Crop Management
Crop management is the foundation of successful farming. Choose drought-tolerant seeds like Longe 10H maize, plant early (March), and intercrop with beans to improve soil fertility. Rotate crops each season to prevent pests and diseases. Mulch with dry grass to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Use weather alerts to plan your planting and avoid floods. With these practices, you can increase yields by 20% and reduce losses by 10%.
Soil & Water
Healthy soil and water are the backbone of agriculture. Use cover crops and compost to enrich soil. Build terraces and plant grass strips to prevent erosion and landslides. Harvest rainwater in tanks (500L) for dry seasons. Mulch fields to save 20% water. These methods boost yields and protect your land for future generations.
