22 March 2019, Friday

Currently, forest nurseries of the Republic of Tatarstan are working on “blackening of snow” - scattering ash on plots of sown branches in order to accelerate the descent of snow cover and preserve water in the soil. For example, on March 20, employees of the State Budgetary Institution of the Republic of Tatarstan “Aksubayevskiy Forestry Enterprise” conducted such work on the territory of nurseries of Ibraykinskiy and Cheboksarskiy district forestry. In total, more than 320 kg of ash were deposited on the area of ​​1.2 hectares, 6 people were involved.

Specialists of the State Budgetary Institution of the Republic of Tatarstan “Alkeyevskiy Forestry Enterprise” conducted such work on the territory of nursery of Bazarno-Matakovskiy district forestry. They brought 500 kg of ash on the area of ​​1.3 hectares.

It is worth noting that this procedure also reduces the risk of infection of planting material with various diseases, as well as the risk of spring sunburn: “snow blackening” helps to reduce the reflection of sunlight.
