Spinyard, the home of climate smart agric inputs

-

SPinYaRD investment­s is a leading seedling and seed (Hazera distributo­r) supplier in Zimbabwe and believes in climate smart agricultur­e (cSa) as a lasting solution to ensure food security and surplus for across the border markets under the erratic climatic conditions. We strongly believe that there is no complete cSa without adoption of improved varieties, proper crop fertility programmes and proper crop rotation programmes.

as an entity, we are promoting adoption of seed varieties that offer a wide disease resistance package without compromisi­ng yield and produce quality courtesy of israeli’s Hazera Seeds. We are a proud, confident and reputable supplier of tomato, cucumber, onion, pepper, brassicas among others from Hazera. We are supplying them as both seeds and seedlings.

For maximum crop potential to be realised, we advocate for proper crop fertility. it is of paramount importance to have soils tested and results analysed. a best approach fertility programme is derived from those results ensure the right organic and inorganic fertilizer­s are used. it also determines when to use the granular and foliar fertilizer­s for best results.

crop rotation is vital to break disease cycles. interchang­ing non-related crops reduces the incidence and severity of pests and diseases, as well as certain weed species in a particular piece of land. crop rotation also avoids extraction of same type of nutrients from the soil hence maintainin­g residual crop fertility. The technique when used well also promotes a good soil structure.

Spinyard investment­s vows to keep on pushing and advocating the adoption of good agricultur­al practices so that the country practices cSa as soon as possible.
