Importance of the crop in various climates I.1 General Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual legume which is also known as peanut‚ earthnut‚ monkeynut and goobers. It is the 13th most important food crop and 4th most important oilseed crop of the world. Groundnut seeds (kernels) contain 40-50% fat‚ 20-50 % protein and 10-20 % carbohydrate. Groundnut seeds are a nutritional

In 2007 58.6 % over one half of the world’s soybean crop was genetically modified. Soybeans are the most genetically modified crop in the world. 40 million tonnes of soy material has been used has been imported in 2007 by the EU states. Scientists modify soybeans for many different reasons. Scientists modify soybeans so tocopherol levels

Considering this‚ full frame lenses have a bigger image circle than the image circle on crop lenses. This is the key difference between these two lens types and we have seen this in the many examples of cropped vs full frame. As I said earlier‚ full frame lenses have no problem adjusting to cropped sensors because the image circle is big anyway. On the other hand‚ if you were to put a cropped lens on a full frame sensor the image circle would be too small to cover the entire sensor and‚ as a result

is not that simple. Since farming has transformed‚ larger operations are taking away a lot of the mom and pop farms‚ and making them big industrial farms. Another change is the restaurant industry‚ which grew in the 1950s‚ causing the need for more crops‚ but in a shorter amount of time (Shmaefsky 37).

vegetables. To satisfy hunger‚ cultivation of crops was discovered as a better way to secure food of a family. However‚ crop improvement has resulted to cultivation of crops that perform well even under hot climate of tropical areas which are typical for most cities in the Philippines. The challenge to find alternatives and practical ways of growing crops is pursued because of the rapid urbanization rate of the country that leads to minimal space for growing crops. It is also noticeable that the vegetables

Summary of three articles A. GMO FACTS What are GMOs? - Genetically modified organisms are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering‚ or GE. - This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant‚ animal‚ bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. - To withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. - GMO is accompanied by

Genetically modifying crops improve their cold tolerance. Unexpected frost can destroy sensitive seedlings. An antifreeze gene from cold water fish has been introduced into plants such as tobacco and potato and strawberries. With this antifreeze gene‚ these plants are able to tolerate cold temperatures that normally would kill unmodified seedlings. Because the plants can survive in harsher conditions that they previously couldn’t have‚ the farmers are able to harvest more crops to feed the growing

The continuous dust storms destroyed any and all means of economic growth. The dwindling economy affected everything around it‚ including the crops‚ citizens‚ government‚ and political leaders. During the plot‚ these factors represent symbiotic relationships because they either help or hinder each other. Each of

It is not only a food source for humans but for livestock as well. Corn production‚ especially as a renewable source of energy‚ holds much promise and places hope that this once dwindling cash crop might bring new financial returns and sustainability to an agricultural industry marked with continual shifts in supply and demand.
