The subordinated institutions of the Ministry of Forestry are ready for the next silvicultural period 15.03.2016

In all forestries of the republic the works to create the “heaps of snow” for planting material storage during the spring have been carried out. This planting material will fully meet the demands of the municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan.

The preparatory work is carried out in the base forest nurseries as well. One of the important events is snow blackening. The ash or peat is dispersed beneath the seeds to accelerate the snow melting and prevent the spread of such seedling diseases as pine-leaf cast. Moreover, the nursery workers put the seeds of the main forest-forming species for stratification, for adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of the collected seeds.
