Summary in the original language of the document

In this practice abstract you will learn about different drivers of fodder tree mortality and suitable planting techniques.

Summary translation

Les arbres fourragers ont un excellent potentiel pour produire du fourrage de qualité. La plantation de haies fourragères est une opération relativement simple (environ 400 arbres plantés par personne et par jour) mais un suivi régulier des arbres doit être éffectué pendant les deux premières années pour limiter les attaques de ravageurs et arroser lorsque le sol est trop sec.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Drivers of fodder tree mortality and practical recommendations and techniques for planting.
What problem does the tool address?:	Regular monitoring of fodder trees.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Fodder trees have excellent potential to produce quality forage. Planting fodder hedgerows is a relatively simple operation (about 400 trees planted per person per day), but regular monitoring of the trees is required during the first two years to limit pest attacks and water when the soil is too dry.
