Useful nuggets there.
How to reduce crop water requirements during dry spell induced drought stress. 🌱
1/4 ⛔Avoid the application of nitrate based fertilizers!
🤔WHY?
⬆️Absorption of nitrate greatly increases water requirements for nitrate metabolism and hydration.

Thank you. We do not have a known formula but products by @1Humuson have been helpful. Our area is rarely hit by frost though neighbouring Farmers have been hit by frost for the past two years.

One of the big mistakes that farmers make is never to taste nutrients in their crops like tomatoes and they just follow some random PDF program and pump nitrates into their tomatoes. Hie Nitrates reduce shelf life of the fruit. Don’t always load Ammonium Nitrate in crops like tomatoes and peppers, you will have a lot of returns from shops. One of my tomatoes is now on 73 days sitting on the counter and it’s still intact. Because we managed our nitrates

Since 1900, we've lost 75% of our global food crop varieties—the most rapid extinction of agricultural genetics in human history
Meanwhile, the US lost 93% of vegetable varieties between 1903-1983
This is one the greatest threats to agriculture and is rarely talked about 🧵

Soil microbes don’t just coexist—they communicate
Through quorum sensing, bacteria and fungi synchronize, turning collective actions on or off depending on population density
This hidden system drives nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and drought resilience

The HDC is deeply concerned over the RBZ’s decision to reduce the forex retention threshold for exporters.
This move tightens cash flow for the sector, which relies on USD for essential inputs.

Can a single herbal mixture cure multiple sickness? Yes of course.
Moringa alone has been clinically proven to cure over 300 diseases. Cannabis and garlic can treat over 200 diseases. Why? Let me explain.
Plants have varied or numerous bioactive ingredients called phytochemicals present in them. These natural chemicals exist in harmony with each other.
When a plant is ingested, this natural chemicals travel to their respective target areas or bind to a receptor in the body to elicit a therapeutic effect.
So when an individual takes for example moringa to treat migraine, due to these numerous bioactive compounds, the moringa leaves will treat the migraine, boost immunity and if there are possible cases of peptic ulcer or infections, the plant will treat it also.
That's how God in his wisdom designed plants.

This former conventional coffee farm was completely reliant on ever-increasing applications of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and an aggressive rotation of fungicides just to break even in a good year.
After a comprehensive and holistic transition, it has become one of the best examples of regenerative agriculture in the context of coffee—not to mention its breathtaking beauty.
Here are a few highlights:
–Synthetic NPK was phased out completely, with no drop in yield and a dramatic increase in quality.
–Fungicides have been replaced with biological controls and nutrition to manage coffee leaf rust, which now has an incidence rate below 1% across the farm. Previously, it was as high as 40% annually while using more than five types of chemical fungicides.
–The soil is now covered with a diverse perennial cover that enriches the soil microbiome, retains more water, increases nutrient cycling, and eliminates the need for herbicides.
–The farm now produces prized hardwoods, unique spices, cacao, and a variety of fruits, along with its award-winning coffee. This has garnered support from long-term buyers and roasters who recognize the farm's immense value to the coffee world.
