Example of Cover Crop – What is Cover Crop

by


Definition:
. “Cover Crops” Referred to crops that are set within the “Crop Top” in order to protect the soil from degradation by weathering and provide organic fertilizers
are also Cover Crops which are set to cover soil during the “Fallow”. Green manures are examples of these crops, which also serve to cover the soil, we incorporate organic matter to the soil, increasing its fertility.

Characteristics of species to establish cover crops:

  • Rapid growth.
  • Little demand for water, large root system. Minimal competition with the crop in terms of water and nutrients.
  • Adaptability to poor soils.
  • Extensive vegetative development, high volume of green biomass, which will cover the largest possible area of ​​land.
  • Appropriate to the climatic characteristics of the region pedo.
  • Resistant to pests and diseases. If established as companion crops, it should be noted than reservoirs pests affecting the main culture.
  • The nitrogen fixing legumes are excellent ground cover crops, pasture species, tubers (potato) and cucurbits are also used.
  • Easy to control, to prevent them from becoming undesirable plants.
  • Should be minimal competition with the main crop.
  • Some crop residues can be used as soil covers.

Effect on the floor:

  • Protect soils degrading action of weathering agents (superficial erosions by runoff, wind erosion, degrading actions by direct solar radiation, etc..
  • It acts as a regulator of water regime of soils, significantly reduce water loss by evaporation in these.
  • It prevents the growth of undesirable plants, adjusts the solar radiation and act on their degradation as herbicides.
  • Improves soil fertility by the input of organic matter and nitrogen and other nutrients.
  • Facilitates the development of micro and macro organisms in the soil which allows improvement of their physical properties, their biological activity.
  • Accelerates the decomposition of organic matter in soils, helping to balance positive nitrogen carbon, raising its humuficación.
  • Promotes positive conditions for the development of macro and micro beneficial organisms that act as natural enemies of pests and other agents that cause various diseases.

Most used in Cuba (citrus crops) Species:
(Taken from the Organic Agriculture Magazine No 1 2008).

Legumes:

  • Clitoria ternatea
  • Guianenses Stylosantehes
  • Arachis pintoi
  • Teramnus lip
  • Alisicarpus vaginalis
  • Canavalia ensiformis
  • Phaseolus lunatus
  • Pubescens
  • Demodium sp
  • Alisicarpus vaginalis

 

Main results in citrus plantations.

  • Decreased density and soil plasticity.
  • Increased porosity, moisture and structural stability coefficient.
  • Increase the infiltration rate.
  • Further development of the root systems of plantations.
  • Increasing values ​​of the chemical properties of the soil (pH, content of MO, P, K)

(Guava plantation development (8 months after planting) in lateritic red soil, cover with shredded cane bagasse)
Combined effect of the action of cover crops with manure application

Practical experiences in our plantations with the combination of solid organic fertilizers: worm castings, compost and cow estiercos dose of 1.0 kg/m2, bio fertilizers: Liquid Humus and compost tea in doses of 100 lt / ha applications monthly. In all cases, the time of application of solid manure, must be matched with the incorporation of green manure to soils. These applications have shown that the combined action of organic fertilizers and bio fertilizers with green manures, increases the efficiency of this practice to accelerate the degradation of these green manure, incorporate Mays amount of nutrients to the soil, significantly increase the biological activity in this , obtaining as final results, increases in production area by 15% higher when compared to controls where only green manures were incorporated.

General results obtained

  • Considerable improvements in the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the soil and hence fertility.
  • Decline in crop cultivation such as weeding ..
  • Decrease by 50% of irrigation.
  • Decreased incidence of pests and diseases.
  • Increased flowering, fruit set and fruit.
  • Most of fruits per plant.
  • Increased yields per area.
  • Higher quality of the fruit.
  • Obtaining additional productions for use as a hedge crop, productive species such as sweet potatoes, squash, beans and beans.
  • More efficient use of soil and water resources.
  • Saving labor and energy carriers.
  • More positive by decreasing expenses and increasing income economic balance.

