Importance of rainwater for plants.

in #farms5 years ago

For many people, the rains mean problems in our day to day, since it makes it difficult for us to go to work, play sports, take children to school, etc., while for plants and animals it is a blessing. This water is very good for plants as it helps plants grow healthy and strong, but too much water can flood crops, especially if you do not have a good drainage system in the soil.

Irrigation is one of the main care we give our plants, we can irrigate them with hose, with sprinkler, etc., however the most natural way to do it is through rain. Rainwater is ideal for any plant especially for large-leaved plants, carnivorous plants and turf, also for plants that need acidic soil and for epiphytes such as bromeliads and orchids.

In the case of agriculture, the storage of rainwater can save entire crops and even increase its production considerably if effective methods are applied so that it can be used when rains are scarce.

This water has many advantages for plants, among the most important we have:

  1. The rainwater does not contain chlorine, while the tap water contains chlorine and lime, which are detrimental to the proper growth of our plants.

  2. When the drops fall on the leaves, they clean it, eliminating the accumulated dust during the hottest and driest days.

  3. When it rains for a long time, the water seeps deep into the earth, dragging with it the nutrients found in the most superficial areas of the land to bring it closer to the deepest roots.

  4. The rainy season is ideal for planting new lawn, that way you will save money, time and the work that involves watering it every day.

The rainwater is totally clean and pure, which makes it highly beneficial for plants.

The benefits of rain to our plants can not be overemphasis, without rain our plant will not grow and reproduce.... thanks for sharing you thought on this.
