#Preparation
Preparing the soil for seeding crops means providing the best conditions for plants development, and involves the use of soil covering plants, adequate physical conditions, efficient erosion control and water infiltration, direct seeding system, and balanced nutrient supply.
#Seeding
Efficient planning of varieties of each crop also requires an efficient planning of the seeding system. Crops should be sowed within the ideal planting window of each cultivar, seeking to obtain the maximum potential of each crop. This is only achieved with the efficiency in the process of acquiring inputs in their proper season, constant labor qualification, and use of machines with high operational performance and quality.
#Management
The cultivation system in Angola, very similar to the Brazilian cerrado, requires an efficient crop rotation to ensure the of the soil, natural resources, and production system long-term sustainability. During the production cycle, appropriate management activities are conducted to ensure a satisfactory plant development, such as the applications of fertilizer and agricultural pesticide that minimize pest, disease and weeds. All operations are developed according to the agricultural planning and through daily evaluations in the field.
