Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span><\/a>This information was published on the University of Cape Verde (Uni-CV) page, which highlighted the study, published in the Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental Research (BJAER), covering sustainable agricultural practices in Cape Verde.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study, headed by Professors Erik Sequeira and Vladmir Silves Ferreira (both from Uni-CV) and Isaurinda Baptista (from UTA), focused on evaluating the impact of reducing irrigation in combination with the application of optimal levels of nitrogen in tomato productivity\u201d, he highlighted.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned investigation, added the university, was conducted in three different municipalities on Santiago Island \u2013 Sa\u0303o Domingos, Sa\u0303o Lourenc\u0327o dos O\u0301rga\u0303os and Santa Cruz \u2013 and aimed to explore how variations in irrigation and nitrogen fertilization influence the production of this essential crop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results indicate that reducing the amount of irrigation water by 25 percent (%), combined with fertilization of 80 kilos of nitrogen per hectare, does not compromise tomato production. Rather, it enhances the efficiency in the use of water and the tomatoes produced\u201d, he informed.<\/p>\n

According to the same source, this research is of \u201cparticular relevance in the context of Cape Verde, where water scarcity represents a significant challenge, putting pressure on traditional agricultural practices\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study proposes a sustainable alternative that can mitigate the costs associated with the production and consumption of water, encouraging the adoption of more efficient irrigation methods by local farmers\u201d, he describes adding that the investigation also observed the openness of farmers to integrate new irrigation practices, despite limited experience with alternative methods and the reduced impact of water consumption on production costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was concluded that efficient water management, combined with adequate fertilization, represents both a viable and beneficial approach to the sustainability of Cape Verdean agriculture\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

However, he noted, the study recommends further investigations to confirm these promising results and expand knowledge about effective irrigation practices.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental Research (BJAER) emerged with the perception of some Brazilian professors that research related to the areas of animal and environmental science requires more means of disseminating scientific research.<\/p>\n

This is a quarterly publication whose objective is to disseminate knowledge through the publication of scientific articles, which present original contributions, both empirical and theoretical in nature.<\/p>\n
