About this deal

Carry out a time and method study of the relative cost and efficiency of the different chemical thinning and ring barking techniques. This preparation for your assessment will take in the region of 8 hours to complete, do not leave it to the last minute. Remember you need to have completed all the tasks before attending your assessment. The onus is on you to be ready, it works perfectly, as long as you’ve done everything we ask you to 😊 Assessment

Ecoplug contains granular glyphosate to kill the whole root system of targeted trees with no effect on surrounding trees. Ecoplugs, conventional herbicide application to stem cuts and manual ring barking all allowed infection to some extent of Heterobasidion annosum, a disease that can cause serious and long term damage to current and future conifer crops. However, although it was not possible to make a direct comparison in our work, the Heterobasidion annosum infection that results from using Ecoplugs is unlikely to be significantly higher than the infection that typically occurs after conventional thinning operations due to accidental stem damage. If an entire stand is going to be killed, then felling and treating stumps with the prophylactic fungicides urea or PG Suspension ® (0.5% w/v Phlebiopsis gigantea), will present a lower risk of infection from Heterobasidion annosum than any method of chemically killing standing trees. Each Ecoplug contains water soluble granules containing 720g/kg glyphosate, which when hit into a stump is released into the Xylem & Phloem of the tree. This kills the tree stump therefore controlling tree stump re-growth.By utilizing EcoPlug Max the stump/tree will die. Treat the stump by applying the plug immediately after felling, in fresh wood. Investigate the impact of the different chemical thinning treatments and ring barking on subsequent infection from the wood rotting disease Heterobasidion annosum, and in addition the efficacy of the treatments for killing standing Japanese larch and Scots pine. Willoughby, I.H., Stokes, V.J. and Connolly, T. (2017). Using Ecoplugs containing glyphosate can be an effective method of killing standing trees. Forestry 90 (5), 719 – 727.

This research was funded by Forest Enterprise Scotland and Forestry Commission Scotland. In addition, the Forestry Commission funded the production of the scientific papers via the Delivering Resilient Forests research programme of the Forestry Commission Science and Innovation Strategy Easy to use – drill a 13 mm hole approx. 30-35 mm deep and place ecoplugs every 6-8 cm around the outside of the stumpEcoplugs can be used at any time of the year and in any weather conditions, since the plugs are sealed into the stump preventing any herbicide movement out-side the stump.

Details

Ecoplug Max ® can be used in a variety of areas including amenity areas, forestry, rail & motorway embankments, near water courses and around buildings. It can be used in all weather conditions and will not cause any effect to neighbouring trees. Using a hammer, hit each Ecoplug Max until the head is flush with the stump. This will force out the sides of the plug and release the glyphosate Although, you will have to bring your own PPE as you are going to need it once qualified. But don’t worry we provide a thorough list of exactly what you need to bring with you so no hiccups on the day. Candidate portal
