| Project Detail |
To stop soil erosion and restore their fertility, the project is based on the promotion of the method of direct seeding under vegetal cover (SCV). According to this technique, the earth is covered with mulch "dead cover" or planted with plants (living cover). The farmer does not plow his land but sows directly in the cover. The latter plays a vital role in restoring the environment since it limits erosion and eliminates runoff. Fertility is improved by providing organic matter and vital mineral elements for plants. Crop rotation or the combination of crops (cassava and then corn or legumes) increases the effectiveness of the system by limiting disease and soil conservation. Regarding tea plantations, the project aims to develop specific agro-ecological methods. Several avenues are studied: restoring soil fertility before planting, reducing the use of chemicals, improving the use of manure and compost by developing cover crops under tea plants. In parallel with the experiments, the ADAM project started the training of Vietnamese actors. An engineer from CIRAD (International Center for Agronomic Research for Development, partner of the ADAM project) sensitized local professionals to the SCV. Vietnamese agronomists went on study trips to Cambodia and Madagascar (two countries that have already developed agro-ecological crops). reduce the use of chemicals, improve the use of manure and compost by growing cover crops under tea plants.
