  2. Soil fertility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_fertility

    The quality of irrigation water is very important to maintain soil fertility and tilth, and for using more soil depth by the plants. [26] When soil is irrigated with high alkaline water, unwanted sodium salts build up in the soil which would make soil draining capacity very poor.

  3. Vigna subterranea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigna_subterranea

    Optimal soil depth is between 50 and 100 cm, [11] with a light soil texture. [11] Soil fertility should be low [11] and soil pH is best suited between 5 and 6.5 [11] and should not be lower than 4.3 [11] or higher than 7. [11] Bambara groundnut is tolerant to salinity, but high sodium chloride concentration in the soil will result in yield losses.

  4. Crop yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_yield

    For example, if three grains are harvested for each grain seeded, the resulting multiplication ratio is 1:3, which is considered by some agronomists as the minimum required to sustain human life. [3] One of the three seeds must be set aside for the next planting season, the remaining two either consumed by the grower, or for livestock feed.

  5. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Soil temperature regulates seed germination, [70] breaking of seed dormancy, [71] [72] plant and root growth [73] and the availability of nutrients. [74] Soil temperature has important seasonal, monthly and daily variations, fluctuations in soil temperature being much lower with increasing soil depth. [75]

    The farms produce greenhouse and nursery crops, as well as hay (20,000 tons), dairy produce, potatoes (140,000 cwt), and livestock including cattle (11,000 inc. calves in 2016), reindeer, bison, and yak. [2] Cereals in the state include barley (146,000 bushels) and oats (47,000 bushels). Other livestock include chickens, hogs, and sheep.

  7. Dryland farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryland_farming

    Dryland farming caused a large dust storm in parts of Eastern Washington on October 4, 2009. Courtesy: NASA/GSFC, MODIS Rapid Response [1]. Dryland farming has evolved as a set of techniques and management practices to adapt to limited availability of water, as in the Western US and other regions affected by climate change for crops such as tomato and maize.

  8. Vegetable farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_farming

    Several economic models exist for vegetable farms: A relatively small operation is a market garden while a larger farm may grow large quantities of few vegetables and sell them in bulk to major markets or middlemen, which requires large growing operations. A farm may produce for local customers, which requires a larger distribution effort.

  9. Sowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowing

    Grain drills are most often drawn by tractors, but can also be pulled by horses. Pickup trucks are sometimes used, since little draft is required. A seed rate of about 100 kg of seed per hectare (2 bushels per acre) is typical, though rates vary considerably depending on crop species, soil conditions, and farmer's preference.
