Plant Nutrient Management
Plant Nutrient Management involves maintaining soil fertility and ensuring an optimal supply of plant nutrients to sustain desired productivity. This is achieved by integrating all possible sources of organic, inorganic, and biological components.
Key aspects include:
- Tailoring practices to specific yields, sites, and soil conditions
- Understanding the interactions between different nutrients
- Managing nutrients based on cropping systems and rotations
- Recycling on-farm and off-farm waste
GPC BIOCARE advocates for conservation agriculture, which minimizes soil disturbance, promotes intercropping and crop rotations, and develops a permanent soil cover. This approach reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
