How to manage soil health in polyhouses

How to manage soil health in polyhouses
  • Different types of fertilizers are used continuously throughout the year in poly houses / greenhouses.

  • For this reason, the health of the polyhouse soil starts to deteriorate within 3-4 years. Despite good seeds, proper nutrients and all precautions, there can be a huge decrease in the yield and quality of the crop.

  • Therefore, it is necessary that in order to do scientific farming, farmers should constantly examine the health of the soil and maintain complete information about it.

  • Correct sampling is very important for soil testing.

  • The sample is taken from different locations inside the polyhouse/greenhouse. Then it is mixed well and divided into four parts.

  • Repeat this process until the remaining sample weighs half a kilogram.

  • The samples obtained in this way are sent to the testing center. And according to the report farm fertilizer is used.

How to manage acidic land

How to manage acidic land
  • If the soil pH is below 6.5, then this type of soil is called acidic soil.

  • In highly acidic soil, only acid-resistant crops can be planted

  • In the case of more acidic soil, it is necessary to adopt the method of liming.

  • Liming increases base saturation and availability of calcium and magnesium.

  • The stabilization of phosphorus (P) and molybdenum (Mo) can inactivate reactive components.

  • Liming induces the action of micro-organisms and increases nitrogen fixation and nitrogen mineralization. In this way, leguminous crops benefit greatly from liming.
