Currently under development are a long-acting fertilizer for conifer seedlings and a young stand protection product against browsing damage caused by ungulates.

Long-acting fertilizer for pine (Pinus sylvestris) and spruce (Picea abies) seedlings ensures a steady supply of nutrients during their most intensive growth phases in the first 2–3 years after planting. During this period, seedlings do not yet have a sufficiently developed root system to effectively utilize soil resources; therefore, gradually soluble mineral fertilizers help to:

• provide a consistent availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, avoiding leaching and overdosing;
• promote faster root system establishment and needle mass growth;
• increase seedling resilience to moisture deficits and competition with weeds;
• reduce the need for frequent additional fertilization, lowering labor costs.

The use of such fertilizer in the first years is essential to ensure uniform and vigorous seedling establishment in plantations and forest stands.
