For a food secure nation, Kenya still has to inject more into quality seeds Poor quality of the seed used translates to a small cost that is incurred to sustain a well fed economy. The farm yields diminish and the economic losses to the farmers are likely to be much greater. By Juma Chrispinus Farm inputs amongst small scale farmers including seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers are key in improving agricultural yield. In order to achieve considerable yields, small scale farmers should be able…

1. My past camping experiences have been quite minor, but I used to live out in the desert with lots of wilderness around 2. The area I’m in is a more desert biome, outside or by a school with a large patch of desert. The typical temperature is Hot and I would expect minor precipitation to fall there in the month of my visit. The soil type is dry dirt and is very dusty, as well as the area around me is very barren. I chose a site on a slope without a water drainage feature. 3. I expected to…

data on the impact that these synthetic hormones have on plants growth rate in pea plants. In order to understand the impacts of synthetic auxin an experiment was conducted using natural auxin, naphthaleneacetic acid, and indolebutyric acid. Three seeds were placed in 4 pots each, one pot functioned as a control group with no added hormone. A hormone solution for each type of auxin was created and added over four weeks. Each of the plants received an equal amount of water, light, and was…

Title Sugar water versus salt water: What effect did they have on seed germination? Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to figure out what types of water would have an effect and what that effect would be on seed germination. Background information Plants need nutrients to survive. These nutrients can include nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur and iron. The plant absorbs these nutrients through the roots from the soil. These thing aren’t the only things plants…

Pollinators, flowers, and their relationship play an essential role in ecosystems. Pollinators are responsible for facilitating fertilization in flowering plants, which provides seed production in fruits and vegetables. Pollination is important in agricultural communities with the fertilization of crops. It is estimated that pollinators contribute to the global economy by adding 217 billion dollars from pollinating a vast array of crops (Gallai et al., 2009). The pollinator-flower relationship…

Differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristics could provide various sources of imagery. A vegetation classification developed from the characteristics is important for classifying and mapping vegetation cover. Geographically, Takalar Regency is located at latitude of -5.4162 and longitude of 119.4876. It was the west part from city Makassar in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was also close to a boundary of Jeneponto regency. In this study area, it was near with five…

Especially in Texas, the lower temperatures and increased rain makes fall the best time to prepare your lawn for a healthy spring. Grass may not appear to be growing as quickly once summer is over, but your yard is actually absorbing moisture and nutrients in preparation for winter. There are several things you can do in the fall to care for your front and back yards. A…

that, “If the amount of water a seed receives is increased, then the amount of seeds that sprout will increase because seeds need water to germinate.” The hypothesis was supported however it is also refuted because, the amount of seeds that germinated declined in numbers at 100 drops/hour. Whereas before it increased for 0 to 71 from 0 drops to 75 drops/hour.The refined hypothesis states that if the amount of water a seed receives increases, then the amount of seeds that germinate will increase…

thaliana seeds inoculated on an agar plate containing 1mM of phosphate (NaH2PO4), while in the experimental (low phosphate) group, 42 A. thaliana seeds were inoculated on a 1 μM phosphate agar plate (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). There were 6 agar plates (Class groups) within each treatment group. Using sterile technique with a pasteur pipette, 1 seed per agar plate grid-line was inoculated for a total of 7 seeds per treatment. The agar plates were sealed, labeled…
