Fertirrigação na integração entre piscicultura e agricultura familiar em Viçosa, Alagoas.

Abstract

The study addresses the integration between fish farming and family farming in Viçosa, Alagoas, focusing on the use of fertigation as a strategy for sustainable development. Fertigation combines irrigation with the application of fertilizers dissolved in water, optimizing the use of water resources and nutrients. In Viçosa, this technique is applied to irrigate vegetables and roots, using water from fish tanks, rich in nutrients from animal excretion. The objective of the research is to evaluate the impacts of this practice on productivity and sustainability, as well as to understand the challenges faced by small producers. The methodology involves data collection, analysis of the application of fertigation and assessment of the socioeconomic impact. This study is relevant as it offers a viable and sustainable model for other regions of the state and country, aiming to face challenges such as climate change and water scarcity.
