reavaheväetamine

Reavaheväetamine refers to a specific agricultural practice involving the application of fertilizer between rows of crops, particularly in horticulture. This technique is employed to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone of plants, ensuring efficient uptake and minimizing nutrient loss to the surrounding environment. The method is commonly used for row crops such as vegetables, fruits, and some ornamental plants.

The purpose of reavaheväetamine is to supplement the nutrient needs of crops during critical growth stages, especially when the soil's natural nutrient supply may be insufficient. By placing the fertilizer in the inter-row spaces, it is less likely to be washed away by rain or irrigation and is readily accessible to the actively growing roots. This can lead to improved crop yield and quality.

Equipment for reavaheväetamine varies, ranging from simple manual spreaders to more sophisticated mechanical applicators mounted on tractors. The type of fertilizer used can also differ, including granular, liquid, or even organic forms, depending on the crop and soil conditions. Careful consideration is given to the timing and placement of the fertilizer to avoid damaging the plants or creating nutrient imbalances. This practice is a component of integrated nutrient management strategies aimed at optimizing crop nutrition and sustainability.
