referenced below a brief description of the characteristics of each moon, for the programming of each of the tasks that run on agricultural production. Also here's a link for Agricultural Calendar.
New Moon
Under this phase of lunar forces cause changes from the bottom up, though the sap is active in the bottom of the roots, is a phase of growth of resistance and food quality However, it is said that the germination of seeds is minimal, the organs most favored at this stage are the flower and fruit.
Practices:
- Prune diseased plants and trees to regenerate from the fourth day of the next phase, the crescent moon.
- Plants are started selectively in a batch after the third day of this phase, hardly re-sprout.
- is a phase with a great influence on the work of pest control, especially insects, there are those who say it is advisable to do so just before new moon, while others express the fact that the best time are the three days of this moon.
- process is not recommended planting or germination, as plants grow slowly.
- not perform tasks that alter or injure the roots, such as weeding or transplanting, nor try new fertilizers and avoid strong root application preparations.
fluids decrease their activity only in the first three days of this phase and then increase your activity, the sap rises and provides force , growth, maturation and substance even four days after the full moon. Favored organs are leaves and roots.
Best practices
- planting plants in this period provide leafy plants, juicy and strong, also is recommended in grafts under the influence of the crescent moon, with excellent results, when this work was performed under a fire sign.
- can do any activity on the ground that involves "liberating" it; decompression or desalination processes tend to have good results when done in this phase.
- harvest is recommended medicinal and aromatic plants for therapy at this stage, because here concentrated active ingredients efficiently.
- For this reason, always take the biodynamic treatments and allelopathic the foliage in this period.
- pay is not recommended at this stage, because the nutrients difficult to penetrate and they can wash, you lose effectiveness in the applications.
- pruning is not recommended in crescent, since plants lose too much sap.
- that is said is the period most suitable for combating pests, especially ants and slugs.
Full Moon In this period, the fluid dynamics reaches its peak, especially around the fourth day of this phase, so it is encouraged germination and growth , the crude sap rises with nourishing, so it is not advisable to perform work in an extreme form affecting the organs of plants and is then a period of conservative growth especially in the last days of this phase as shown in our figure.
friendly practices
- As discussed above, the best sowing period is among the three days preceding the full moon, until four days later, although some say it is better not to plant the full moon day.
- This stage is ideal for work of fertilization.
- boost is recommended all liquid preparations, exposing the moonlight the hydrosols and slurry, and applied as soon as possible.
- should not work the land at this stage and especially in the next full moon.
- Nor should prune, as the loss of sap is such that even the trees can die.
- ring or do not recommend digging around the plants to not interfere with energy flow and / or cosmic forces applied.
- Nor is convenient to water, except during periods of drought, bear in mind that full moon is often present climate changes that favor the appearance of rain.
During this phase fluids diminuyen su dinámica y se presenta el punto mas bajo, cerca del quinto día de esta fase; ahora la savia ha empezado a descender, potencializando aquellas actividades que involucran forma, calidad alimenticia y resistencia, por lo que es una fase principalmente de conservación , en donde las plantas se fortifican. Esta es una de las mejores fases para realizar la mayoría de las labores agrícolas, que, se dice, se potencializan cuando se realizan en horas de la tarde. Los órganos favorecidos son principalmente la flor y el fruto.
Prácticas recomendables
- En esta luna, el suelo inhala, so that the soil receives nutrients properly, be a good time to fertilize and water the plants.
- This phase is favorable for those seeking work pruning lower growth, or spread of lush plants. In our depth, we have seen, that the work of pruning is more effective without damage to the plant when the moon is waning under a fire sign.
- Similar to what happens in new moon, the plants that have been torn in the waning moon, do not grow quickly.
- the moon is ideal for cutting wood of all types and is recommended to do this activity in the early morning hours.
- Overall, all the products obtained under the ground should be harvested in the moon.
- Finally, is said to be the most appropriate stage to perform duties as the castrato, make trades or healing animals, branding or dehorning.
- is not recommended to purge or control internal parasites.
Since - is a moon low fluid dynamics, it is not recommended to plant growth will not be interesting, since neither leaf nor root are beneficial organisms in this phase. However, we found that fruiting plants underground, like potatoes, carrots and cassava, are given very well when planted in a waning moon, under an earth sign
