Tree nurseries across the country produced hundreds of millions of saplings needed for spring tree planting.

The Central Tree Nursery under the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection has produced tree saplings while saving much manpower and area by channelling efforts into the innovation of cultivation methods.

It carried out a variety of works including field rezoning, the selection of tree species to be cultivated on each plot and the improvement of soil fertility to increase the production of saplings and put in effort to acclimatize saplings of good tree species to the ecological environment of the country. It produced tens of millions of saplings of more than 50 tree species needed for spring tree planting this year by actively solving problems arising in putting sapling production on a scientific, industrial and intensive basis.

Tree nurseries in all provinces, cities and counties also increased the production of saplings.

The North Hamgyong Provincial Tree Nursery has made it possible to guarantee a high rooting rate in relevant mountainous areas by ensuring scientific nutrition management in keeping with the characteristics of tree species.

The Onsong County Forestry Management Station acquired advanced sapling cultivation techniques and introduced good experience to grow saplings of good tree species with a high economic value that conform to the topographical features of the county.

The Hoeryong city and Kyongsong county forestry management stations markedly boosted the rooting rate of saplings by carefully conducting nutrition management according to seasons after building tree nurseries between forests.

The Kangwon Provincial Tree Nursery increased the soil fertility of sapling fields with hundreds of tons of quality organic fertilizer by conducting the treatment of seeds, seed germination, weeding, nutrition management and extermination of harmful insects in line with scientific and technological requirements. It provided favourable conditions for the production of saplings as it found out materials for substrate to meet the specific conditions and fixed rational mixing ratio of them.

The Wonsan city and Kimhwa county forestry management stations gave priority to securing seeds and raised the saplings of trees of economic value in keeping with the biological features of each species, thus contributing to the afforestation of the city and county.

Good records are registered in sapling production, thanks to the enthusiasm of working people to turn all mountains into “gold and treasure mountains” covered with green forests.
