Abstract

As a traditional tree protection technique, trunk whitening is widely used in agriculture, forestry, and landscaping. This article comprehensively analyzes the research results and practical experience of trunk whitening in recent years, and explores the principles, functions, technical methods, equipment innovation, and application effects of whitening. The article elaborates on the preparation and usage precautions of whitening agents, analyzes the whitening practices and effectiveness evaluations of different regions and tree species, points out the problems and challenges of current whitening technology, and provides prospects for future research directions. Research has shown that whitening tree tr unks has significant effects in preventing freezing, sunburn, sterilization, and insect infestation. However, with the introduction of mechanized and intelligent equipment, whitening technology is developing towards high efficiency, environmental protection, and low cost.
