Summary Introduction
To explain:
The short term and long term consequences of fumigation on the soils, which is done to kill harmful fungi.
Introduction:
In farming, the crops are prevented from developing the diseases by spraying various kinds of antimicrobial products. These antimicrobials kill bacteria, fungi and other animals which causes harm to the crops.

At first, small black spots appear on the leaves. If left untreated, the entire plant can die. From this information, what is mostly the main cause of the demise? a) The plants’ cells are unable to carry out aerobic respiration. b) The leaves are unable to manufacture enough sugar to maintain the health of the plant. c) The roots are unable to absorb enough water. d) The stems are unable to support the plant.arrow_forwardYou have discovered a secondary metabolite made by an unusual fungus that has great industrial potential. Unfortunately, the fungus makes very little of this product, so you must develop a scheme to increase the yield.

- Soil microorganisms, collectively referred to as dizotrophs, fix 90% of the inert nitrogen gas to ammonium and nitrate. There are two-main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living (nonsymbiotic) and mutualistic (symbiotic). Describe the mutualistic relationship between Rhizobium and legumes. What is the advantage of using legumes as a cover crop in agricultural systems? A point of interest is that the nitrogenase enzyme complex is highly sensitive to oxygen. This is a major problem for free-living aerobic species such as cyanobacteria and species of the genera Azotobacter and Beiigrinckia.
