Chapter 57, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors that might limit the losses which occur due to crop pests.
Introduction:
Some plants need protection against the pests while some plants are evolved enough to protect themselves by developing their defense mechanisms. Those plants that do not have any defense mechanism are needed to be protected.

- OBJECTIVE & SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The scope of the project is to prediction of crops can be informed to agriculturists in time basis. Many Machine Learning techniques have been used to analyse the agriculture parameters. Some of the techniques in different aspects of agriculture are studied by a literature study. Blooming Neural networks, soft computing techniques plays significant part in providing recommendations. Considering the parameter like production and season, more personalized and relevant recommendations can be given to farmers which makes them to yield good volume of production. Q.CONVERT THE ABOVE SENTENCE'S WHERE OBJECTIVE SHOULD BE GIVEN AS POINTS AND EACH POINT SHOULD START WITH A VERB? Oarrow_forwardOrganisms that damage crop plants are the most costly of introduced species. Weeds, pathogenic microbes, and arthropods that attack crops together account for half of the costs documented by Pimentel and his colleagues. What steps can we—farmers, governments, and all of us as a society—take to minimize the impacts of invasive species on crops?arrow_forwardirections: Answers must be in essay form. Outline form is not acceptable. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion, but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely before you begin. An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below. CUMULATIVE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION O Variety A 7"C - Variety A 17e O Variety B 7°C • Variety B 17°C 20 40 Time (min) 60 8. In a second experiment, variety A seedlings at both temperatures were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD*. Predict he most likely effect of the chemical on metabolism and oxygen consumption of the treated seedlings. Explain your prediction. v + , N - C (qu) Oxygen Consumptionarrow_forward
