Les études du sol, une passion Les passionnés d’agriculture régénérative sont d’habitude des amoureux du sol, de même que les amoureux du sol font d’excellents praticiens de l’agriculture régénérative. Lorsque nous avons lancé le recrutement des stagiaire professionnels cette année, nous étions à la recherche d’une personne qui ait cette passion en elle et nous avons eu la chance de la trouver chez Mel Krystel Joyce NLENDE EPANE. Dipl?mée en agronomie et en sciences du sol, elle est affectée au département d’agronomie ou elle s’occupe des études du sol, de compostage et des biofertilisants. Elles dispose d’aptitude particulières dans ces domaines, et elle disserte aisément sur les concepts qui y sont liés. à ce propos elle nous dit que ses centre d’intérêt en agriculture sont les cultures à court terme mais aussi la bonne gestion des sols sous des cultures à long terme. ? Parlant de l’agriculture régénérative, dit-elle, ce qui m’intéresse le plus c’est la fabrication du compost et produits phytosanitaires à base d’essences naturelles. En plus, il y a la diversité culturale mise en place sur le site de la TARTS qui permet d’apprécier le développement des plantes et fourrages en association ?. Durant cette période de stage professionnel, elle fait une ? étude comparative de l’effet du rabbit fertilizer et de l’extrait de compost sur la microbiologie du sol sous culture associée de daikon radish et soja ?… intéressant, n’est-ce pas ? _ _ _ _ Soil studies, a passion Regenerative agriculture enthusiasts are usually soil lovers, just as soil lovers make excellent regenerative agriculture practitioners. When we launched our recruitment of professional interns this year, we were looking for someone who had this passion inside them, and we were lucky enough to find her in Mel Krystel Joyce NLENDE EPANE. A graduate in agronomy and soil science, she is assigned to the agronomy department, where she works on soil studies, composting and biofertilizers. She has a particular aptitude for these fields, and is at ease discussing related concepts. On this subject, she tells us that her main interests in agriculture are short-term crops, but also good soil management under long-term crops. Speaking of regenerative agriculture,” she says, ”what interests me most is the manufacture of compost and phytosanitary products based on natural essences. What's more, the diversity of crops grown on the TARTS site allows me to appreciate the development of plants and forages in association. During this period of professional training, she carried out a “Comparative study of the effect of rabbit fertilizer and compost extract on soil microbiology under associated cultivation of radish daikon and soybean”... interesting, isn't it? #AgricultureRegenerative #RegenerativeAgriculture #DeveloppementCommunautaire #PADK2024 #StageProfessionnel #ProfessionalInternship #CommunityDevelopment #SocialDevelopment #DeveloppementSocial #CameroonAgriculture #Ngotto Microbiometer

?? I've been refining my worm castings recipe, and I couldn't be happier with the results! ?? ?? This before-and-after test with the Microbiometer shows a significant increase in microbial biomass in my castings. They’re teaming with beneficial life and ready to give your plants a boost! ?? Wondering when to apply castings? ?? The answer is anytime and as often as you can! Now’s a great time to add these nutrient-packed castings to your yard, garden, planters, trees or anywhere with roots in the ground. And don’t forget about your indoor plants—they love microbes too! ?????? #WormCastings #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAg #HappyPlants #LivingSoil #CompostTea #HealthySoil #Microbiometer #microbes

If you can't measure it you can't manage it. BioHub Endo-4 was applied to this lucerne paddock but the grower was not sure whether it went out properly due to some challenges with the irrigation system. We took multiple samples and compared them with a control area using a Microbiometer kit. Fungi levels were up 260% and total biomass by 140%. Pretty happy with the results and will continue to monitor the crop. #measuremeasuremeasure #bioplan #biohubendo4

?? Soil organisms play crucial roles in providing food, fiber, and supporting both human and planetary health. Did you know that soil is home to two-thirds of life on Earth? Recent research reveals that soil is home to 59% of the planet's biodiversity, including everything from microbes to mammals, making it the most biodiverse habitat on Earth. This includes 85% of plants, 90% of fungi, over 50% of bacteria, and 20% of worms and mollusks. Previously, soil was believed to contain just 25% of all species. This new study more than doubles that estimate, highlighting soil as the most diverse habitat on Earth. Soil is essential for 95% of the food we consume. However, one-third of the world's soil is degraded due to overgrazing, monoculture, and the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. This degradation hinders the soil's ability to support plants and animals, reducing the quality and quantity of our crops. In addition, healthy soil plays a crucial role in our ecosystem. It filters water, removes pollutants and harmful microorganisms, helps prevent flooding, and serves as the planet's second-largest carbon sink after the oceans, aiding climate regulation. Maintaining soil health requires sustainable farming practices, such as no-till machinery that minimizes soil disruption and advanced soil monitoring technologies like microbiometers. Trees also play a vital role in soil health by reducing erosion, providing shade, and enriching the soil with nutrients through their roots.
