availability of water supply, sustainability of farm crops, and investment opportunities
Site Selection
It is a fertilizer and a solid amendment of organic material
Compost
Assists plants in the digestion and manufacture of foods
Potassium
Method of planting seeds first in a seed box
Transplanting
derived from compost manure and plants or animal remains
Organic fetilizer
also known as mineral or commercial fertilizer
Inorganic Fertilizer
This stimulates the development of healthy leaf growth through the production of chlorphyll
Nitrogen
It is the mechanical manipulation of soil using tools and implements for the preparation of seedbeds.
Tilling, tillage
Pertains to the application of fertilizer in a specific location in the soil
Placement
It is the artificial application of water to the soil by means of tubes
Irragation
where seed or grains are scattered and spread over a well prepared soil.
Broadcasting
Sustains the crops by direct rainfall
Rainfed Farming
Are material that support the absorption of nutrients by plans effectively from the soil
Growth Enhancers
Sometimes called Trickle Irrigation
Drip Irrigation
This is a chemical that eliminates weeds
Herbicide
According to the actions implemented, the structures and infrastructure required by these activities and the natural resources and natural landscape of the area
Field layout
water is distributed across the land through manual labor and using watering cans.
Manual Irrigation
Sometimes called flood irragationj
Surface Irrigatoin
this is done by manually uprooting the weeds from the soil
Hand pulling
Undesirable plants that grow in places intended for desired plants
Weeds
Method of planting seeds where they are planted directly on the field
Direct Seeding
The solid wastes of hogs, chicken and cattle maintain and improve the soil.
Manure
The plant rows are arranged in an equidistant manner
Hill Planting
Promotes development of roots, stems, blossoms and fruits
Phosphorous
It primarily helps the farmers determine all the factors that affect the profitability and sustainability of the enterprise.
Feasibility Study
Involves the removal of certain parts of a plant such as infected branches or roots
Pruning
Done by dropping the seed into the soil using a seed drill
Drilling or line sowing
Uses spray cans sprinklers or furrow irragation.
Liquid application
This refers to natural or synthetic material origin that is applied to the soil or plant tissues
Fertilizer
include unwanted insects germs or other organisms that affect the cropping activity
Pests
Drops of water are delivered at the roots of the plants
Drip Irragation
Water is distributed in the field through a system of pipes
Sprinkler Irrigation
Done by spreading fetilizers over the field
Broadcasting
water is dispersed over and across the land by gravity and there is no machanical pump involved
Surface Irrigation
It enebles farmers to save time energy and other resources, these include debushing or bush clearing, removal of stones, ripping and leveling of the soil.
Land preparation and improvement
4 factors of Field Layout
Flexibility of the farm location, use a contour map, water reservoir, Financial position of the farm owner
water is spread under low pressure through a pipe network and is applied to each plant
Localized Irrigation
Done by mixing the nitrogenous fertilizer and soil in a ratio
Pellet Application
It is done by placing any organic covering on top of the garden plot to prevent water from evaporating in the soil
Mulching
type of seaweed and commod growth enhancer available in the market
Kelp
