Managing the soil moisture regime is a fundamental task in crop production, upon which crop productivity and the efficiency of nutrient uptake directly depend. Proper organization of irrigation not only maintains optimal plant turgor but also creates conditions for active root system growth, as well as proper interaction with applied fertilizers and plant protection products. Understanding the physico-chemical processes occurring during soil moistening is essential for every agronomist and gardener to minimize the risks of pathogen development and ensure plants have access to nutrients at all stages of the growing season.
This selection of materials is dedicated to issues of a comprehensive approach to plant care in combination with irrigation. Readers will find information on the application of biological methods for pest and disease control in greenhouses, including the use of entomophages. In addition, the articles contain detailed recommendations on the use of modern mineral fertilizers, such as "Albatros" and "Agrovitakva AVA," as well as detailed instructions for the application of the preparation "Narcissus." Studying the presented materials will help optimize the crop nutrition and protection system, based on the regulations for using specialized compositions and the principles of biological safety in protected soil.
