Upper Snowy Landcare Network has just completed a trial of Hiko (small) vs. Forestry (large) tubestock under their Dieback Project to plant back trees and shrubs. Under a $50,000 grant from the National Landcare Program, three different sites across the Monaro were planted with 1000 trees and shrubs each in 20:80 mix of Forestry and Hiko tubestock. They were monitored for survival and growth rate over the ensuing 6 months. Survival rate at 6 months was at a record high at 88.8%. This is most likely due to watering several times during the driest periods post-planting. At 6 months post-planting there were significant survival and growth advantages of using larger tubestock in one of the three sites (Fig. 1). เลวิตร้า ซื้อที่ไหน These results are similar to those from another two sites planted previously by Upper Snowy Landcare Network. However, in that case, the survival advantage was only detectable in plants […]
