B3 - Progress / Results

This action promotes advising farmers on issues related to fertilization within the Algerri-Balaguer Channel irrigation area. The first task to be carried out deals with an initial diagnosis of the study area by using surveys that will, in turn, meet potential collaborators in the project. Once elected candidates covering 1200 ha, specific surveys will be taken according to obtain useful data to give fertilizer advice.

This data will be probably supplemented by soil and manure analysis, if necessary. As a result of this first approach, a newsletter will be given to each farmer before any fertilization task. More surveys will be done at the end of the project to assess the impact of this technical support along the duration of the project. The evolution of soil elements will also be assessed.
