INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE HORTICULTURE

Influence of Temperature Horticulture

Horticultura Influencia de la temperatura

It is one of the factors that indisputably the most influence on the plants, as it determines, in most
cases, the germination of seeds and the favorable growth period of the specimens.

The cold represents the main inhibitor in development of vegetables, which is why frost is dreaded by gardeners because they are able to wipe out an entire plantation in a single day.
The periods of highest risk are located at the end of autumn, during the winter and early spring.
However, some vegetables need to give adequate cold products, such as Brussels sprouts, Broccoli or Leeks.

At the other extreme are the high grueling summer temperatures that damage to certain delicate vegetables. They are must be grown in cooler areas of the garden, even under the shade of a tree or other vegetable larger.
Problems arise because the plant is not able to withstand dehydration and in some cases, premature rise of the flower is very common consequence resulting from leafy vegetables.

• Vegetable crops in summer: Bush Beans, Corn, Cucumbers, Okra, Eggplant, Peppers, etc.
• Vegetable crops in winter: Broad Beans,Asparagus, Peas, garlic, onions, shallots, Spinach, etc

VEGETABLES AS SOIL PH

Vegetables as soil PH

(Hortalizas según el PH del suelo)

• Basic supporting vegetables PH 

Chinese cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage

• PH bearing vegetable acids 

Eggplant, onions, potato 

• Vegetables for Ph intermediate 

 Swiss chard, artichokes, celery, broccoli, zucchini, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, endive,
Asparagus, Spinach, Peas, Fava Bean, Fennel, Green beans, lettuce, sweet corn, melon, turnip,
Cucumber, parsley, leek, beet, tomato, carrot.

 The PH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, is indicated by a number ranging
from 0, which is minimal and represents the highest degree of acidity and the value is 14 for
alaclinidad. is taken as PH 7 which corresponds to the neutral. It should be added
in horticulture values ​​are not handled ends, since plants do not grow below a PH 3.5 or above a PH of 8.5. It is estimated that a breeding ground of good features is one with a PH of around 6.5

ECOLOGICAL GARDEN SOILS

The Ecological Garden Soils 

(El Huerto Ecológico Suelos)

When you start growing in our organic garden, we must have

into consideration the type of soil you have, as it will be possible to grow vegetables

we want.

Recognizing the soil to the naked eye is precise possess certain knowledge that only experience
provided, but knowing some specific characteristics that define the ground, as can be
the predominant rocks of the area or the typical soil type wild plants and supplements
a PH measuring device we can see the degree of alkalinity or acidity, problem is solved.
Reference is also essential to the texture type and degree of soil compaction,
and we can check with the use of the hoe. If we find fine textures, and loamy soils 
or otherwise, thicker or thinner depending on the size of the grain of sand or gravel presence
and large stones. The larger the size of the stones, the less soil quality  for planting.

In summary, the floor recognition passes, first, by differentiating the type of rocks
characterized the region. If the landscape dominated by granite, slate or volcanic rock, the degree
acidity will be higher.
If rocks are limestone or gypsum, found the opposite case of basic pH, as it contributes significantly
to increase the alkalinity of the substrate.
Let's support always the predominant natural vegetation, as there are of each soil type plants.
An example is Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), is typical of basic or alkaline substrates.
