Crops

Crop rotation is a systematic approach to choosing which crop to plant where in your vegetable garden from one year to the next. The goals of crop rotation are to help manage soil fertility and to help reduce conflicts with soilborne diseases and soil-dwelling insects like corn. This process then changes the different types of nutrients in the soil helping the soil to have more nutrients and the crops to be better at resisting diseases and pests. One of the methods that was used with this appropriate

Crop Biodiversity is a very important to the world we know. As populations grow around the world people are going to consume more food. This can cause a problem without crop biodiversity. Crop biodiversity is the outcome of the interactions among genetic resources, the environment and the management systems and practices used by farmers. This is the result of both natural selection and human interventions and human inventive developed over millennia. Crop diversity helps when trying feeding growing

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

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

Proso Millet as an Alternative Crop Proso millet, Panicurn miliaceum (L.), is a warm season grass that is capable of producing seeds within a short growing season of 60 to 100 days (Boland, 2003). Proso millet possesses many unique characteristics that make it a promising alternative cash crop for the Great Plains region of United States. There is much potential for beneficial results if proso millet is further integrated into the cropping scheme of the Great Plains. Reasons for looking

2a: Crop competitive ability and disease resistance: Assess varietal differences in competitive ability against weeds and resistance against major diseases for oat, winter wheat and spring wheat. a.) Quantify weed suppressive ability under organic field conditions; b.) Quantify crop tolerance of weed pressure in field conditions; c.) Determine which crop characteristics (emergence timing, leaf blade width, tillering, leaf area index, height, growth rate) are most highly correlated with crop weed

Crop circles are strange shapes in crops that people believed where UFOs landed, or the work of Earth’s Power. There are many theories on the circles, but the only proven explanation is humans. Crop circles are patterns that appear in fields. These crop circles are normally made by flattening any crop. The most commonly flattened crop is cereal, but the crops have varied from tobacco, wheat, barley, rice paddies, or even wild grass. Crop circles have happened so recently, that they have become

explained. For the last few decades, crop circles have been appearing all around the world, yet we do not have a clear scientific explanation for them. Crop circles are defined as some kind of circular geometric patterns on crops such as wheat, barley, and corn, (Meder 2007). They are made within a very short period of time without any mistakes. There are over 12,000 circles found with complicated patterns and large in scale, (Crystalinks 2009) Many of the crop circles were found to be a manmade,

1600’s, crop circles have fascinated millions. Originally from the town of Hertfordshire, UK, the first circle was claimed to be by the “Mowing-Devil”, as found in an English newspaper dated back to 1678. (Gail) The image in the center of the paper depicts a small, devilish creature with a scythe, mowing two rectangular, offset circles. Modern circles form themselves in anything that will take imprint, typically in fields of oats, barley, or corn. (Pringle 5) Since the 1600’s forward, crop circles

Crop protection is bought by horticultural makers, including agriculturists, farmers, and others to ensure themselves against either the loss of their harvests because of common debacles, for example, hail, dry spell, and surges, or the loss of income because of decreases in the costs of agrarian things. The two general classifications of product protection are called crop-yield protection and harvest income protection. A rancher or producer might yearning to grow a harvest connected with a specific
