AFTER THE RAINS OF LAST WEEK, THE EARTH IS STILL EXTENDUATE OF WATER.

This is the less friendly side of precipitation. The overflowing of the dams with the consequent reserve of water for years has produced great satisfaction in the village primary sector. However, Excess humidity is generating the appearance of fungi in crops, harming its growth.

The fear of the technicians is being translated into facts. Abundant water has caused mildew and botrytis to begin to affect not only export crops, but also to those of the internal market.

Despite the high temperatures for the time of year and the arrival of haze last weekend, It has not been possible to mitigate the effects of this condition on the crops that, to be persistent, can cause serious damage at a time when the harvest is reaching its halfway point..

Technicians recommend thinning and allowing ventilation as well as the application of sulfur. The application of cultural tasks is essential to avoid delay in plants.

However, The rain has produced a spectacular change in the physiognomy of the landscape, leaving authentic postcards in ravines, barranquillos and caideros.

From the queries made by Agroaldea both to the cooperative, like the SAT's and the City Council, a demand for planting crops in line with the water reserve has not yet emerged, fundamental in the cost of production inputs.

The crops that are abundant are those for complementary income and some extra plots that are destined for the internal market..
