🤔 Do you know the 3 pillars of #soilfertility ❔

🌱 To determine the health of a soil, various indicators are analyzed and their values are compared to an optimal range. They are categorized into three groups: 🧪 chemical, ⚛️ physical and 🪱 biological.

#️⃣ Partner #️⃣ 2️⃣ 5️⃣ CSIC 🇪🇸 is the leading research organization in Spain with more than #️⃣ 100 institutes. CEBAS-CSIC will be the institute participating in this proposal with expertise in #soilscience , #soilfertility and #microbial biodiversity.

🪱 #Manuring , the application of organic materials like animal dung, compost, and green manure to soil, is a crucial practice in #sustainableagriculture as it offers a multitude of benefits for #soilfertility , and nutrient cycling.

The fallen leaves are a natural mulch which enrich the soil by providing nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and potassium.

Crop rotation is a strategy to increase crop yield. Planting an alternating crop helps diversify the demands placed on your soil. Crop rotation results in crops that yield more and consistently produce, so be sure to limit corn-over-corn planting in your fields.

GREEN MANURE

Dhaincha ( #Sesbania aculeata)  is the most important green manure crop.

The best stage at which the crop should be incorporated is 5 to 6 weeks old crop

#Nutrient

Bananas generally thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soils with a PH range of 5.6 to 7.5. #SoilTesting to ensure the appropriate PH levels is key for optimal nutrient availability of banana plants.

#Coffee gaps are areas between coffee plants where the soil is exposed or left unplanted.

Effective #SoilFertility management like weeding, mulching etc in these gaps is crucial for maintaining the overall health & productivity of a coffee plantation.

Conservation farmers are the farmers of the future. The results of #biovitam just like pregnancy can't be hidden. A smart farmer knows intercropping has tonnes of benefits. Conservationists concerned with #SoilHealth not #soilfertility . #jujaroad , #uthiru

Emphasizing the importance of infrastructure and investment, governments must prioritize #fertilizer production. #Rwanda 's collaboration with OCP AFRICA leads by example, producing fertilizer locally to boost crop yield and #SoilFertility . #Rwanda FertilizerCompany #Agriculture

Visit to different Government Departments for advocacy of second cropping, finding schemes related to natural farming, zero farming techniques and second cropping for maximizing leverage.
