How Farmers Can Improve Crop Yield
Farmers can use agronomy and modern farming techniques for yield optimization of their crops. Intercropping methods help maintain soil health and reduce the detrimental effects of monoculture.
By improving microclimate and photosynthetic efficiency, it's possible to enhance crop quality. However, applying sustainable agriculture is essential to eliminate nutrient deficiency and maintain soil fertility.
Additionally, creating a good environment for crops is necessary to manage transpiration and remove pollutants. By avoiding overexploitation and focusing on rejuvenation and soil fallow conditions, farmers can achieve more effective yields.
Using more biodegradable materials and controlling zooplankton can make agricultural production environment-friendly, which will increase vitality.
