Block 26 Ruohonen
Block basic information
Area: 9.11 hectares
Soil type: rich loamy sand (rmHtS)
Diverse block, usually cultivated in two growth blocks. Water management issues in the lowest part of the block. Soil type limits the choice of crops. Very precise about treatment timing. Small forest island in the middle of the block. The eastern tip of the block used as a nature conservation field.
Renovation works: Drainage of the lowest part of the block in summer 2018.
