The term "POMAR" refers to an agricultural activity or a cultivated area primarily dedicated to the growth, development, and maintenance of fruit trees or orchard trees. Derived from the Portuguese language, "POMAR" provides a concise and convenient way to describe a distinct area or plot of land specifically allocated for the purpose of cultivating fruit-bearing trees.
Typically established for commercial or subsistence purposes, a POMAR encompasses a wide variety of fruit trees such as apple, orange, pear, plum, cherry, mango, banana, and many others depending on the regional climate and preferences. This specialized agricultural system involves various horticultural practices, including tree planting, pruning, grafting, fertilization, pest and disease management, irrigation, and harvesting methods. The overarching goal of a POMAR is to ensure the optimal growth and production of high-quality fruits.
Moreover, a POMAR also plays a significant ecological role as it sustains biodiversity, supports local ecosystems, and enhances landscape aesthetics. It provides both economic and nutritional benefits, serving as a source of income generation for farmers and supplying fresh fruits to local markets. Additionally, POMARs contribute to food security and offer opportunities for agrotourism, allowing visitors to engage in fruit picking activities, educational programs, or enjoying the natural beauty of the orchard.
