Note :
- PTA12 (KCa) spread circularly 10-20 cm away from the stem of trees.
- RP are applied at planting, placed into planting hole and mixed with top soil.
- CRF placed into 2 holes oppositely 10-15 cm away from the stem of trees.
- Rosasol placed into holes oppositely 10-15 cm away from the stem of trees.
Maintenance :
- 0.5 months before planting : pre-planting spraying
- Weed covering ≥ 40%
 Weeding 1 : circle weeding + slashing
 Weeding 2 : circle weeding + herbicide spraying
 Weeding 3 : Total slashing + total herbicide spraying

Assessment :
- Assessment plot : 40 trees (4x10) / plot
- Assessment of height and survival : 3, 6,12 & 24 months old
- Assessment of DBH : 12 & 24 months old
