Which seeds does the farmer plant in April?
April marks the beginning of intensive field work for farmers. Temperatures rise, the days get longer and nature awakens from its winter sleep. This is the ideal time to plant the first seeds in the ground. The main crops on the programme this month are cereals, potatoes, beet and maize.
Cereals such as wheat and barley are often sown in March, but in April the young plants are reseeded and tended. Farmers make sure that the soil is well prepared to create optimal growing conditions.
Potatoes are another important vegetable that is planted in April. These are usually planted in the ground from mid-April. Choosing the right time is crucial, as potatoes need a frost-free period in order to thrive.
With beetroot in particular, every day counts. The beet pills need to be in the ground as early as possible to make the most of the entire growing season. The earlier they are sown, the better they can develop and absorb the nutrients in the soil.
Maize is also sown in April, with temperatures playing an important role. The soil should have reached a certain temperature so that the maize grains can germinate. In many regions, corn is therefore only planted towards the end of the month.
In the coming weeks, farmers will spend a lot of time in the fields tending to the plants, weeding and making sure that everything is growing well. April is therefore a crucial month for agriculture, laying the foundations for a successful harvest.
With Humintech products, the right care and the right weather, farmers can hope for a rich harvest that will not only supply their farms, but also the regional markets."
