The post-winter period is considered a crucial time to rehabilitate and stimulate agricultural soil by de-compacting and improving porosity to ensure root aeration and facilitate root penetration after heavy rainfall. Studies indicate that adding organic matter fundamentally enhances soil structure, supports microbial life, and stimulates beneficial organisms like earthworms to break down nutrients. Reports confirm that implementing an integrated plan including water drainage and pH testing raises agricultural productivity by up to thirty-five percent.
Planting early cover crops provides real protection for the soil from water erosion and limits the washing away of top layers rich in nutrients, ensuring high productivity and plant protection, based on the Soil Science and Land Management Handbook, FAO reports on post-winter soil rehabilitation and fertility management, and research from the Horticultural and Soil Science Association on microorganisms and organic matter.
