Workshop on best practices: Environmental protection in cultivation by Teija Rantala https://padlet.com/tj_rantala/di0sjj674c5g en-us 2018-02-27 05:51:00 UTC 2025-05-28 09:39:58 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. Nutrient losses to the waterbodies (Online group) https://padlet.com/tj_rantala/di0sjj674c5g/wish/235741144
- safety area in field
- put sludge under the cover of the field
- dry manure have to harrow inside 24 hours 
-  leave plants to the field for winter: reduces drainage 
- remember weather, when you are working in the field
- field growth
- field water management
- crop rotation
- wetlands

  • Catch crops
  • supporting organic matter through fibre
  • winter plants
  • soil should be covered all the time
  • Crop rotation
  • No Monoculture
  • Careful soil cultivation
  • only fertilize if needed
  • fertilize on the right time

  • IPM = Integrated pest management
  • Organic farming 
  • Crop rotation 
         -mixed crops
  • Right timing in use of pesticides
    and fertilizers

    • Using of fixatives 
    • Mechanic weed control
    • Use of protective equipment at work
    • Spray only when the weather condition are good

    • Use of the correct chemicals
    • Follow the environmental-regulations
    • Use farm tools correctly, keep good care of example sprayer 
    • Use the correct spray nozzle

    - use of on land plough/ cultivator
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbG86dnJ9Y4
     
    - these machines are used all over the world, it will be a big point in future 
    - preventive: use of light machines with big/wide tires 

    - crop rotation (deep-root plants)
    - irrigation systems 


    - take care about the weather, don´t drive when it is very moisture
    - only drive when you have to
    - use of beneficial insects/worms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMghYozrkCQ

    There is a list for extinct or nearly extinct species since 2006.
    100 MIO tonnes of aquatic organisms (fish, shellfish) are caught annually.
    Less drinking water, due to less self-cleaning power of the water
    Less natural soil fertility (incomplete nutrient cycle)
    Less bees = Less fruit
