ProForestry
ProForestry Sweden AB offers the most profitable and environmentally friendly solution to one of forestry's largest problems – how forest plants should be protected against damage by the pine weevil, an insect.
At present nearly 300 million forest plants are treated annually in Europe with poison against the pine weevil. Without protection against the pine weevil, the majority of the plants planted will die, with substantial economic losses as a result.
MultiPro consists of a specially formulated degradable sleeve, which gives the plant protection against the pine weevil, but which is also designed to protect the plant against being dried out as well as to give it a quick initial growth. By enhancing the plant's vitality in a number of crucial ways, MultiPro creates good preconditions for rapid establishment and a high survival rate among the planted forest plants. The development of new technology to ensure successful reforestation today is a fundamental precondition to being able to increase the extraction of biomass in the forests of the future.
