Before planting a crop, there are several amendments you can add to the soil to improve its fertility and provide essential nutrients. Common soil amendments include: Organic Matter, Fertilizers, Lime, Gypsum, Micronutrients, etc. It's essential to assess the specific needs of the crop and conduct soil testing to determine the appropriate amendments. This ensures that the soil provides the necessary conditions for optimal plant growth, resulting in healthier and more productive crops.
It's important to note that the use of herbicides should be approached responsibly, following recommended guidelines and regulations. Farmers, gardeners, and land managers typically consider factors such as weed species, crop or plant sensitivity, application timing, and environmental impact when determining if and when to use herbicides.
We source water for crop irrigation primarily from boreholes. Boreholes are drilled wells that tap into underground water reserves, providing a reliable and sustainable water source for agricultural purposes. By utilizing boreholes, we can access groundwater resources that can be used to supplement natural rainfall and ensure adequate water supply for crop irrigation throughout the year. Proper management and monitoring of boreholes are essential to maintain the sustainability of water resources and optimize crop growth.
