Study Notes
Solar Radiation in Agronomy
- Solar radiation is the primary energy source for all life, directly or indirectly affecting all plants.
- Optimal light intensity, quality, and duration are crucial for plant development, with insufficient light causing abnormalities.
- Light is essential for photosynthesis.
- Temperature, a measure of molecular speed, impacts plant distribution and growth, development, and flowering.
- Wind transports heat (sensible and latent), provides moisture, distributes seeds, and prevents frost damage.
No-Dig Technique
- Utilized in lands with poor nutrients, extreme weather (frost, aridity), crowded areas (like forests), and abandoned lands.
- Advantages include space-saving, land reclamation, and high-quality, high-yield crops.
No-Dig Technique Steps
- Preparation: Level the land.
- Measurement: Determine the plot dimensions.
- Soil Improvement: Use a broadfork.
- Mulching: Lay down cardboard, strings, and compost.
- Moisture Management: Utilize wood ash.
- Soil Compaction: Employ a bed roller.
- Planting: Sow seeds.
