Introduction: Considering the beneficial properties of plants‚ not only to us‚ but the environment as well‚ it is important to understand the nature of Allelopathy and how it affects plant ecology. According to the Topics in Biology Laboratory Manuel‚ allelopathy refers to “the beneficial or harmful effects of one plant on another plant‚ by the release of chemicals from plant parts in both natural and agricultural systems.” By secretion of biochemical materials‚ allelopathy involves a plant’s

Department of Extension Education and Commutation‚ NWFP Agricultural University‚ Peshawar- Pakistan. ABSTRACT Seed priming had increased germination of several plants particularly vegetables. The effect of PEG 8000 concentrations levels i.e. 100‚ 200‚ 300 g liter-1 water‚ water soaked and control (seed not treated) on germination m-2 and plant population hectare-1 at harvest of Mung bean varieties NM-92 and NM-98 seeds treated for 6 and 12 hours and then dried for a whole day in open air at room temperature

observation was the healthiness of the plants. IV. Conclusion Paragraph 1 Recap (Evidence): The purpose of our lab was to see if the amount paper towels would affect the germination of the seeds. My hypothesis was‚ if I increase the amount of paper towels‚ then the germination rate would increase too. We observed the petri dishes in class and we would add 2 ml of water in it every class. We observe and recorded data on the growth and development of the plants‚ the germination rate.

Plant Adaptations and Responses to Salinity Stress Despite the high salt stress applied‚ higher plants are able to adapt to these conditions. Salt exclusion and inclusion by higher plants serve as a response to high salinity. With the capability to exclude the salts‚ negative effects on the entire plant and certain organs are prevented or reduced. Due to the selectively permeable membranes of the plant‚ K+ are absorbed rather than Na+ leading to low Na+ levels and Cl- content in the plant

The Devils Plant Kudzu is a perennial vine of the legume family. It was first introduced to the United States from Japan in 1876 by the United States government to be used as a fast growing ground cover and as a forage crop. It is also very high in nitrogen and actually replaces nitrogen into the soil. A couple things kudzu is good for is to be used as livestock feed‚ in fertilizer‚ herbal remedies‚ teas‚ honey‚ or even some paper products. Although kudzu seemed like a wonder plant‚ the introduction

Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures

Fibonacci’s Rabbits The original problem that Fibonacci investigated (in the year 1202) was about how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits‚ one male‚ one female‚ are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never dieand that the female always produces one new pair (one male‚ one female) every month from the second

Introduction Man has propagated plant material almost as long as he has cultivated the land to produce food. For a long time‚ plant material was propagated mainly by using the seeds of existing plants. Better methods were discovered over time‚ methods that allowed the farmer to retain the desirable qualities of the plant material‚ while eliminating some of the less desirable qualities. Through these methods‚ the farmer was also able to eliminate the variations between plants of the same cultivar and produce

Solutions on Lettuce Seed Germination Introduction In the environment‚ plants are critically affected by the composition of soil‚ as they acquire all nutrients from it. A nutrient must be soluble and must remain soluble long enough in order to travel into the roots of the plant (Kissel and Miller‚ 2008). Soil PH directly affects the life and growth of a plant‚ since it affects the availability of the nutrients needed for plant life. Most nutrients are in their most available state within a PH of 6

Genlisea Violacea is a carnivorous plant that is restricted to the areas of South America and Trinidad. (1). This species can grow when it I half or fully submerged in water. (2) They flourish best in wet habitats‚ such as marshes and swamps. (2) The top part of the trap consists of a descending stolon. (2)About midway down the stolon there is a swollen digestion chamber—the utricle--which makes the descending part of the stolon look somewhat like the neck of an ostrich that has
