Field visit - monitoring

Forest restoration is strong and many seedlings species could be seen in the planting lines.

On the agroforestry system, during our last monitoring visit we could see the el niño and dry season effects on some individuals. Soil coverage and green manure leguminous did well their work supporting the seedling's development on this extreme sandy soils.

A new harvest is there for green manure seeds that have a great market value.

So it's time to harvest and replant green manuere, undertake replacement plantings and reinforce irrigation to wait for the next rains.
All that should happen to prepare for more demanding species of fruit trees that are planned for the area.
