The National Chamber of Agriculture is launching a series of national events on agricultural practices related to the preservation of water in the landscape. The “Changing climate, adaptive soil and water management!” performances will take place in six locations in the first half of February.

Climatic extremes affect an increasingly wide range of producers, thus endangering domestic food production, one of the most important basic conditions of which is the creation of water security in the production area. However, the solution to this problem goes beyond irrigation. Based on the current trends, precipitation conditions will become more and more extreme in our country, drought periods may become more frequent, and large amounts of sudden rainfall can be expected, the rapid flow of excess water cannot allow it to seep into the soil, so it is not utilized sufficiently. Because of this, the soils can become increasingly dry, which can partly lead to a deterioration of the soil structure and soil life, and the soil without structure can be more easily blown away by the wind, and the humus content of the soils can “burn out” under the influence of high temperatures and radiation, reducing their fertility. In arable crop production, it is not only a question of yield surplus, but of yield security as well as the provision of adequate water supply, the creation and maintenance of a homogeneous plant population. Farmers can also do a lot to conserve moisture with mulching, level cultivation, loosening and other agrotechnical solutions.

In order to conserve water, water must be channeled into the landscape, and in low-lying areas, it must be retained for as long as possible

Keeping water in the landscape is an essential task, which can not only ensure the water demand of the growing area, but also greatly contributes to the creation of optimal climatic conditions of the soil, air and region. The National Chamber of Agrarian Economy (NAK) considers the development of appropriate soil and water management, as well as the development of irrigation, the widest possible dissemination of the practices necessary to maintain water in the landscape. To this end, in the first week of February, “Changing climate, adaptive soil and water management!” NAK is holding a professional event at six locations across the country.
