Introducción a la Ciencia del suelo de ECHO Asia 2020

Esta capacitación de 4 partes proporciona una amplia descripción e introducción a algunas características básicas del suelo: fases (sólida, líquida, gaseosa), textura, densidad, estructura, reacción (pH), relaciones planta-agua, materia orgánica, biología y nutrientes.

Después de algunas charlas en el aula, nos dirigimos a la Granja ECHO, donde observamos los perfiles del suelo con diferentes horizontes del mismo para señalar las diferencias de textura, color, densidad y estructura. Los participantes practicaron la determinación de la textura del suelo mediante el tacto.

Un agradecimiento especial al Dr. Landon Darilek por realizar estas presentaciones en el ECHO Asia Small Farm Resource Center en Chiang Mai, Tailandia, de junio a septiembre de 2020.

Además de los recursos que se encuentran aquí, Landon recomienda los siguientes recursos como muy útiles para este tema:
