Purchase of natural origin alternative treatment agent “Woodcoat” or equivalent for forest seedling treatment and protection against the large pine weevil

This tender concerns the procurement of a natural origin alternative treatment agent, specifically "Woodcoat" or an equivalent product. The primary purpose of this agent is to treat and protect forest seedlings. A key objective is to provide effective defense against the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis), a significant pest in forestry that can cause substantial damage to young trees. The procurement aims to identify and acquire a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for seedling protection, moving away from potentially more harmful chemical treatments. Bidders are expected to offer products that meet specific efficacy standards for pest control while adhering to natural origin criteria. The scope of work likely involves the supply of the treatment agent, and potentially associated application guidance or support, to ensure its proper and effective use in forest regeneration activities. This initiative underscores a commitment to sustainable forestry practices and the protection of valuable forest resources through the adoption of ecological pest management strategies. The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering a product that demonstrably protects young trees from the destructive impact of the large pine weevil, contributing to the health and resilience of Latvia's forests.
