The use of effective and sustainable agricultural solutions to crop growing are available to boost productivity and reduce costs.
It has led to achievement of sustainability which is the goal for every grower.
Agricultural Solutions to Crop Growing, Irrigation and Water Conservation
There are various ways of producing, weeding, harvesting, and storing crops that offer measure of control to losses. Use of modern ways of agriculture provides room for mitigation and handling problems such as pests, diseases, natural disasters, and animal interference.
Greenhouses
Crops such as capsicum, tomato, onions, melons, and strawberries can grow well in a greenhouse environment. The greenhouse environment are suitable for faster and efficient crop production. Generally, the yield is higher compared to outside farming produce. Crops mature faster since adequate water, air, fertilizer, and temperatures are available in the greenhouse environment.
Fertilizer Application
It is possible and easier to distribute nutrients to crops using fertilizer injector kits. The fertilizer kits feeds soluble fertilizers into an irrigation system through pressure changes.
Crop Irrigation Systems
Watering crops is nowadays easier and more efficient with the available smart irrigation solutions. Irrigation systems like drip irrigation, sprinkler, rain hose and button drip irrigation offer maximum efficiency in water supply.
Weed Control
There are good agricultural solutions to prevent weed growth in crop fields. You can use mulching papers to cover soil surfaces reduces weed growth in farms. Using a proper irrigation system can also help control weeds. Drip irrigation is the recommended method to curb weed growth in crop fields. The water supply to crop zones is the key to lowering competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight.
Solar Dryers
Food drying methods are available with more efficient capacity and faster drying rates compared to traditional dryers. Solar dryers use solar energy to dehydrate crops without damaging the nutritional value. We have various, design, sizes, and types of solar dryers for affordable prices in Kenya.
Water Harvesting with Dam Liners
Dam lining is the technique of using dam liner covers to enhance leak-proof surfaces of dams, ponds, and concrete tanks. The dam liner materials are suitable for water storage since they are hard and strong waterproof covers. Dam liners are polythene plastic covers with UV resin and thus highly resistant to corrosion and UV radiation.
Advantages of Sustainable Agricultural Solutions
- High production rates. Applying sustainable growing solutions such as greenhouse farming and irrigation methods leads to high production.
- Land Utilization – You can utilize small land to produce more by adopting greenhouse farming. Similarly, you can turn large dry land to production by harvesting rainwater with dam liners and irrigating with drip methods.
- Water Conservation – There is much efficiency in water use and thus more water can be conserved for irrigation.
- Fertilizer utilization and control – With fertilizer supply through smart irrigation systems, there is a balance in supply to crops.
- Low cost of maintenance – Application of modern agricultural solutions reduces the cost of operation and maintenance.
- Quality in production – Due to pest and weed control, crops produce quality yields.
- Reduces environmental pollution – sustainable irrigation reduces soil erosion; mulching covers are environmentally friendly.
- Improvement in Food Security – agricultural solutions make it easier to grow food and boost supply banks.
