RUBBER Area planted increased by 7.53% in 2010. From 128.34 thousand hectares in 2009‚ it expanded to 138 thousand hectares in 2010. The number of mature trees increased to 39.36 million trees from 37.21 million trees in 2009. While the dry spell led to lower production in 1H2010‚ high demand and prices induced more tappings in the 2H2010. Consequently‚ production increased by 1.09% from 390.96 thousand MT in 2009 to 395.24 thousand MT in 2010. Zamboanga Peninsula led in rubber production in 2010

Kharif crop progress October 03‚ 2012 The kharif crops are sown and harvested during the monsoon season which runs from June to September and is critical for overall food production for the entire year. This report tracks the area under cultivation for different kharif crops and gives a fair estimate of production for the year 2012-13. Assumptions: The production estimates for 2012 kharif crops are based on the linear regression model in which production is the dependent variable while area

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create

Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. Genetic engineering techniques

Influences of Fiber Optics Introduction: People have been trying to improve communications over the centuries. Communication plays a very important role in everyday life. The advancement of the world mostly depends on how we share the information with the rest of the world. Fiber optics is making this task easier and quicker. It is currently the fastest internet technology. Fiber optic is a technology of transmitting light through very thin flexible glass or plastic fibers. It is one of the fastest

HISTORY OF FIBER OPTICS * In 1840‚ Daniel Colladon and Jacques Babinet demonstrated the principle of guiding light by refraction. * It was followed by a public demonstration by John Tyndal in 1852. In 1870‚ Tyndal wrote about the property of total internal reflection in his book about the nature of light. * In 1880‚ Alexander Graham Bell and Sumner Tainter invented the Photophone‚ a device capable of transmitting sound waves over beam of light. This is considered as mankind’s first attempt

CASH CROPS OF PAKISTAN INTRODUCTION Rice is the most important cereal grown globally and the major staple food for about half of the world population‚ providing 23% of the worldwide calorie intake. Around 600 million tons of rice is produced globally each year. With in the next 20 years‚ this production needs to increase by 20 to 30% to satisfy the demand of an expanding population in Asia‚ Africa and Latin America. Hybrid rice is expected to play a major role in breaking the

Fiber optic communication ABSTRACT FIBRE-OPTICS COMMUNICATION Most reference materials that discuss the historical perspective mention about Indian smoke signals. None of these primitive systems was secure due to the spreading of the unguided light. Ideally‚ a communication system should be secure and should not require installation of a cumbersome physical media. Fiber optics satisfied these desires‚ and as early as 1958‚ fiber-optic equipment was being focused for use in the factory. The fiber-optic

FIBER TO THE HOME: THE NEW EMPOWERMENT abstract: In order to offer future higher bandwidth applications‚ the choice for a fiber to the home (FTTH) network seems to be the best candidate. Still‚ as the full deployment of a new FTTH network involves tremendous civil works and costs‚ only the highly profitable areas‚ e.g. city centers‚ are currently being installed. With the installation of such FTTH networks‚ all involved parties stay with many questions. What will the future bring on demands from
