irrigation
irrigation
[Podstatné jméno]

the artificial application of water to land or soil to assist in the growing of crops and the maintenance of landscapes

zavlažování, irigace

zavlažování, irigace

Ex: Modern irrigation techniques have significantly increased agricultural productivity in arid regions. 
drainage
drainage
[Podstatné jméno]

the process of removing excess water or other liquids from an area or system, typically through a network of pipes, channels, or natural slopes

odvodnění, drenáž

odvodnění, drenáž

Ex: Proper drainage is essential for maintaining the health of the garden and preventing waterlogging. 
soil conservation
soil conservation
[Podstatné jméno]

the protection of soil from erosion, nutrient loss, and other forms of degradation

Ex: Soil conservation practices include terracing and planting windbreaks. 
land reclamation
land reclamation
[Podstatné jméno]

the process of making unusable or unproductive land suitable for farming, building, or other development

Ex: The city's land reclamation project turned abandoned industrial sites into parks. 
hydroponics
hydroponics
[Podstatné jméno]

a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions

hydroponie, metoda pěstování rostlin bez půdy

hydroponie, metoda pěstování rostlin bez půdy

Ex: Hydroponics allows for efficient cultivation of vegetables in urban environments. 
precision agriculture
precision agriculture
[Podstatné jméno]

a farming approach that uses technology to optimize crop production by precisely managing resources like water, fertilizer, and pesticides

přesné zemědělství, precizní zemědělství

přesné zemědělství, precizní zemědělství

crop processing
crop processing
[Podstatné jméno]

the series of operations that convert raw harvested crops into sellable or usable products

Ex: Crop processing turns wheat into flour for baking. 
post-harvest technology
post-harvest technology
[Podstatné jméno]

all the processes and treatments applied to crops from the moment of harvest until they reach the final consumer

Ex: Post-harvest technology includes drying, cooling, packaging, and transportation. 
soil fertility
soil fertility
[Podstatné jméno]

the capacity of soil to support plant growth and produce high crop yields

Ex: Soil fertility depends on the presence of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. 
erosion control
erosion control
[Podstatné jméno]

the practice of preventing or reducing soil loss caused by wind or water in agricultural and developed areas

Ex: Farmers use cover crops as a method of erosion control on sloped fields. 
biomass
biomass
[Podstatné jméno]

the entirety of living organisms in a specific area or ecosystem, typically measured as dry weight after removing water

biomasa, biologická hmota

biomasa, biologická hmota

Ex: The tropical rainforest contains a vast biomass of plants and animals, contributing to its incredible biodiversity. 
harvester
harvester
[Podstatné jméno]

a machine used to gather ripe crops from the field

Ex: The combine harvester cuts and separates grain in one pass. 
plow
plow
[Podstatné jméno]

a large farm tool with heavy blades used to turn over soil and prepare it for sowing

pluh, radlice

pluh, radlice

Ex: The farmer used a horse-drawn plow to till the soil before planting the crops. 
seeder
seeder
[Podstatné jméno]

a machine that spreads grass seed or grain evenly over the soil

Ex: The seeder attached to the tractor planted wheat across the entire field. 
cultivator
cultivator
[Podstatné jméno]

a piece of mechanical equipment used to break up the soil and remove weeds from the ground

kultivátor, rotavátor

kultivátor, rotavátor

sprayer
sprayer
[Podstatné jméno]

a device that converts liquid into a fine mist for application over surfaces or crops

Ex: The farmer used a sprayer to apply pesticide evenly across the cornfield. 
soil porosity
soil porosity
[Podstatné jméno]

the fraction of soil volume made up of open spaces or pores between particles

Ex: High soil porosity improves water infiltration and root growth. 
field capacity
field capacity
[Podstatné jméno]

the maximum amount of water a soil can retain against gravity after excess drainage

Ex: Field capacity determines how much irrigation water a soil can hold for crops. 
drip emitter
drip emitter
[Podstatné jméno]

a small device that regulates the release of nutrient solution or water in drip irrigation systems

Ex: Each drip emitter releases water directly to the plant's root zone. 
subsurface drainage
subsurface drainage
[Podstatné jméno]

a system that removes excess water from beneath the soil surface to prevent root damage and waterlogging

Ex: Subsurface drainage uses perforated pipes buried underground to carry away excess moisture. 
soil compaction
soil compaction
[Podstatné jméno]

the pressing together of soil particles, which reduces pore space and restricts root growth and water movement

Ex: Soil compaction from heavy machinery reduces crop yields significantly. 
bulk density
bulk density
[Podstatné jméno]

the weight of soil particles divided by the total volume they occupy, including pore spaces

Ex: Bulk density is used to assess soil compaction and root penetration potential. 
tillage resistance
tillage resistance
[Podstatné jméno]

the force that soil exerts against a tillage tool during cultivation, affecting how easily it can be worked

Ex: Tillage resistance increases as soil moisture drops and compaction rises. 
traction coefficient
traction coefficient
[Podstatné jméno]

the ratio of the effective pulling force of a vehicle or implement to the load pressing it against the ground

Ex: The traction coefficient determines how well a tractor can pull a heavy plow.
