Every year, forest owners across Northern Europe lose hundreds of millions of euros due to forest pests and wildlife damage. One of the most destructive threats to young plantations is the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.), which causes substantial harm to newly planted seedlings, resulting in increased costs for forest management and reforestation.
Existing solutions are often costly, inefficient, or incompatible with FSC® standards.
JIFTECO has developed an innovative, sustainable plant protection solution that effectively addresses these critical issues.
