process which is unique. The process includes withering the plant under sun that is strong. This is a traditional tea from China. It also includes the oxidation which is before curling and twisting. The oolong tea which is of fine quality involves the cultivars of plants which is unique. These are used exclusively for a particular activity. The oxidation degree varies from 8 to 85% which depends on the style of production and variety. It is popular in Southeast Asia, China. The oolong teas taste…

SUMMARY The efficacy of abamectin , malathion and three plant oils(olive oil, peanut oil and linseed oil) singly and in three mixture ratios (5:95, 10:90 and 15:85) of the oils and pesticides , were biologically evaluated on cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus ( Fabricius , 1775) infested cowpea seeds. The activity of abamectin and malathion singly or in mixtures with the three oils were significantly increased, particularly at the higher concentrations. abamectin combinations with olive…

The expansion of a powerful country into a weaker nation with the purpose of taking over, is known as Imperialism. During the fifteenth through nineteenth century, imperialism was at its peak, countries all over the world had the same goal, to take over weaker nations and gain political, social and economical power from them. The powerful country leaders did this for the well being of their countries and its people. But with that came the destruction of developing nations. Developing nations…

2.1. Origin and Distribution of Cassava Cassava has its genetic, geographical and agricultural origin in Latin America. Its domestication began 5000 – 7000 years BC in the Amazon, Brazil (Alves, 2002) and it was distributed by Europeans to the rest of the world (Henry and Hershey, 2002). Cassava was taken from Brazil to the West coast of Africa by Portuguese traders in the 16th century (Jones, 1959; Nweke, 1994). Cassava is highly tolerant to drought. It is well adapted to areas with a long…

Lignocellulosic biomass consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, proteins, acids, salts and minerals. Chemical composition is also one of the important factors for biofuel production. Moisture content of raw pearl millet biomass was (8 %) and ash content (6.27 %) was obviously higher than that the literature report of 3.8 % (Dhabhai et al., 2012). The proximate analysis of pearl millet biomass revealed that moisture (8±0.32%), ash (6.27±0.08%), total solids (92±0.14%), water extractives…

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. super hybrid cultivar) seeds were sown in polystyrene trays on 10th of February, 2013. Seedlings and germination stages were conducted in the greenhouse. Seedlings were transplanted by hand at the third true leaf stage on 10th of March in oriented rows, 1.3 m apart, with…

Rather used for food, wine, or as a hospitable gesture, the pineapple, for centuries has been a great commodity worldwide. Although it is thought to have originated in the South American countries of Brazil and Paraguay, it was first discovered in the Caribbean island now known as Guadalupe. The discovery of pineapple in Guadalupe date back to 1493. Following their finding of the pineapple, Europeans attempted to take the plant back to Europe for cultivation. The lack of a tropical climate…

ABSTRACT: Growing demand for agricultural production intensifies over the years as the population of human race escalates rapidly. Small countries like Singapore lacks areas of lands and hence, resources. With the advancement of science and technology, cloning and genetic engineering techniques have been inculcated into our world today. This paper will discuss about the favorable and unfavorable factors of both cloning and genetic modification in agricultural production and finally, conclude to…

reproduction rate- Plants raised through seeds have long juvenile period. It takes long time to fruiting Results in an exact replica of the parent plant - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring do too The improved characteristics of a particular cultivar cannot be perpetuated in plants raised from…

“In the late 1980s, the University of Hawaii began developing a papaya cultivar resistant to Papaya Ringspot Virus. These new, genetically modified papaya plants are no longer susceptible to infection, allowing farmers to cultivate the fruit even when the virus is widespread” (Papayas). The virus stunts the growth of the fruit…
