Various are the methods that lead to the successful transformation of a plant. Through the use of the lunar calendar, perfect harvests and unbeatable sowings can be obtained, that is, everything a good farmer expects.
From ancient ages it has become common practices to observe the sun, the moon and other stars in order to benefit agriculture. This visualization, together with experience, were the origin of popular knowledge in this area, passing from generation to generation, although in current practice these methods have been lost.
The lunar calendar and its influence on sowing.
Specifically, biodynamic agriculture seeks to remember that ancient link that exists between the energies of the earth and the sky. One product that will benefit us is the biodynamic lunar calendar, which will provide us with information on the best times for various agricultural tasks, based mainly on the phases of the moon.
It is no secret to anyone that the moon usually has an influence on human beings and on the elements of the Earth, so it is important to highlight the lunar power in each phase of cultivation, on which the lunar calendar is based.
Lunar calendar 2016.
Complete calendar of the year 2016, to keep in mind the best transplant and sowing dates, to obtain very productive harvests.
Crescent quarter.
During this period of the lunar calendar, there are magnanimous movements of water in the soil, which affect the availability of the roots. When there is a greater amount of water in the soil, the seeds tend to have a high probability of absorbing more liquid quickly, which leads them to sprout in the expected time, although climatic and soil conditions play an important role here.
full moon.
This phase of the lunar calendar is usually distinguished by the increase in lunar light and the scant growth of the roots, although much development of the foliage. On this occasion the plants have a high amount of water, sap and also internal movements. Just when the transplant is carried out in that period, the plants tend to grow quickly and create a lot of foliage.
Last quarter.
When the moon is in last quarter the intensity of its rays begins to minimize. This is one of the best phases of the lunar calendar to carry out the transplant, since there is also a vigorous and rapid growth of the roots.
When there is little light, foliage growth is slow, although for this reason a large amount of its energy can be used to increase its root system. By obtaining a well-formed and vigorous root, the plant is able to obtain the necessary nutrients and water for its perfect growth.
New Moon.
This time is usually characterized by the intensity of the rays being minimized so much that they reach their lowest levels. In this phase there is a slow growth of the root system and foliage. Generally, this period is known as one of very little growth, as a period of rest, in which the plants get used to the environment without any damage.
As we can see, the moon is capable of directly influencing plants, in their process of evolution and transformation, therefore it is essential to keep an eye on the lunar calendar and the valuable contribution it can give us.
