    Acetamiprid used to prevent Hylobius abietis damaging young trees poses a very low risk of causing water contamination provided good forestry practices are followed
    Lead Author: Huw Thomas
    A study of chemical runoff following the use of acetamiprid as a pre-treatment and top-up spray to prevent damage from the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) to young trees was undertaken at a restock site in mid-Wales. The site was specifically selected to pose a high risk of chemical runoff, being a high elevation, […]

    Roots TM software

     The Roots software program was developed in 2005 to help developers create attractive and sustainable green environment on brownfield sites. RootsTM facilitates a structured approach to site characterisation, problem-solving, species selection and successful planting schemes. Through the structured approach it explains and interprets data and generates custom-built site-specific specifications for tendering.
