Zero Burning Replanting Technique

1. It allows complete return of organic matter to the soil. This helps to preserve, restore and improve soil chemical and fertility as well as physical properties of the soil.
2. It allows immediate replanting of trees as the new stands can be planted simultaneously while felling and shredding are being done. With slash and burn technique, replanting can only be done after burning process is completely over.
3. The process is not dependent on weather condition unlike previously where the process of felling and burning of the trees would be affected by wet weather resulting in delays in replanting.
4. This technique is non-polluting hence it contributes positively towards minimising global warming.
