Yeonggwang-gun, Apply for 'Soil Conditioner' by April 20

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 16th that it will accept applications for soil conditioners to be supplied from next year until 2025 to maintain and preserve soil fertility by improving farmland with low effective silica content and acidic soil, and to establish a foundation for practicing eco-friendly agriculture.

Applications for soil conditioners must be submitted by April 20th by the farmers themselves at the town or township office where the farmland is located, targeting farmland registered under agricultural management entities to prevent overlapping or biased support of agricultural subsidies.

The types of soil conditioners being applied for this time are siliceous fertilizers and calcareous fertilizers (lime marl and weathered rock). The quantity to be supplied over the three years from next year to 2025 will be finalized through a bulk application process and will be supplied free of charge.

Farmers who wish to apply for soil conditioners should promptly register as agricultural management entities to avoid exclusion from support, and if there are changes in cultivation relationships such as leasing of farmland, they must update their registration information accordingly.

A county official said, “We ask all farmers to apply without exception to promote natural circulation agriculture within the region through active participation.”

Registration and change applications for agricultural management entities can be made at the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service office with jurisdiction over the applicant’s address.
