Soil conservation

  Soil conservation is the practice of protecting the soil from erosion and nutrient depletion, preserving its fertility, and maintaining its ability to support plant growth. It is essential for sustaining agricultural productivity and preserving the environment. Here are some key practices and techniques for soil conservation: Conservation tillage : This involves reducing or eliminating the amount of soil disturbance during planting and harvesting. It helps to reduce soil erosion and improve soil health. Cover crops: These are crops grown between planting seasons to protect and enrich the soil. They help to reduce soil erosion, increase organic matter in the soil, and improve soil structure. Crop rotation : This is the practice of alternating the crops grown on a particular piece of land over time. It helps to maintain soil health and reduce soil-borne diseases and pests. Terracing: This is the construction of level platforms on steep slopes to prevent soil erosion. It helps to sl...

Natural Pest Control vs. Artificial Pest Control

  Natural Pest Control vs. Artificial Pest Control   Which One Works Best? Pest control is an important aspect of agriculture that can help prevent damage to crops and ensure a good harvest. There are two main methods of pest control: natural and artificial. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to choose the best method for your specific situation. Natural Pest Control Natural pest control is the use of natural methods to control pests without the use of synthetic chemicals. This method is beneficial for the environment and is also safe for humans and animals. The following are some natural pest control methods that can be used: Crop Rotation: Crop rotation is the process of planting different crops in a particular field each year to reduce soil-borne pests and diseases. This method can also help to improve soil quality and prevent nutrient depletion. Companion Planting: Companion planting is the process of planting different crops together to repel p...

The future of agriculture

 The Future of Agriculture  Embracing Technology, Greenhouses, and New Hybrids Agriculture has come a long way since the days of manual farming, and with the rapid advancement of technology, there is no telling how much further it can go. The agriculture sector is experiencing significant changes and innovations that are changing the face of farming. From greenhouses to the application of technology and the development of new hybrids, the future of agriculture is bright and promising. Greenhouse Concept The greenhouse concept has revolutionized agriculture by providing an environment in which crops can be grown and harvested throughout the year. Greenhouses are used to control the temperature, light, and humidity, making it possible to grow plants that would not ordinarily survive in the surrounding environment. They have been around for centuries, but the modern-day greenhouse has seen significant improvements in design and technology. The introduction of smart greenhouse tec...

Fruit preservation

  Fruits are preserved and used in the off season     Fruits can be grown at any time of the year and get a good harvest, but some fruits give signature only for a season and there is a large surplus for that season.  The process of preservation can be called fruit preservationIt is important to select and preserve the best method for each fruit from the wide range of food preservation methods available. Why is fruit preservation necessary? Being able to avoid wastage of excess fruit harvest Fruits that are harvested only in season can be consumed in the off-season as well There is diversification of food in accident preservation. For example, if we take Dibul fruit products, ready-to-drink drinks such as cordial pulp and ledar can be processed and through this, the developed fruit gets more value and value than selling it as a fresh fruit.For example, if we take the mango fruit, in addition to the above products, the pulp of the ripe fruit is cut into piec...

How to grow orchids

  How to grow orchids Plantings are obtained from tissue culture laboratories and after hardening the plants are sold as group pots, two-inch mesh pot plants and as plants maintained until higher growth stages.This depends on the knowledge and facilities of the growers as to when the planting material is obtained and how long it is maintained. Tissue culture pots containing rooted plants for hardening can be purchased from commercial level laboratories. Small-mouthed bottles are often used as pots, and plants are obtained by carefully cracking the glass bottles to minimize damage when removing the plants from the medium.  Some laboratories use large-mouthed containers such as jam bottles as planting containers. If you intend to buy group pots with tissue culture plants, it will allow you to maintain your orchid business with moderate soil, ie more plants in the pot during the season.Also, by buying these plants at the initial stage, you have to maintain the fruit for a peri...

Bokashi compost production

  Bokashi compost production Composting is the process by which organic matter is semi-digested by microorganisms to make compost, which is essential for plant growth.  Therefore, natural compost is not made and human intervention is essential. Boxing compost is a different method of composting, as well as a composting method, which requires specialized equipment and liquid compost, as well as compost.  It only takes 10 days to convert and the nutrient value is higher than any other method of composting. Bokashi is a Japanese word meaning "fermented organic matter".  This method was developed and introduced in 1980 by Mr. Turo Higa, a professor at Ryukyus University in Okinawa, Japan. In the Bokashi system, the active microorganisms in a special bucket ferment the kitchen waste (husks, husks, meat, milk, eggshells, bones, etc.) and make an excellent organic fertilizer.  Unlike conventional compost production, this is an anaerobic process that does not requir...

Importance of water in ornamental plant cultivation

  The importance of water for the cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants Water, an essential element for a plant, is essential in a variety of crops. Flowers and ornamental foliage are essential for growth and development. A living plant cell contains more than 80% water.  And the actions of hormones do not take place properly.  Respiration is also impaired due to lack of energy for cell division and plant growth. Water is important as a primary ingredient for photosynthesis. Also, when the amount of water in the soil decreases to melanin, the photosynthesis rate drops by 87% from the original photosynthesis due to leaf wilting. Reapplying water returns to normal in two to three hours.  Is.  That is, due to the drought in the crop, the photosynthesis is reduced and it takes several days for the water supply to return to normal. The two main factors that contribute to the decrease in photosynthesis when the amount of water in the soil decreases:- 1. Dec...

Pest control

  Use of Anoda seed extract for pest control in vegetable cultivation In pest control, the use of synthetic pesticides based on a single active compound kills the pest instantly.  However, the widespread use of these synthetic pesticides in pest control has resulted in adverse strains, destruction of beneficial organisms, and deposition of toxic residues in the crop, leading to adverse health effects, but pesticides  Provides protection to the crop from being crippled or systematically killed or repelled.  There is a high demand for bio-pesticides in the world due to the rapid decomposition of these pesticides, the minimal adverse effects on the environment and their health benefits.  Research has shown that the demand for biological pesticides in pest control is growing by 16% annually. The use of herbicides as pesticides has become a major component of agriculture in the world.  Commercially manufactured herbal pesticides are very important to avoid it. ...
