Description
INNOBANDAS promotes the application of innovative techniques to sustainably solve the health problem known as “needle bands” that progressively and increasingly affect pine stands.
Objectives
- To verify the effectiveness in our forests of the innovative techniques used in New Zealand, Chile and those developed by our research centres for the control of needle banding.
- Analyze the economic and environmental sustainability of the techniques indicated above.
- Develop and implement innovative techniques for efficient systematic prospecting, defoliation assessment and measurement of results.
- Minimize the economic damage caused to pine forest managers by needle band disease.
Results
- Increase in green needle density and wood volume growth after carrying out the tests.
- Evaluation of the quantity of product used in the tests that is detected in the surface waters and soil of the area.
- Establishing the accuracy and costs of each prospecting technique, evaluating defoliation and measuring results.
