Alstromeria known by people as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas or parrot lily is a south America genus of over 50 species of flowering plants with its natural habitat ranging from the cool mountain of the Andes in Chile, Peru and brazil and this magnificent flower was discovered in the 18th century by the Swedish scientist Clas alstromer Fabulously beautiful with varying shades of bright green, bright purple, orange, pink, rose, purple, red, yellow, white or salmon colors, this unique color…
Rush Juncus effusus Native Range and Habitat An extremely common plant, Rush is located in much of the United States, with the exception of a few dry, arid Great Plains states. It inhabits fresh and brackish marshes, swamps, ditches, moist wetlands and meadows. It is tolerant of diverse site conditions, but thrives in direct sun, finely textured soils, and shallow fresh water. Wildlife Uses Stands of Rush form deep, fibrous root systems. These provide shoreline protection, filter pollutants,…
In this project I will try to find out if the plants will grow better normally or in the aerogarden. I will see how the aerogarden affects the plant growth. I will plant strawberries in both of the systems and see which plants grow faster. I will record the growth every single week. Then I will put it on my project. The aero garden is completely mess free because it uses aeroponics. Aeroponics requires no soil or fertilizer. This is related to my project because of how easy it is for everyone…
regarding the garden. Additionally, 70% of plants grown would be perennial plants such as fruit trees, strawberry plants, and grapevines (mostly fruits) as opposed to annual plants like sweet corn and potatoes. By making most of my plants perennial I will be able to save money as well as reduce erosion. The early stages of the perennial plants would be grown in our school’s small greenhouse kept by the student FFA chapter. The other 30% of plants will be annual plants started from seeds and…
non-native plants pose a threat to ecosystems throughout the United States. In California alone, approximately 3,000 invasive plant species have been introduced (17, Dowell and Krass). These plants cause damages to native vegetation and often out compete their native counterparts (17). One species of slender oat, Avena barbata, is threatening native plants in California (Cal- IPC). This paper will focus on current research on the effects of invasive plants including A. barbata on native plants…
Studies have determined that the plant has a level of protein and digestibility equal to the Leucaena. It has a high protein and its use for low forage species and growth especially in heavy soils is recommended. The dry matter production is about 7.6 ton/ha/cut, in Hawaii can produce up to 23 ton/ha/cut and in Australia up to 70 ton/ha/ year. Hawaii plants are mechanically cut to a height of 5 to 7.5 cm. ground. Cutting intervals 91 days to obtain…
Bud bank dynamics (Benson, Hartnett et al. 2004) study suggest that the densities and dynamics of tallgrass prairie plant populations, as well as their response to disturbance (e.g., fire and grazing) and climatic variability, may be mediated principally through effects on the demography of belowground bud populations. Patterns of seed reproduction and seed bank populations have little influence on short-term aboveground population dynamics of tallgrass prairie perennials. Our results indicate…

LGBTI social clubs, healthcare service units and businesses which support VAC’s work. The communication protocols used with these external stakeholders include face-to-face meetings, phone calls, emails, sending corporate quarterly newsletters and annual reports, putting auxiliary members on their Boards, nominating liaison members, social media cross-posting, participating at community events, and sitting on mutual…
can be seen everywhere in meadows, gardens and fields. It is an annual herb and commonly considered as a weed. It is an annual herb and growth starts in a rosette pattern of the leaves. However, when flowering starts , the stem become erect and rigid. It has become a problematic weed…
