Commitment to Sustainability

From Aapresid, we promote the no-tillage system based on ZERO TILLAGE as a basic practice, but which must necessarily be accompanied by other practices to evolve from simplified systems to complex systems, and thus manage to promote systems that emulate natural ecosystems. What are these pillars?

No-Tillage System

No-tillage is a technique that allows cultivation without tillage and is the form of production that we promote from Aapresid as agricultural producers.

However, tillage agriculture is still the most widely used model for food production in the world.

Live soils all year round

Ensuring that our lots have crops or are covered throughout the year.

The permanent interaction of soil organisms with plants and their roots must be continuous in order to enhance the biological activity of the soil and the processes it regulates, as well as to maximize the use of available resources.

It reduces soil erosion and improves water productivity.

Different landscapes

Planning sequences knowing each environment, objective and how to enhance synergies, alternating different functional groups and using service crops as strategic allies.

This allows us to improve productivity, ensure a 'balanced diet' for soil organisms and guarantee the stability and resilience of our nonrenewable resource: the soil.

Ecological Nutrient Management

Performing comprehensive fertility diagnosis.

It is necessary to know the physical health of our soils. If the structure is deficient, the plant will not be able to take advantage of the nutrients applied.

We must adopt a balanced nutrition approach: i.e. take into account the use of all available nutrient sources (crop residues, SC, biological inputs, fertilizers, mineral fertilizers, etc.).

New technologies are strategic allies of integrated management.

Ecological Pest Management

We must monitor our lots to identify and classify pests

Use of agronomic practices: crop rotation, use of SC, choice of genetics, FS, density, etc. to control them.

Promotion of biological control is needed: biodiversity strips and crop rotation.

Correct use of chemical tools: rotation of active ingredients, use of shelters, optimal quality and timing of application.

Technology Application and Use

The application of new technologies is necessary, such as management by environments, AI, new molecules, selective applications of inputs, biotechnologies. Technology is a fundamental ally for efficient and sustainable production.
