The planting of deep rooted poplars is one of the best alternatives in terms of forestry investment for deep soils with access to the phreatic layer. Black poplar is managed on a 12 to 15 year rotation and provides an 8% profit on suitable soils.
The implementation process involved the following stages:
- Viability study of planting, soil, phreatic layer (soil study)
- Marking out of planting lines using a tractor and metal ranging rods
- Regular planting in 6 x 6 m planting distance using a backhoe excavator, to a depth where phreatic water appeared (1.2 to 2 m)
- Grading
