Maximum Yield Potential in the Context of Sustainability. Is it Compatible?
Abstract:
Farmers increasingly learn to use less and less mineral fertilizers, pesticides and reduce the number of driving through the field, etc. Is it possible to farm sustainably and get high yields? To answer this question, it needed to know the main features of sustainable farming and what determines a high yield. Firstly, the key features of sustainable farming are compliance with the norms of nutritional elements (N, P, and K). Secondly, a 50 percent reduction of the pesticides. The key factors of high yield are: 1. Crop rotation. It should include as many plants as possible. 2. Selection of stable plant varieties. Stable varieties that have been in the market for many years and have been grown under various conditions should be selected. The selection of varieties is large; therefore, only certified seeds should be chosen. 3. Selection of eff active products. Not all products provide a yield supplement. Different products should be tried and find the ones that are useful. 4. Algorithms for different crop technologies. It is very important to apply diff event technologies algorithms in various crops based on the needs. 5. Smart solutions in adapting to the changing nature. Nature changes and changes the way crops are growing. Smart solutions are those that are made after evaluating a lot on information based on nature changes. Maximizing yield is compatible with sustainable farming, only the main goals mentioned above need to be implemented.
