Dry tropics, Na-Gnen: Eucalyptus pellita
In a 12-month open-field trial in Na-Gnen, Laos, Forest3 Rootzone was compared with standard forestry fertilization practices during Eucalyptus pellita establishment.
Mean tree height was measured 6 months after transplanting. Trees treated with Forest3 Rootzone were 42 cm taller (+28.4%) on average than trees receiving standard forestry fertilization under the evaluated dry tropical conditions.

Greater mean tree height
At 6 months after transplanting, compared with standard forestry fertilization practices.
Forest3 Rootzone-treated trees reached a mean height of 1.90 m.
At 6 months after transplanting, mean tree height was 1.90 m with Forest3 Rootzone, compared with 1.48 m under standard forestry fertilization practices.
A measurable height advantage under the evaluated dry tropical field conditions.
Mean tree height was greater for Forest3 Rootzone-treated Eucalyptus pellita at 6 months after transplanting.

Field performance
At 6 months after transplanting, tree height was compared between Forest3 Rootzone and standard forestry fertilization practices. Heights are expressed in metres (m). The height difference of 42 cm (+28.4%) refers to the 6-month measurement within the 12-month open-field trial.
Taller trees after transplanting
At 6 months after transplanting, trees treated with Forest3 Rootzone were 42 cm taller (+28.4%) than trees treated with standard forestry fertilization practices. Mean tree height reached 1.90 m with Forest3 Rootzone, compared with 1.48 m under standard fertilization.
