Plantae participates in the conference on pistachio cultivation in Extremadura with a talk on "optimizing and saving irrigation water."
The conference will be held at the San Bernardo cinema theater (Berlanga).
ON THE CULTIVATION OF PISTACHIO AS AN ALTERNATIVE IN THE SOUTH OF EXTREMADURA
The cultivation of pistachio in Extremadura adapts very well to a Mediterranean climate with cold winters and warm, dry summers. Extreme temperatures in winter are beneficial for the induction of flowering and fruiting of pistachios.
MANAGEMENT OF VEGETABLE COVERS (ECO-REGIMES)
The use of mulches in pistachio cultivation is a sustainable agricultural practice that can offer several benefits. These mulches consist of planting crops or vegetation on the ground, shredded pruning remains around the pistachio trees, all instead of leaving the soil bare.
This should be done when the trees reach their development. In the first years of formation, it is more advisable to plow the land to remove weeds so that the tree can develop and take root.
OPTIMIZATION AND SAVING OF IRRIGATION WATER.
Optimizing and saving irrigation water in pistachio cultivation is essential for its development and environmental sustainability, as well as for the economic profitability of the farm.
Un riego controlado con sensores y otros dispositivos, hace que la producción aumente en calidad y cantidad y ahorremos agua y energía. Interviene el CEO de Plantae, Samuel López.

FERTILIZATION
Fertilizing pistachio, with compost and natural products, is a fundamental part of the management of this crop to guarantee healthy growth and optimal production.
MONITORING OF THE NEW CAP
Teaching farmers to manage data digitally is very important for decision making.
Pistachio cultivation
In Spain, the cultivation of pistachio is spreading more and more, because many regions adapt to both terrain and climate, in cold hours and hot hours. Late frost areas must be taken into account, as we can see in the article that we already published a long time ago: «Pistachio in Spain, varieties and care«.
El cultivo del pistacho requiere conocimientos de manejo de los árboles y de poda, porque la distribución de los machos, las distancias entre los árboles y todo el manejo agronómico influyen en su polinización y en la abundancia de cosecha, como podemos ver en el artículo «Pollination in the pistachio and characteristics of its flowers«.
Plantae products to optimize pistachio cultivation in Extremadura
Monitoring the pistachio crop is an essential task to obtain a good plantation and a good harvest.
Plantae offers the possibility of controlling soil humidity, salinity and root temperature with wireless sensors.
Additionally, with the meteo station you can measure the temperature environment, relative humidity, wind intensity, essential during the pollination season, and irrigation flow.
