Breve descrição da melhor prática

during the drought season, crops and vegetables require water and soil moisture.  Drip irrigation, vegetable mulge and screen technologies provide sufficient water and soil moiture throughout the year for crops and vegetables.  its simple and effective where production improved a lot.  |

Com base em quais critérios e/ou indicadores (não relacionados com a Estratégia) a prática proposta e a tecnologia correspondente foram considerados como "melhores"?

production improved during drought season which is unusual.

Principais problemas abordados pelas melhores práticas

Crops and vegetable poor growth and production during drought season.  

Esboçar problemas específicos de degradação do solo abordados pelas melhores práticas

Water resources scarcity and long drought season.  Vegetables require water to grow and bucket irrigation system provide sufficient water for plants to grow and production improve.

Especificar os objetivos das melhores práticas

To improve crops and vegetables production during the drought season

Drip irrigation - bucket water with necessary pipes are extended to crops and vegetables to keep them access to moisture soil.  Drip irrigation technology, to supplement the rainfall in ensuring un-interrupted optimum soil moisture conditions. |

Breve descrição e especificações técnicas da tecnologia

To promote favourable growing conditions against the hot humid climate of this period, the use of the vegetative mulch, screen house and drip irrigation technologies are highly recommended for the production of the off-season vegetables.
• Vegetative Mulch technology: reduce the soil temperature (carrots, Irish potatoes, etc.), conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• The screen technology: reduces the amount of direct sunlight necessary for the initial growth transplanted seedlings of the vegetables; enhance the fruit-set of tomatoes, capsicum, etc.,  by reducing the impact of the rainfall
• Drip irrigation technology, to supplement the rainfall in ensuring un-interrupted optimum soil moisture conditions.
Both technologies are recommended for the production of vegetable during the December to May period

Sim

Por meio de quê?

• Abordagens participativas

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

simple and efficiency.  not high tech but user friendly and everyone could use.
improve and more revenue collected.  community access to vegetables all year including cultural function. decrease import of vegetables from overseas.
improve production all year round.

Descreva os dois principais impactos fora do local (isto é, não ocorrendo no local, mas nas áreas circunvizinhas)

same as the onsite as technology have been transfered to nearby site

Impacto sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

maintain biodiversity from threaten and also contribute as an adaptation option especially with crops affected as impact of climate change.  less ans less rainfall in the future so the introduction of such technologies will help crops withstand
