The lunar sowing agricultural calendar for 2024 helps determine the optimal timing of agricultural activities. The end of winter can be considered the start. First of all, crops are planted for seedlings. As summer approaches, the garden is planted. Throughout the warm period of the year, agricultural activities are carried out according to the lunar phases.
The influence of the moon on plants
It is recommended to carry out work in the garden and vegetable garden, taking into account the influence of the Moon on vegetation. This planet, being in close proximity to us, affects gravity, as well as the movement of water, that is, the ebb and flow of the tides. Revolving around the globe, the Moon either moves away or approaches the Sun, and is illuminated by it to a greater or lesser extent. Of course, all these processes affect the life of living organisms.
Over the course of a month, the Moon manages to go through four phases. Each lasts only one week. The new lunar month usually begins with the New Moon. During this period, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth. In the first phase, the growth of the plant root system weakens. In the second, the influence of the Moon intensifies, which leads to intensive development of the above-ground parts of plants. This phase ends with the Full Moon. During this period, the Moon shines at full strength at night. True, it is located at the farthest distance from the Sun.
Every month until the 15th the Moon grows, in the second half of the month, on the contrary, it decreases, and at the end it grows again. During the Full Moon, the Earth's satellite is completely illuminated by light, so photosynthesis continues even at night. In the conventional third period, night illumination gradually declines. These days the waning phase begins. The growth of the above-ground parts of plants slows down. In the fourth phase, it becomes even darker at night. Accordingly, energy and liquid rush down.
This feature is usually used when carrying out agricultural work. The fact is that during the growing phase the above-ground part of the vegetation grows well, and in the decreasing phase, on the contrary, everything that is underground develops intensively.
Moon in Zodiac signs
Every month the Moon passes through all the signs of the Zodiac.Each one is delayed for 2-3 days. A zodiac sign is a sector of the celestial sphere where the stars that form a certain zodiac constellation are located. The celestial bodies and the Moon, which is in their field of vision, influence the vegetation of the globe.
The following signs are considered fertile (positively affecting the leaves in the growing phase): Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces. Average fertility (affecting fruits during the period of lunar growth): Sagittarius, Leo, Aries. Infertile (only affects flowers in the growing phase): Gemini, Aquarius, Libra. Affecting roots and root crops only in the waning phase: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for 2024
Taking into account the phase of the Moon and the passage of this planet through different signs of the Zodiac, you can create a calendar of agricultural events. True, when starting sowing or harvesting, first of all, you need to take into account the climatic characteristics of your region. For convenience, the calendar is presented in the form of tables by day of the month, where “U” is the waning lunar phase, and “P” is the waxing lunar phase.
