Abstract

Tree planting initiatives and activities have been conducting at different periods of time in Ethiopia specifically in Oromia aiming to curb the effect of climate change and deforestation. Following production of large number of seedling each year; plantation campaign has conducted in large scale. The study was designed to assess the seedling production and its survival inEast Shewa zone of Oromia region. From East ShewaAdami Tulu JidoKombolcha and Dugda Districts were selected as both are one of the districts conducting high plantation campaign every year. Household survey interview (n=132, 66 for each districts) were the methods used to obtain the primary data. As a result, even though there is a massproduction of seedlingandlarge scale plantation, there is insignificant number of survival of planted seedlings on the field according to the data from survey result. Most of the respondent noted that the major biotic factors for seedling survival were animal intervention (62.12%) followed by mallrat (22.73%) and Insects and pests/ including termites (11.67%) were the major biotic factor affecting seedling survival on the field at ATJK district. However its impact was lesser compared to ATJK district the same biotic factors were affecting seedling growth at Dugda district (table 2). The other factors responsible for less seedling survival un accessible water sources and lack of overall management are the common factors that has gotten significance value at p (α=0.05) at both districts. Therefore, it is importantto take the revert action to save the undermined huge investment cost to the success of plantation. Post plantation management and budget allocation for transplanted plants also crucial for plantation success.
