animals and plants (i.e. crops) creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. Agriculture is also observed in certain species of ant and termite. Agriculture encompasses a wide variety of specialties and techniques‚ including ways to expand the lands suitable for plant raising‚ by digging water-channels and other forms of irrigation. Cultivation of crops on arable land and the pastoral

Population and its affects Population is becoming very dangerous for us because every day population was increasing. The demand of people is also increasing for crops and they also want cloths to wear. The most populated country in the world is China and second most populated country is India. Day by day for completing the demand of people government are cutting the trees and making industries and house for people because of this the percentage of oxygen is going down and the percentage of carbon

profit of an irrigation project The model presents an objective function that maximizes the net income and specifies the range of water availability. It is assumed that yield functions in response to water application are available for differents crops and describe very well the water-yield relationships. The linear programming model was developed genetically‚ so that‚ the rational use of the available water resource could be included in an irrigation project Specific equations were developed and

Currently‚ our world is afflicted with the issue of pollution. To rectify this problem‚ GM crops are modified to resistance to insect and pest attack as well as to herbicides. Additionally‚ another process which is applied in an effort to make GM crops environmentally friendly is phytoremediation. Therefore‚ pollution can be greatly reduced and eventually be eliminated altogether. Phytoremediation is defined as the rectification

“Using named examples‚ assess the effectiveness of technological leapfrogging in contributing to the development process.” Technology leapfrogging is a term used to describe the bypassing of technological stages that other countries have gone through. Technology leapfrogging is bypassing some of the processes of growing of human capabilities and fixed investment in order to narrow down the gaps in productivity and output that separate industrialised and developing countries. Leapfrogging involves

Ethical Issues Associated with Genetic Modification of Plant for Crop Plantation Genetic modification of plant for crop plantation presents to create or maximise desirable characteristic of plant‚ such as increased yield‚ to produce better quality food and resistance to disease or resistance to climatic extremes like heat‚ cold and frost. However‚ most consumers have doubts about genetic modification plants on a less easily defined level. Many consumers could not accept genetic modified plant

sometimes one of the most expensive components of a soybean production program. Herbicides are a necessity in profitable soybean production. They are‚ however‚ only one component of a weed management program. Weed management is most successful when crop rotation‚ crop competition‚ cultivation‚ and judicious herbicide use are combined in a planned and coordinated program. Herbicides should be used only as needed and only after careful consideration of the weed problems and the impact the weeds will have on
