Isna, Oleiros, 23 November 2023 (Rádio Castelo Branco) – Rádio Castelo Branco reported on the results of the first phase of the resin tapping trials in a pine stand in Isna, in the municipality of Oleiros, which came in above the national average.
New methods under test
Next year, a new trial on another 60 pines in Isna will test a closed collection system, designed to improve resin quality, and biological stimulants, intended to increase production. In parallel, traditional tapping will continue on the 60 pines from the first campaign.
The trials are conducted by UTAD and Raízes In within the RN21 Integrated Project, co-financed by the Environmental Fund through Component 12 of the PRR.
