Crops

food source, or their sturdiness as transportation depending on the animal. Alongside food, rivers can also provide our society with an irrigation system for our crops. If a canal type system is constructed, the canal will allow water to flow to our crops, giving our community the opportunity to effectively distribute water to our crops. Not only will the river water assist our harvest, but it will supply our animals with drinking water. Having rivers within close proximity will be a dependable…

useful for an analysis of crop dry matter production. McCree's analysis has led to the recognition of two components of plant /crop respiration activity. One of these components, called the maintenance respiration component is generally related to the net weight of the plant or crop. However, it does not necessarily follow that the size of the metabolically active component of a plant or crop is related to its total dry weight. Gradually, metabolically active component of the crop becoming an…

to grow cash crops and devastate land and the markets, resulting in the death of millions of people because of the famine the British produced, and gave them no education.…

When the Europeans began to occupy the regions of Africa, political and economic policies forcefully adjusted African people to colonial life. The reason for the Berlin Conference and the partition of Africa was mainly to not exclude European nations from regions that could be valuable in the future. Before the Europeans began implementing economic policies they needed to develop their political systems based on the territory their country occupied. The politic system would set up an…

relevant, scientifically-explained assumptions that health complications occur due to Monsanto’s Round-Up Ready active ingredient glyphosate being sprayed on genetically modified crops. As stated by the article, “GLYPHOSATE OVERVIEW,” “Largely because of the spread of glyphosate-resistant weeds, herbicide-tolerant GMO crops led to a 527-million-pound increase in herbicide use in the…

meaning scientists transfer a desire gene from a plant, animal, or organism and into another. (Kannall) This process has been used for food production. There have been many controversies about genetically modified crops and whether people are just better off eating from conventional crops. There has been research justifying that genetically modified food are okay to eat but also research suggesting they’re not okay. Despite the potential for health risks and environmental damage, genetically…

educate and explain misconstrued presumptions about genetically modified organisms being used in agriculture. Biotech crops were first officially integrated into agriculture in 1996. Since they were introduced, they have been the most rapid and widely adopted ag-innovation in history (Monsanto). Genetic modification allows researchers to insert genes from other unrelated organisms into crops.…

How does water affect agriculture? Water is one of the most important inputs essential for the production of crops. Plants need it continuously during their life and in huge quantities. It profoundly influences photosynthesis, respiration, absorption, translocation and utilization of mineral nutrients, and cell division besides some other processes. Both its shortage and excess affect the growth and development of a plant directly and, consequently, its yield and quality. In India, however,…

Foods are essential to human. It provides us energy and nutrient we need to survive. Therefore, we always want to improve the food appearance, nutrient value and increase crop yield. This leads to the derivation of genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism (WHO 2016). Although it is a newly advance scientific…

Thaba-Tseka project would have been more successful if crop cultivation was focused in few selected areas, training the farmers and find the suitable crop or a variety for production. Many of them who took up farming where not real farmers but took up farming as a profession. Now Thaba came up with another programme called Food grain self sufficiency programme (FSSP) where the government do an agreement with the land owners to cultivate crops using machinery in their lands and share the…
