 SEEDLING MORTILITY
Why our seedling died?
• The frist thing that we need to know is seedling is still young and it life
depends on many factor. We need to consider about the soil ph level,
tempreture , diseases and others.
• There are some types of species of seedling can’t adapt on acidic soil and
this can make the growth of the seedling stunted. We can over come this
problem by liming the soil.
• Thempreture also play a significant role to help the seedling to growth
well. Many of young seedling can survive high tempreture for a long time.
This can expel the water from the seedling’s body. In this case we need it
plant seedling at other place.
• The medium where the seedling growth is tend to be health. We dont want
the soli contain a lot of dangerous microorganism that can harm the
seedling. We need to do the inventory to know the details about soil to
planting the seedling first.
Seed Growth
Test tube
• 2 methods either using acid or boil water to soak the seed

Method 1 :- acid
• soak the seed for about 5 minutes

Method 2 :- boil water

• soak the seed at every 5,10, and 15 minutes

• Wash the seed with hot water after done with the 2 methods
• The seed will placed on the tissue paper and wait till it sprout
• Suitable soil, weather, enough water, space, light
Mowing Tilling Crop Cover Herbicides

Weed Control
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.

technical, environmental and social performance and impacts of management
Monitoring System
• Method of directing and
organizing monitoring in such a
way that it is both efficient and
effective to implement
• Range in scale from basic
measurement instruments and
paper-based recording to
advanced electronic equipment
Monitoring
The ongoing assessment of the
Operational monitoring Strategic Monitoring
 To ensure that the current
 Long-term analyses and
prescriptions and procedures
assessments of the
are followed
environmental and social
 Provides a framework for
impacts of forest
improving current procedures
and recognizing areas that conservation are used to
need corrective or restorative guide and adapt
action management policies
 SEEDLING NUTRITION
What nutrient that seedling need?

 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.