This study showed the effect not only the use of coriander oil from its seeds, but also suggested as an explanation for acting on the bacteria. The results demonstrate that the use of coriander oil damages the membrane around the bacteria, which disrupts essential processes within bacteria, including breathing thereby causing death.

– Researchers have suggested that the essential oil of coriander can play an important role in medical applications and in the food industry. This is especially true in developing countries where 30% of the population suffers from diseases related to food and water contaminated with bacteria.

– It is estimated that cilantro can be very effective in clinical medicine in the form of lotions, creams, mouthwashes and even pills, to fight infections that misuse of antibiotics have become resistant to them and therefore not can be effectively treated.

How To Write A Manuscript (EDPM) Quick Tip.

by

How to write a manuscript

One of the most frequent questions I get from aspiring is regarding exactly how to write a manuscript. While different companies may have specific publishers for manuscript submission process formats, there is no universal formula for writing. In talking with many of the authors I’ve worked with, others prepare and develop a basic outline of the story within the boundaries of that framework, while others actually write the ending of his books first and work backwards to the beginning. Despite the different approaches to writing a manuscript, there are two key elements that should be concentrated as it begins.

First, it is clear in the world of literature that best works are produced by authors who are knowledgeable in the area they are writing. This does not mean that you need to be a spy before creating a manuscript involves espionage, or you need to be in compliance with the law before writing a mystery novel. It does, however, mean you have to be well documented in the areas in which you choose to write. Editors are invaluable in the process of writing and producing the final manuscript, but do not rely on the editor to do your research for you.Taking the time to research and understand the subject fully involved in their work ultimately produce a higher quality manuscript, and give you much more likely to catch the attention of a publisher.

When I review a manuscript for possible publication in our company, that is, in part, from a marketing perspective. Thus, I can determine if the manuscript is actually written for your target audience. Therefore, the second key element to consider when starting your manuscript is that once you identify your target audience, make sure your writing is kept constant. I have seen numerous manuscripts of books for children who were either too advanced for their age or too simple. Whether picture books, teen books, or books for young adults, it is important to keep your writing consistent with your target audience.

The different approaches used by the authors in the preparation of a manuscript can vary as much as the writings themselves, but the key elements needed to produce a manuscript worthy of publication remain constant. The focus should rather not be in the identification of a specific format for writing the manuscript, but the key elements required to produce the final work.

Strategies of internal growth and external growth

by

Growth is one of the objectives of the business and a way of expressing their success. Companies can grow in two ways: internal and external growth GROWTH.
Known as internal growth of this company is based on productive investments within the company, thus increasing their productive capacity.
We can distinguish:
– Market penetration involves increasing sales of the company in the current market with current products. For example, we sell televisions in Spain and do a promotion to give away a small TV when you buy a large.
– Product development : an improved in markets in which the company is offering this product. For example, TVs with Freeview, hairdryer, etc …
– Market development : This is to introduce our products into new markets. For example, we sell televisions to China, which is a new market where never sold them.
– Diversification : involves selling products or services very different to what is our core business. For example, our company is manufacturing televisions and assemble a chain of bars.
external growth is based on the provision of resources for non-business organizations.

We Can Distinguish:
– Fusion : is the solution of two or more companies and their respective assets to a new company. For example, Iberia and British Air Ways.
– Absorption occurs when a company buys assets of another or others and integrating it into your own. For example, BBVA and Banesto and Vosbagen.
– Participation: is to buy a portion of the shares of another company to influence it. For example, all banks involved in large companies.
– Cooperation : is an agreement between different companies through which they try to join forces and take advantage arising from act together.
A very important form of cooperation are franchises . This contract allows a small business to take advantage of economies of scale in purchasing group, promotion and brand recognition and large group allows you to increase your income without incurring any investment and collection of canons.
