In response to the large amount of interest received from our recently announced “GPS Guided, Mechanical Planting Technology”, outlined below are some of the key benefits obtained through the use of mechanical planting in plantation establishment.
- Perfect Plant / Row Alignment
This allows mechanisation of weeding, pruning, and harvesting, resulting in considerably lower labour requirements.
- Tree / Branch Development
Exact distance between each tree means that branch development will be uniform, allowing also, consistent yield for each tree. If plantation trees are not planted exactly the same distance apart, branches of both trees can cross, causing alternation of yield where some trees produce larger amounts of branches, but less fruit, meaning lower yields.
- Less Damage to Plants
Planting mechanically guarantees less damage to plants, which means a lower percentage of losses during the plantation establishment.
- Superior Root Development
When planting is mechanically GPS guided, the machine opens a deep ditch in the soil, under the exact place where the plant will be planted. This allows a larger development of the roots as they find the earth broken, also allowing faster growth rates and better plant nutrition, hence an earlier and larger harvest.
- Higher Planting Speed
Higher speed in planting allows plantation establishment and harvesting to be completed sooner, resulting in earlier yield and returns.
- Less Labour Required
Lower manual labour requirement for planting, allows the planting process to be completed faster, with less human error.

Not sure if the biofuel plantation project you’re planning to establish has what it takes? Now you can get the nod (or the no) from the experts without breaking the bank. One of the world’s leading biofuel and plantation consultants, Burman BioEnergy, has unlocked its wealth of knowledge and experience that was once available only to the biggest players in the industry.
Burman BioEnergy is pleased to announce that they have extended the scope of their business to include arms-length assessments of the feasibility of proposed biofuel plantations.
Burman BioEnergy will assess the financial and operational feasibility of proposed projects based upon information provided by the companies engaging their services. They will develop a financial model that crunches the appropriate numbers to assimilate profitability considerations into their extensive knowledge and experience of the biofuel industry to produce a comprehensive feasibility report tailored to the specifications of the proposed project. In light of the feasibility study’s findings, Burman BioEnergy will provide recommendations as to how to improve the proposed biofuel plantation to achieve higher returns.
The availability of this insider knowledge will equip smaller companies with the due diligence required to enable them to obtain finance and let them in on the plantation management techniques (read: secrets) used by those achieving yields well above the industry average.
Burman BioEnergy’s Managing Director, Neville Burman said that, “in developing tailored feasibility studies for the companies that may not yet be at the stage of requiring more in-depth services we can provide them with our assessment and recommendations which they can then use to assist them in making a decision as to how to proceed; should their project be viable and they seek our comprehensive plantation consulting services further down the track we would be more than happy to provide such services.”

Burman BioEnergy is now using GPS assisted mechanical planting technolgy to plant up to 25,000 hectares per month of Jatropha, Millettia and Castor Bean.
The same new technology can be used to achieve planting rates of 10,000 hectares per month when planting Oil Palm and Olive trees.
This technology can greatly assist in the economical supply of Turnkey Planting solutions for the establishment of commercial plantations.
As the seeds / plants receive their first application of fertiliser and irrigation at the point of planting, no setback in growth is incurred and an early first harvest is assured.
Burman Bioenergy is supplying Turnkey Plantation Solutions in Australia, Asia, South America, Central America, North America, Europe and African Countries.

Leading oil palm seed producer and palm oil industry consultant Palm Plantations Of Australia has this week launched a new division dedicated to the research and development and commercial realisation of the Australian “Millettia pinnata” species, as a large scale biofuel plantation crop.
Palm Plantations Of Australia managing director, Neville Burman said “interest in the new species as a biofuel crop has been strong, given it’s wider tolerance to adverse climatic conditions, higher oil yield and greater carbon sink”.
“With our experience in palm oil and jatropha plantations, we are now also committed to the advancement of Millettia pinnata genetics for biofuel production.” Mr Burman said.
Millettia Plantations will supply high yielding Millettia pinnata seedlings for plantation establishment as well as specialised consulting services to help plantations achieve optimum yields.
