different crops. Slaves on plantations On almost all plantations the people who owned the plantation ( also known as planters) Different kinds of plantation Cash crops What is a cash crop? A cash crop is a crop that grows well in the area. A cash crop is very popular and you make lots of money for growing it. For example, in the New England colonies tobacco was a cash crop because it was high in demand and also because the New England colonies had the perfect conditions to grow tobacco. Cash crops in

Stichler and Livingston (1999) previously stated that a major advantage of winter wheat compared with other small grain species that could be grown for winter forage production is its excellent tolerance to abiotic stresses including cold and drought. In addition, wheat forage has relatively high nutritive values including high protein, energy values, minerals, and low fiber concentrations, compared with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.) forages. Generally

future of humanity. What exactly is agricultural biotechnology? Agricultural biotechnology, or agritech, is a combination of tools to improve or manipulate microorganisms, or parts thereof, for agricultural use - such as bacteria resistant, improve crop yield, and the list goes on. Biotechnology, in specifies, agricultural biotechnology has been used for thousands of years. Scientists do not have a specific date as to when agritech was first utilized, but they have concluded that approximately ten

these factors is the ability to produce crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and several others. On occasion these crops experience stressors. These stressors can be from abiotic or biotic factors. Biotic stressors mainly include insect herbivores, whereas abiotic stressor mainly include temperature and water or lack thereof. It is vital to understand how crop react to these stressor in order to predict and possibly contradict the effect on the crops. When dealing with insect herbivores the

The different agriculture crops are described by explaining the environment that they are in and the difficulties they come across. The book explains how the crops and the environment have changed because of the difficulties they have faced. Diseases, race, inflation and deflation of crop prices, laws, and the economy are some of the main problems that helped transform the environment of the crop industry. The book explains in great detail the challenges that each crop undertook to become a more

Blackleg Black Leg of Canola Blackleg of canola is a disease that affects canola (Brassica napus) and other Brassica spp. with the causal agent being a fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans (anamorph= Phoma lingam). Canola is one of many cruciferous crops that is attacked by blackleg disease and losses from the disease have been documented for over a century with the disease occurring in every production area around the world (History occurrence impact, pg. 1). Symptoms for blackleg include lesions

4.1 Crop yield and juice quality Soil sickness of sugarcane monoculture, expressed as a reduction of cane yield, stalk diameter and biomass when sugarcane is cultivated on the same soil sequentially, is one of the foremost problems in sugarcane production, particularly in field conditions (Li et al. 2015; Li and Yang, 2015). Sugarcane is an important crop in Guangxi, China, but due to its long duration annual economic returns tend to be lower than some other crops. Intercropping of short duration

CROPS - summary 1. Planting of cover crops is a process of non-cash crops intend by farmer to grow purposely to protect and improve in-between the time of crop production. It is an easy way to revitalize the fertility of the soil for other subsequent plants growth. Crops duration time are varied from monthly and years depending on its objective and approach adopted. It is usually planted in vacant space and adds to the fertility of soil after they grow instead of being eaten up. They add a number

area is allowing for more and more improvements to the various aspects of a crop such as yield, visual quality, taste, nutritional value, disease immunity, and cold resistance, as well as many other benefits. A further understanding of both the genetics of crops and how to influence the characteristics listed above will support the lives of many, protect biodiversity, create many new jobs due to the ability to farm crops in new areas, and other possibilities. The Cocoyam, also known as Taro, is a

Floating row covers Also known as direct covers, floating row covers are usually nonwoven plastic films or agricultural fabrics that can be applied directly over crops. These covers can be installed in large sections that cover many rows in the garden. The edges are usually secured with soil,
