Como lograr una Fertilización Eficiente en su Cultivo

La fertilidad del suelo es el factor más limitante a la productividad de los cultivos en muchas regiones tropicales del mundo incluyendo el África sub-sahariana, por lo que se requiere una Fertilización Eficiente. El costo de comprar fertilizantes es muchas veces mayor que en otras regiones del mundo. Por ejemplo, le puede costar más a un pequeño agricultor a 100 km de un puerto, moverlo de ese puerto a su finca que lo que vale moverse miles de kilómetros [...]

The width of the strips is determined to ensure homogeneous adequate water distribution into the soil profile to meet [...]

Sistema de Cultivo en Cama Elevada

Muchas granjas pequeñas que cosechan en "campo plano" se están convirtiendo a cultivo en surcos elevados o "cultivo en cama elevada". Hay muchas consideraciones a tener en cuenta antes de pasarse al sistema de cama elevada, como veremos a continuación. Las camas Elevadas son una forma de plantar cultivos en los cuales los surcos, largas hileras excavadas por un arado – están espaciadas a veces en forma amplia, a veces no tanto, y los cultivos son plantados en la parte [...]
