inadequate fertilizer, yields are in the range of 2-10 t DM/ha/year. Cuttings can be done at 45 – 90 day interval depending on the location. Elephant grass can be cultivated in association with legumes such as pigeon pea (cajanus cajan) and leucaena though it is usually grown in pure stands (Mannetje, 1992). Its association with legumes has higher nutritional value and higher dry matter yield than elephant grass…

Plants gain a lot of nutrients in their daily lives. They get it mostly from water and also the soil. Water is a molecule made up of the following atoms, Hydrogen and Oxygen. In this molecule the electrons are not shared equally between these atoms. Electrons are negatively charged so if they spend more time around an atom the atom becomes negative. The electrons turn Oxygen negative because they spend more time together. The reason for the electrons to be around Oxygen is because Oxygen has…

Standard rate of rotation is 6 degrees per minute. 3.…

Abiotic stress in plants: an overview: An environmental perturbation such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing and high temperatures can influence plant growth and, inturn, can prove detrimental to enduring agriculture (Slama et al, 2014). Such kind of environmental disturbance encountered by the plant in field or in vitro is referred to as abiotic stress.Under such conditions, plants advancingly experience altered or abnormal cellular and whole plant processes just to achieve the right…

Like other countries in South and Central America, Panama has had some serious environmental issues. For a lot of the country’s history, money had more importance than conservation, and an ethic of “man over nature” pervaded the culture. Forests were chopped down routinely to make room for cattle.
