All-Terrain Land Imprinting
Land imprinters differ significantly from traditional seed drills. The imprint pattern, which presses the seed into the soil, helps to restore critically degraded soil structure, improves rainfall infiltration by concentrating rainwater, and serves to provide a safe microsite for seed germination and establishment. We recommend the use of Mycorrhizal Inoculum in the imprinting process.
Our land imprinters are specially suited for incorporating Mycorrhizal Inoculum into the soil structure. These new restoration tools, which are designed to plant native grass and shrub species over rough, rocky and steep terrain, give NTFI expanded capabilities for rehabilitation, restoration and revegetation operations which include:
- Forest road building and maintenance
- Forest road decommissioning
- Grassland restoration
- Seed imprinting
- Seeding projects on slopes
