Nutriplug™: The Next Generation

Providing an added or residual fertilizer load in the plugs of forest tree seedlings prior to outplanting has been an objective pursued by nurseries and forestry operators through the years. Pacific Regeneration Technologies (PRT) has been actively researching and developing means to enhance the performance of forest tree seedlings by providing a fertilizer load at the time of outplanting with the development of its Nutriplug™ product. We are currently experimenting with a technology to deliver metered amounts of controlled release fertilizer in the seedling plug at time-of-lift.
