Management techniques used in agriculture - Iplbiologicals

To get the maximum out of agriculture researchers have come out with various management techniques that help make the best for all the people involved in the entire process of crop production.

Some of the management techniques used in agriculture are crop management, disease management, nutrient management, pest management. IPL Biologicals are one of the companies that help in providing all these techniques for your farm.

Here in this article, we are going to discuss three main management techniques that are as follows:

Crop management

All the plants and trees derive essential nutrients from the breakdown of plant and animal residues that fall on or are deposited into the soil. These deposits release plant nutrients that are supportive for the next season's growth and form humus that sustains soil quality. This cycle maintains the soil fertility and increases the crop yields by replenishing the soil's organic matter and nutrients by returning animal and green manures to the soil.

This management practice shows the interrelation between soil and crop as this practice feeds the soil and soil, in turn, feeds the crop. In the case plants need extra nutrition then producers use plant animal and natural mineral-based fertilizers in their field and their use of chemical fertilizers is completely prohibited.

Disease management

The biggest enemy of a healthy plant is a disease that can destroy even a fully grown plant. Disease management has turned out to be very effective in combating various disease, pest, and plague suffered by crops. Researchers discovered this technique when they understood the interaction of pathogens and host which lead to a wide array of measures for the control of specific plant disease.

Nutrient Management

Nutrients are essential for the growth of every individual whether plant, animal, or humans. Nutrient management comes into the picture when existing soil nutrients in the soil cannot produce good crop yields and there is a need for additional nutrients. The key principle behind this management practice is that it balances the soil nutrient inputs with crop requirements. By applying it in proper order at the right time, helps to achieve optimum crop yield.

If we do not apply nutrient management techniques then nutrients might get dissolved in soil water and go into the surface mixing with groundwater through leaching and this can contaminate making it harmful for drinking.

Using all these management techniques helps increase the yield of farms and also increases the profit of farmers. By using them we are preserving our ecosystem for the future generation so that the present generation can gift something good for their children.

Happy farming!
