Steps to the Perfect Crop Production

- Water management; sufficient water amount during the growth stages in which water is the most crucial to achieve planned yield
- Cropping system management; agro-forestry system integrates, on the same farmland, crops and trees together for farming, producing fruit and raising livestock
- Fertilization; regular addition of manure and other biological fertilizers to enhance soil matter; adding of plant nutrients (N, P, K and micro-nutrients) according to crop needs and phenophases
- Planting/sowing; sowing of certified seeds, resistant varieties and proper planting time and care
- Crop maintenance; regular maintenance of plant and row space in orchard or weed cultivation in the fields of vegetables and arable crops
- Protection management; on-time insect pest, disease and weed protection with biological, mechanical or chemical products
- Harvesting; harvesting of fruits in physiological and technological maturity with proper fruit handling; care should be taken on waiting period after pesticide treatment
- Storage; fruits must be stored in adequate temperature, humidity, and space conditions.
