Thi Thu Huong Pham

As an agronomist, I have knowledge on crop management including nutrition management, crop seasons, crop rotation, identifying pest disease, natural enemies, integrated pest management for field crops including vegetables, legume, root & tuber crops and rice. I can identify symptom of nutrition deficiency and link to their reasons such as due to soil pH, temperature or poor soil. I have experience on crops requirements of sunlight, pH, crop tolerance on drought flood.  I understand role of weeds in eco-systems. Besides competing with crops on nutrition and sunlight, weeds protect soil surface of erosion, protect crops from insects (themselves can be a source of food for insects), maintain natural enemies and pH indicator. I understand function of natural micro-organisms , organisms in the soil,   soil health, and soil health needed to be protected
