Define los requisitos para el registro y operación de viveros forestales, incluyendo la obligatoriedad de inscripción ante la Oficina Nacional de Semillas (ONS). Regula las categorías de viveros según su capacidad de producción: pequeños (hasta 5000 plántulas anuales), medianos (5001 a 20000 plántulas) y grandes (más de 20000 plántulas). Establece estándares técnicos para la calidad del material, trazabilidad, etiquetado y sanidad vegetal. Además, crea el Registro Nacional de Viveros Forestales y define el procedimiento para obtener el certificado de inscripción, con vigencia de dos años renovables. Promueve la utilización de especies nativas y exige que el material proceda de fuentes semilleras autorizadas, contribuyendo a la conservación de los recursos genéticos forestales del país.",

It defines the requirements for the registration and operation of forest nurseries, including mandatory registration with the National Seed Office (ONS). It regulates nursery categories based on production capacity: small (up to 5,000 seedlings per year), medium (5,001 to 20,000 seedlings), and large (more than 20,000 seedlings). It sets technical standards for material quality, traceability, labeling, and plant health. Additionally, it creates the National Registry of Forest Nurseries and defines the procedure to obtain a registration certificate, valid for two years and renewable. It promotes the use of native species and requires that material come from authorized seed sources, contributing to the conservation of the country's forest genetic resources.",
