Description
Summary:Putumayo is part of the Colombian Amazon region with soils of two characteristics floor, oxisol and ultisol, features a thin organic mantle of 5 centimeters of thicknes, followed by a clay layer of 2-3 impermeable meters spread over the territory which cause some limitations: It prevents normal development of roots and water accumulation on flat surfaces. These phenomena prevent commercial crop plants develop their genetic potential with low yields. This can be corrected with soil preparation made by The Studying ARAPAIMA Research Group, to ensure profitable Pepper production projects, allowing farmers to grow, create new jobs in the region, ensuring the generational change, combating poverty, contributing to the foundation acts of postconflict and increasing the competitiveness of the department.
