AI Technical Summary
At present, the technology for cultivating knot-free high-quality timber in Masson pine plantations is backward, resulting in many knots, poor trunk shape, and low timber quality. Furthermore, the ecological benefits of mixed forests have not been fully realized.
By adopting a mixed planting method of pine and broadleaf trees, combined with the formula for the area of Masson pine branch stump burial and the use of external growth agents, targeted pruning treatment is carried out. Through thinning methods such as cutting small trees and leaving large ones, cutting bent trees and leaving straight ones, cutting diseased and insect-infested trees, and cutting dense trees and leaving sparse ones, the forest density is adjusted to promote the growth of Masson pine and the formation of knot-free high-quality timber.
It significantly improved the growth rate and timber quality of Masson pine, shortened the cultivation cycle of knot-free high-quality timber, enhanced the ecological and environmental benefits of forests, and increased the economic benefits per unit area.
