KFRI has nurseries at Peechi, Nilambur, and Velupadam, which are well-equipped for seedling production of over 80 plant species, the majority of which are indigenous tree species. In addition to providing research facilities to scientists, the nurseries cater to the needs of the public by producing and supplying quality seedlings of several trees, bamboo, and rattan species on payment. These nurseries are useful demonstration sites for training programmes in tropical silviculture.
KFRI offers mass production and sale of Pandanus, crops, medicinal and ornamental plants, and in-demand forestry species using tissue culture techniques. Tissue Culture Plantlets are sold in TC Bottles, Ex Agar, Egg trays, and Potted forms.
