Find what works for your plantation.
Long-term partnerships allow us to learn, test and refine our approach over time. By investing in continuous improvement together, you build on what works to achieve consistent growth and better plantation performance.
We go where trees grow
Forest3 works wherever forestry takes root. We work with foresters all over the world, across markets, species and growing conditions.
From established regions to new frontiers, from single operations to large-scale plantations, we connect knowledge, solutions and local understanding to optimize growth.

What is a NutriBag?
A NutriBag is a precision fertilizer delivery method using a 100% biodegradable paper sachet with a pre-calibrated dose for accurate and consistent rootzone application.
How long does a NutriBag last?
The biodegradable paper sachet breaks down within approximately 6–14 months, depending on soil conditions, organic matter, microbial activity, and climate.
Is one small sachet enough for a tree?
Yes. Each NutriBag contains a pre-calibrated dose of controlled-release fertilizer (CRF). Placed directly in the rootzone, it provides nutrients gradually, supporting efficient nutrient uptake while minimizing losses.
How can so little fertilizer make a difference?
It’s not just about the amount of fertilizer, but how efficiently nutrients are used. By combining controlled-release technology with precise rootzone placement, NutriBag improves nutrient-use efficiency and minimizes losses, making every gram count.
How does controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) differ from conventional fertilizer?
Unlike conventional fertilizers, which release nutrients quickly, CRF granules have a coating that controls nutrient release over time. This provides a more gradual nutrient supply, better aligned with tree growth, improving nutrient-use efficiency and reducing losses.
How does controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) work?
Controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) uses coated granules that gradually release nutrients over time. This helps match nutrient supply to tree demand, improving nutrient-use efficiency while minimizing nutrient losses.
Can you apply fertilizer close to the roots without burning them?
Yes. The protective coating of CRF granules gradually releases nutrients, preventing direct exposure to concentrated salts and minimizing the risk of root burn when applied at the recommended dose.
Can any CRF be used in the rootzone?
No. Not all CRFs are suitable for direct rootzone application. Forest3 uses specially selected, high-quality coated fertilizers designed for safe rootzone placement, minimizing the risk of root burn through controlled nutrient release.
How does every trial help validate our approach?
Each field trial provides measurable data on tree growth and nutrient efficiency under real plantation conditions. These insights help us validate performance, refine our formulations, and build confidence before large-scale application.
