Station analysis and amendments
Le 20 September 2023 - Manhay
Objectives
The aim of the day is to identify the short- and medium-term impacts of forestry amendments and the best way of applying them. We will also take the opportunity to look at the problem of soil compaction and the soil preparation techniques likely to remedy this, at least partially.
We will be accompanied by Hugues Titeux, a researcher at the Catholic University of Louvain, and Bertrand and Yves Pirothon, nurserymen and forestry contractors.
