    Drip Irrigation
    Being an important factor of crop growth and development, the level of irrigation is determined by the type of crop, nature of the season and the financial muscle of the farmer to buy the equipment. As drip irrigation being used to irrigate crops using plastic drip tape, drip tape is either put on surface or […]

    Weed Management in a Small Scale Organic Production System
    Being a key factor in agriculture, soil fertility determines the quality and quantity of the crop grown in a given piece of land. As weed management continue to be a challenge facing organic growers, increased weed seed banks reduce yield and the major components to weed management are crops, over head irrigation pipe and make […]

    What is Organic Farming? | Agriculture | Biology | FuseSchool
    As populations have grown, farming practices have become more intensified to maximize crop yields and ensure we can feed the ever growing population. Fertilizers and pesticides are used on crops and animals may be kept inside in more densely packed sheds to maximise milk yields, or egg production, or speed up the time needed for […]

    Regenerative agriculture helping small scale farmers make more from a limited space – part 1
    Regenerative agriculture focuses on growing more food on small land portions by small holder farmers. A bio-secular economy is whereby farmers recycle resources they produce within their farms so that they are able to reuse them into the farms and increase production using simple technologies. Crop diversification helps reduce on pests and diseases and can […]

    Nutrient Cycling | Soil Food Web School
    During photosynthesis plants combine carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sunlight to produce simple sugars and carbohydrates. But just like humans, plants cant live only on sugars and carbs. Fortunately, for plants, there‘s a rich source of nutrients right under their feet and the soil parent material and inorganic matter. When dead plant material or […]

    How to apply fertilizer
    Fertilizers may be granular, crystalline or liquid. Granular fertilizers can be applied directly to the soil and lightly covered to prevent loss by evaporation. Water the plants after applying fertilizers if the growing medium is not moist. This will ensure that the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. Granular fertilizers can be applied in […]

    Traditional Methods of Irrigation. Crop Production & Management
    The high quantity and quality production of food is determined by the level and type of technology used during the production process. As water helps in nutrient transportation in body of the plants for their growth, roots absorb water from soil and seeds also need water for germination. Plants act as shield against extremity of […]

    Soil A Source of Healthy Life
    Being a mixture of minerals, water, air and organic matter, healthy soils produce healthy food for healthy life of animals. Organic matter stores 2500 billion tons of carbon, boost soil fertility, buffer in air, water , nutrients and there is more life below ground than above ground of soil. Animals, fungi, bacteria and microbes work […]

    How to setup Drip Irrigation
    Drip irrigation continues to allow the continuous production of agricultural products throughout the year. Start by connecting power lock flush valve to on end of tubing and remove cap until after flushing the lines. Use wire staples to fasten block tubing across the tunnels and cut the supply and the headline 3 inches near and […]

    Traditional Manure Pit
    Most traditional farmers use sub standard manure of 8-10 feet deep. Sub standard manure pits During the rainy season the manure gets wet and dries up under the sun loosing most of its nutrients. Excess heat accumulates in deeper layers due to lack or aeration killing the useful aerobic microbes, creating a heap of pathogens […]
