Facilities for strawberries and green peppers soil 'on-site diagnosis and treatment'... production volume increased significantly

Before cultivating strawberries and green peppers in facilities, measuring the plowing depth and analyzing the nutrients in the soil, and then prescribing based on the results, it was confirmed that the production increased significantly. The National Institute of Agricultural Science announced that it has established a "field diagnosis and prescription method" to prevent the decrease in crop weight, quality, and soil health due to nutrient accumulation in the soil of winter strawberry and green pepper facility cultivation sites. The field diagnosis and prescription method is a technology that measures the plowing depth before crop cultivation and analyzes the water-soluble components of the soil during the cultivation period to prescribe nutrients. This technology involves measuring the plowing depth with a probe before plowing the soil to ensure that the plowing depth is at least 35 to 40 cm, and if it is shallower, it is recommended to plow deeper. This is because the crop ...
