Hass avocado farming during El nino rains. How to maintain fruit productivity after the rains.

During heavy rains, a process called leaching occurs as water passes through the soil, dissolving and carrying away soluble nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other essential minerals. This process is natural and crucial for the cycling of nutrients in ecosystems. However, excessive leaching can lead to nutrient depletion in the soil, potentially impacting plant growth and productivity.
When essential nutrients are leached from the soil, plants may suffer from nutrient deficiencies, hindering their ability to carry out vital biological processes such as photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and cell division. As a result, plant growth may be stunted, and overall productivity reduced.
To mitigate the negative effects of leaching on plant growth, farmers and gardeners often supplement the soil with fertilizers or organic matter rich in nutrients. By replenishing the lost nutrients, they ensure that plants have an adequate supply to support their growth and development, even during periods of heavy rainfall.
