Description

The problem addressed by the project: 

Sosnowski Heracleum can be found in 71.5 ha of the Debrzno commune. In 2018 and 2019 Heracleum liquidation procedures were successfully carried out in the commune. This year liquidation work continues. The effects so far are satisfactory, but their continuation is necessary due to seeds stored in the soil (they can germinate for 6-8 years). In 2018 and 2019 releasing the seeds was restrained on the entire area. If activities are continued over the next years, there is a real chance to eliminate. 

Main activities planned to meet this challenge: 

As part of the liquidation procedures, we plan: excavation with cutting the upper root (2 times in the 2nd quarter + 1 time in the 3rd quarter), manual spraying (3 times in the Q2 + 1 in the Q3), manual mowing (2 times -1 in Q2 and Q3). In addition, we plan to carry out information activities (3 meetings, publishing 2,000 leaflets). We also plan to supervise the implementation of the project. For this purpose, it is planned to purchase equipment (one notebook with software, 1 camera - SLR + lens 

Expected achievement:

Expected achievement:
