Planting design and main types of soil fertilization programs

in ecoTrain2 years ago

In modern agriculture, the objectives of the plantation design are basically to allow the incidence of the greatest amount of light on the trees; to allow each tree the maximum use of space and soil fertility; and to facilitate the handling of the machinery inside.

▶ Planting distances depend on the species, variety, rootstock or rootstock to be planted, the topography of the land, the physicochemical conditions of the soil, the mechanization and even the useful life time determined in the project, the maximum distance between plants.

The organic edaphic fertilization program is based on a fertilizer that comes from animals, humans, vegetable remains of food or other organic and natural sources.

The chemical edaphic fertilization program uses products that are manufactured by industrial means, such as nitrogen fertilizers (made from fossil fuels and air) like urea or those obtained from mining, such as phosphates or potassium, calcium, zinc.

And the edaphic fertilization program using humus, which is a complex organic substance of dark brown or black color, whose exact composition is not known. It constitutes 1/5 to ½ of the organic matter of peat, compost, mulch and decomposed animal manures.

The importance of humus in plant development is mainly due to its high buffering capacity in a considerable variation of pH. It tends to stabilize soil structure, retains an enormous amount of water and has a high base exchange capacity.

Thanks for the agric education.

Thanks to you @fredkese for taking an interest in reading my content.

My pleasure

I love corn. That's what we usually plant on our little farm.

@dehai corn is a reference crop in the world, it is good that you execute agricultural practices in this very important crop.

It is very interesting the amount of variants that the farmer must take into account in order to be able to bring a product to our table.

I think that the most important thing in this whole production process has to do with the way of approaching the type of fertilizers to be used.

Every day humanity bets more and more on the products obtained using the most natural methods possible that reduce the increase of diseases and that make the life of the field more viable in all its aspects

Thank you for sharing such interesting knowledge, dear @agrovision!.

Until next time!


@bravofenix run agricultural practices in a very interesting and it is certainly the gateway to food, thank you for reading me.
