Plantation Revitalisation
As well as specialising in the establishment and management of plantations, Burman Bioenergy is also able to offer a range of services to existing plantations that are not achieving optimal production yields.
At the forefront of this range of services is the use of our proprietary crop specific liquid microbial inoculation which can be injected directly into the root system of established trees, vastly improving both yield and productive life of existing plantations.
This is based on the same crop specific, customised microbial inoculation added at the nursery stage in the establishment of all our highest yielding plantations.
The Process
- Injection needle is inserted up to 60cm deep into the soil, close to the roots
- Pulse of air aerates the soil, creating cavities for injecting the liquid microbial inoculation
- The liquid is pumped into a large volume of soil through the cavities
- The microbial fungi begins connecting with the roots and growing a network of fibres which acts as an additional root system, increasing root mass by up to 700 times, delivering more nutrient and moisture to each tree.
A potential increase in production of between 30-40% can be expected.
Just some of the many plantations that can be revitalised through the use of Burman Bioenergy’s proprietary Microbial Inoculation include:
- Avocado
- Banana
- Black Pepper
- Coffee
- Forestry Trees
- Citrus(Orange,Lemon,Lime,Grapefruit)
- Durian
- Dragon Fruit
- Jatropha Curcas
- Longan
- Lychee
- Moringa Oleifera
- Oil Palm
- Olives
- Papaya(Paw Paw)
- Rubber
- Tea (Camellia)
- Millettia(Pongamia)
- Pomegranate
- SilverLeaf
- Wine Grapes
