) Database can be searched by Botanic and Common names. Also available is a Tree Seed Suppliers Directory.
