Agricultural Farm
Agricultural farm involves cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock. It also includes preparing plant and animal products and distributing them to markets.
Market Needs
Agricultural farming encounters various kinds of challenges in order to ensure maximum yields.
Environment conditions, such as soil quality for crops and water quality for aquaculture ponds, are critical to a successful farm. Acidic soil is toxic to crops and can cause acidic pond water, which is also harmful to shrimp and fish.
Solutions
Limestone
- Raise pH level, which lowers the acidity of soil and improves the quality of pond water
- Contain natural nutrients that promote healthy plant growth
Quicklime / Hydrated Lime
- It can be applied to the bottoms of empty ponds to neutralize bottom soil acidity
- It can be applied to shrimp ponds to regulate phytoplankton abundance and aid the removal of phosphate and carbon dioxide from pond water
