Seedling

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 2.1 DEFINITIONS Organic crops Crops that are produced or practiced without using artificial chemicals, or crops that are produced by and from living things (Oxford, 2014). Organic agriculture produces products by using methods that don’t harm the environment but rather preserve it (USDA, 2015). Inorganic crops Crops that do not consist of or come from any living substances (Oxford, 2014). The use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides in production, solely…

According to the book “Raising Seedlings of Tropical Trees,” a seed should have a certain amount of space between itself and another seed. “No closer than 1 cm to each other, and often 5–25 cm apart, to allow each plant enough room” (Longman, 2003). The thing the author is talking about leaving room for would be germination. For our group’s experiment, we hypothesized that putting a seed next to another seed will have no effect on the rate of germination. Germination can be defined as the…

For the most part, people don’t appear to think it takes courage to release fear. There is a common notion that fear grips us, we freeze, then slowly get our limbs moving and thoughts circulating about what to do next. When not put in its place- out of our lives- it can stifle sleep and cause chest discomfort so severe it feels like, or may even trigger, a even heart attack. It takes courage to turn a new page and decide not to give fear an opportunity to become so entrenched it causes…

A Discussion on the effect of Bush Encroachment on the Agricultural land in Namibia. Definition: bush encroachment is the thickening of indigenous woody plant species and their incursion into area they did not occur abundantly before (Axel Routhauge, 2014). It can be unplanned conversion of vegetation dominated by grassland to one dominated by woody species, often as result of overgrazing or invasion by aliens. This essay aims to clarify more on the various effects that bush encroachment cause…

In Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, published 1962, the author brings forth the idea that we are poisoning ourselves and the environment through the common misuse of chemical pesticides during that time (Introduction). She believes that citizens must have the right to “be secure in his own home against the intrusion of poisons applied by other persons” (p xv under Introduction). In the face of obvious toxic effects of DDT and other chemicals, she reports that at the time, new chemicals were being…

Proposal 1: Plant Diversity and Competition in Montana Sagebrush Steppe; Post Wildfire In Montana, 44,103 square kilometers are classified as big sagebrush steppe. In addition to this, 16,346 square kilometers are classified as Montane Sagebrush Steppe (fieldguide.mt.gov). These ecosystems alone take up nearly 16% of Montana’s land (15.87%). These lands are normally dominated by Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis, and other native shrubs along with diverse perennial herbaceous graminoid…

dogs began vomiting blood and passing whole larvae in their stool after eating these worms. Studies in Europe suggest that N. pronuba females produce a male attracting pheromone. They are also referred to as cutworms because they eat the stems of seedlings, theoretically cutting the plant down. Area Found: This centipede was found crawling on the wall of my basement. Habitat: Originating from the mediterranean region, this arthropod is now found worldwide. They prefer cool damp places…

The Venus flytrap is a plant native to wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The scientific name for the Venus Fly Trap is Dionaea Muscipula. It’s one of the most fascinating plants to have ever existed due to its omnivorous nature. Darwin noted, “‘I care more for Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal. I will stick up for Drosera to the day of my death.” The Venus flytrap reproduces by…
