Since the decade of 1970s, the plant saplings have been generally planted in the translucent tube of plastics for the purpose of protecting the plants from being eaten by the browsing animals, although, the research, that has been analyzed by the lifecycle of the plastic and the trees has found that, it had been better for loosing a certain percentage of the saplings than using the plastic guards for the protection of the plants.
