Arable farming is a type of crop production that produces a wide range of annual crops. This means that the crop life cycle, from germination to seed production, is complete within one year. Depending on the type of use, there are a few different types of arable crops. These include: Grain crops; cultivated grasses andRead more

Nematodes are microscopic roundworm- like organisms that live in water films and water-filled pore spaces within the soil. Nematodes have the ability to fill almost any part and body that contains at least some amount of water. Most nematodes are free-living organisms which feed on bacteria, fungi, protozoans, or other nematodes. Many are parasites ofRead more

The life of every crop starts with a seed. Small but powerful, it has the ability to feed the world. Since food is the most universal necessity among all human beings, the seed is the most valuable and the important farm produce. Mankind and most other living organisms are totally dependent on the availability ofRead more

From the very beginning, the most important necessity to sustain human life has been food. After only being able to eat wild crops and animals initially, humans then began to domesticate crops. Early farmers produced crops that had more desirable traits than wild ones. They used them as a seed source for subsequent generations ofRead more

Vegetable transplants are young green plants that are grown from seeds, and partially from vegetative plant parts. Depending on the mode of transplant production and delivery date, they can be produced in the field (outdoor) or in a greenhouse (indoor). Unlike direct sowing, transplant production requires higher amounts of human labor. However, there are severalRead more

  Fertigation is the type of fertilization in which fertilizers are applied through an irrigation system directly to the plant roots. This is the most advanced and efficient fertilization practice. Even ancient farmers have recognized this farm practice as very efficient and useful for successful crop production. Broadcast fertilization leaves a considerable fraction of the fertilizer on theRead more

Crop nutrients are elements which are essential in providing healthy and vigorous plants. They initiate all processes vital for crop development. Therefore, the plant needs nutrients throughout its growing cycle. Plant nutrients are available in various forms and nutrient ratios. Among the various plant nutrients, whether based of organic or mineral composition, they all canRead more

Nutrients play an important role in crop growth and development. Therefore, it’s extremely important to ensure that well-balanced and quality nutrients are provided throughout the entire crop life-cycle. The secret to good nutrient management is to ensure that crops are receiving the right quantity of nutrients exactly when they need them most. In this regard,  here areRead more

Farmer’s race for higher yields starts long before the beginning of a crop’s life cycle. In aiming to reach the best crop production results, farmers always have to be one step ahead. Therefore, every successful farmer invests a lot of effort in sowing preparation practices. Proper seedbed preparation depends on two essential factors: Soil management Crop nutrient managementRead more

Every crop needs a balanced diet, made up of different nutrients that are vital throughout its life cycle. Nutrients that are balanced evenly throughout the soil represent one of the most important aspects of  farm management. Since the crops take the nutrients from the soil, it’s essential to apply these nutrients back before the beginning of every farmRead more
