Demand for all forms of sawn wood, panels and pulp is increasing around the world but particularly in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. For many years, Omya has provided solutions to neutralize soil acidity and stabilize soil pH in temperate forests. We are now also working with leading forestry advisors and commercial foresters to understand the barriers to productivity faced by short rotation plantations, including the influence of soil condition during planting and calcium deficiency on growth. Our aim is to develop products that will address these issues, creating opportunities for plantations to maximize successful establishment and improve timber quality. Interested in Omya solutions?
