Once the plantation is complete, the young poplars, eager for water and nutrients, will begin to develop, but the work has only just begun. In spring and summer, species that may compete with them are eliminated, especially in the first years, by harrowing, generally with a disc harrow. Pruning is very important once the plantation is done. The quality of the wood obtained and, therefore, the future profitability of the exploitation depends on them and their execution. Its objective is to obtain straight and clean stems to obtain the greatest amount of usable wood for the unwinding industry, which is the most profitable. The first three years are dedicated to guiding the plant. The fourth and fifth years are dedicated mainly to cleaning the stem and, with less intensity, to guiding the plant.
After the sixth year, pruning is not usually carried out. With all this, at least 3 meters of clean stem are ensured at early ages, and if growth permits, 6 meters of clean stem during cutting. In response to pruning, the poplar tries to balance its leaf surface by sprouting buds on the trunk, which causes the appearance of suckers - small branches that come out of the central trunk - that must be eliminated Peru Email List to avoid a loss of quality in the wood. . While the poplar trees grow, it is important to monitor their development to know as accurately as possible the real profitability of the exploitation, as well as to monitor and combat pests and diseases that could attack our poplar tree, especially in the first years of life, in which they are most sensitive to any type of damage.
The choice of the planting distance between poplars is conditioned by the availability of nutrients and soil quality of the plot in which we are going to plant. It is possible to plant more trees in very fertile lands, seeking a density close to 400 feet/ha (5x5 framework). However, in lands with lower fertility, it must be adapted to a more suitable one: 278 feet/ha (6x6 frame).It is most convenient to use 6x6 planting frames, that is, 278 poplars per hectare. With this framework, in our climate and in medium-high quality soil, poplars of 35 cm in diameter can be obtained after 15 years. This means that each tree contains approximately one cubic meter of wood for unwinding.
