• soak the seed for about 5 minutes
• Wash the seed with hot water after done with the 2 methods

• Suitable soil, weather, enough water, space, light

Respacing/Thinning
Thinning is a process in which we have to remove or cut down selected trees to
create distance between the growth of other trees.
Reasons include:
• Reduce number of trees in stand
• Stand hygiene
• Remove trees of poor form
• Favor most vigorous tree
• Provide intermediate return
In forestry, thinning is a specialized
clearing of trees, which is essentially done
to expand the rate of expansion or excess
strength of trees. A tree that was too thick
felt like a piece from its neighbor. Thinning
may be done to extend protection from
ecological burdens such as the dry season
which will accelerate fires. This is because
with the presence of imprisonment
between growths, the percentage for fire
spread will decrease.
Monitoring
The ongoing assessment of the
technical, environmental and social performance and impacts of management
There are 2 type of nutrient in plant which is macronutrient and micronutrient. Most
seedling will hardly depends on macronutrient.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, kalium are the examples that our seedling need. Lack of these
nutrient can make them suffer to death.
Most company will use MPK fertilizer on their seedling . this fertilizer already contain
those macronutrient.
We need to remember that never apply fertilizer directly to a seed, whether it's been
germinated or not. The seed has all the nutrients it needs for very early growth.
The fertilizer you do add at this point should be diluted but some we can use solid
fertilizer
Spacing
• Spacing is the spacing between the trees that
had been planted in planted forest
• Spacing is done to avoid competition between
trees in the planted forest for nutrients,
canopy, water and sunlight.
• Example of spacing in planted forest is: - 6 ft x
6 ft, 8 ft x 8 ft
• Spacing also takes into account how large the
area of planted forest is.
Pruning
• Pruning is the process by which branches of
trees that are not important in the planted
forest are cut.
• This activity is to allow trees in the planted
forest to grow more upright and tall to
allow many parts of the tree to be used and
commercialized from a single tree.
• Reduce defects on the trees or logs.
