Financial Aspects of Restoration in Poplar Plantations with Technology of Full Ground and Soil Preparation

Abstract

Production of poplar wood requires rational and planned management, so that the site and the species potentials are maximally utilised, on the one hand and on the other hand also to realize the favourable financial effects. In this sense, costs and receipts of wood production of poplar clone I-214 were investigated in the Management Unit "Kupinske Grede", compartment 45, stand A, (F.E. "Sremska Mitrovica"). The stand was 37 years old, planting density 6x6 m, forest type poplar on fossil hydromorphic black soil (humosemigley) on loess-alluvium. The commercial profitability of poplar cultivation was analyzed in an artificial poplar plantation, rotation 37 years. The aim of the study was to check the justification of the invested financial means in artificial poplar plantations, based on the analysis of costs and receipts in the period of 37 years, by using the method of analysis of commercial profitability, especially some methods of dynamic investment calculation. The authors emphasize the necessity of improvement of technology of full ground and soil preparation and advice management of the enterprise to the improvement of stable ecosystem in the future. In practice, it is necessary to improve the position of producers in getting the deficient financial means for the investment in poplar cultivation, so as to stimulate the establishment of artificial poplar plantations, especially in the private sector (on private land), which are not attractive for agricultural production.
