    Alternative Strategy: Elders Forestry has piloted a system of taking harvest residues deposited at harvest landings after in field chip operations and mulching and re-distributing them across the site to provide a mulched layer which returns nutrients in harvest residues back to the site. This will dramatically reduce the fertiliser requirements for 2R plantations which currently require large inputs of chemical fertiliser to remain productive.

    Alternative Strategy: This guide is designed to provide information for landowners, managers and loggers on the relationship between the risk of introduction of oak wilt (caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum) and the timing of any activities that may wound oaks or leave oak stumps. This guide also provides information on the relationship between various site and stand factors and the expected level of disease impact

    Alternative Strategy: Chemicals Applied in Non-Liquid Form. Timberlands Limited now purchase a hexazinone and terbuthylazine mix in granular form. This reduces the risks from spillage when transporting and storing. There is also less waste residue. The production of the granular formulation was as a direct request to the pesticide manufacturer from Timberlands Limited to minimise environmental risk.

    Alternative Strategy: Control is based upon the weeds present and the weeds likely to be present, environmental or operational restrictions, soil type and characteristics (fine sand 1st rotation sites tend to blow away with broadcast spraying resulting in top soil erosion and sand blasting of seedlings), topography, site preparation method (spot cultivation, mounding, line marking only), preferred application method (aerial or ground based) and for second year weed control sites the growth already achieved since planting. Under advice from the research section, where practical, expensive and high application rate are used low rate, lower risk and lower cost products can be substituted.

    Alternative Strategy: GPS Linked Flow Metering. In conjunction with aerial applicators Timberlands Limited are trialling flow metering linked to GPS. If successful this will allow application rates to vary depending on the known plant pest infestation. Therefore rather than applying a rate to control the worst infested areas across the entire site, lower rates can be applied to areas of lower infestation. This will lead to less active ingredient being applied to the site.
