Douglas (2012) said that, “very dry weather is bad (the flowers don’t produce much nectar, even if they’re not withering away to nothing) and very wet weather is bad because the bees are less likely to leave the hive and can soon run out of food.” Brown (2014) cited in his article that Allan Williams, an agriculture extension officer in St. Vincent and the Grenadines explained “unfavorable climatic conditions such as continued heavy rainfall, reduce the honeybees’ access to nectar and pollen,…

Results Effects of cultivar genotypic diversity on weeds In overall, the total density of weeds grown in genetically diversified wheat plots was significantly (P ≤ 0.01) lower than that in the monocultures (Figure 2). Weeds grown under monocultures of Shiroodi and ERWYT 91-11 showed the highest density, 33.33 and 30.17 plant m-2 respectively. However, the lowest weed density, 18.67 plant m-2, was observed where these two genetically diversified cultivar/line grew together in a mixture (Figure…

Results: In Tully Valley, the mudboils are where pressurized groundwater flows up through a restricting layer of silt, clay and fine sand. Mudboils usually take place in subduction zones of the Earth. The mudboil causes the land surface to slowly decline and the erosion of suspended sediment which creates a sequence of concentric ring fractures around the discharging mudboil. Mudboils are driven by pressurized groundwater, geothermic heat, and gases. As a consequence, the mudboils…

Upon the first reading of Virgil’s Georgics, it may seem that the poem has more to do with farming and agriculture than it does with gardening. Virgil’s writing of different topics such as the plague that kills off the animals or the planting of trees may seem like they don’t relate to gardening, but they do. The Georgics should be included in a class on gardens because it could be used to make connections to many concepts that have been discussed thus far in the class, such as the constant…

The second favorable position of utilizing bamboo as your fencing material is that it is solid and strong. At last bamboo…

1. Introduction Silicified wood is normally formed close to the surface due to the infiltration of buried wood with mineral-rich water and the associated deposition of minerals (Kim et al., 2009). Two typical geological environments have been reported, 1) trees transported by streams and rivers then buried in the fluvial sediments (e.g., Weibel, 1996; Fielding and Alexander, 2001; Parrish and Falcon-Lang, 2007; Hartmann et al., 2010), and 2) ash from volcanic eruptions buries trees while felled…
