Faster Growth on Nitrogen limiting Sites

New plantations on high rainfall sites such as the BC and Pacific Northwest Coast are subject to fast-draining soils with limited available nitrogen, not to mention undesirable vegetative competition. The higher nitrogen component of Silva Paks in a well-balanced formula can produce seedling growth at rates that will keep transplants at or above the competing vegetation, assuring adequate sunlight to maintain continuous development.

 

Fertilized at Time of Planting

​

This young Douglas fir plantation is growing at a very impressive rate in spite of the dense competition. Silva-Pak PHP enables seedlings to establish a full crown, an extensive root system, and a thick stem that can very quickly push aside and outcompete the surrounding vegetation.
