In the first four planting years, in autumn, it is essential to move the soil with disc harrows to improve its structure and permeability.
During these four years, weeds on the soil surface are allowed to grow spontaneously, and a quick soil disking is performed only in case of exceptional events such as floods or prolonged drought. Meadows, on the other hand, are mowed regularly.
With the increasing age of the poplar grove, and especially after the fifth year, further treatments are carried out to improve the growth of trees.
