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 Method: Reduction, Removal
Active Ingredient:
Alternative Trial: Yes
Alternative Type: Good management practice
Pest Type: Weed
