We have seen that to have high quality poplar, prior planning is very important. And that planning included the depth of the water table of the plantation, the choice of the clone that best adapts to our terrain, and the choice of the planting framework. Once the clone is planted, we must analyze the necessary care for its best development, so that it provides us with high profitability. Cultural care: grading, pruning, phytosanitary treatments and fertilization - Grades: During the first years of the plantation's life, cross-harrowing will be essential to eliminate vegetation, also favoring the decomposition of organic matter, the mineralization of nutrients and the minimization of the risk of fires. - Pruning: They are necessary during the first 5-6 years. There are two types of pruning: training and refaldeo.
The objective of these is to obtain a basal log clean of branches approximately 6 m high, as well as to obtain a straight stem that provides high performance in unwinding. It is advisable to prune the branches before the stem exceeds 10 cm in diameter, not exceeding the pruning height by 1/3 of the total height of the tree in the first three years. - Phytosanitary treatments: Regarding pests and diseases, it is Peru Email List essential to follow good preventive measures and monitor the plantation throughout the cycle, especially the first years. Among the possible treatments we can highlight: Defoliators and borers (the first three years) treated with systematic insecticides in early spring (special care with Melasoma populi in I214). Rusts and Fusarium in inter-American clones.
Fertilization: It should be said that fertilizations are not necessary if the land is suitable, but in cases of low fertility, extra contributions of fertilizers can be made on the surface from the second year onwards. Poplar profitability Obtaining quality wood has a guaranteed market due to a growing global demand for plywood. As a result, a profitability is obtained directly related to the effort made by the populiculturist. Other benefits Apart from the economic profitability derived from purely forestry activity, other benefits are obtained from a poplar grove: Ecological: improvement of biodiversity, CO2 fixation, stabilization of banks, water purification acting as a green filter, etc. Social: job creation, establishment of the rural population and contribution to sustainable development. Furthermore, it is advisable to promote sustainable forestry certification, which provides greater value to the wood, since the final product is more in demand by the industry. The poplar, an investment for the future From Garnica Plywood the message for the future is clear: continue growing and consume more quality wood with a feeling of permanent improvement and innovation that makes a more profitable future possible for everyone.
