The factors affecting plant yield: light level Abstract The factors affecting Zea mays‚ maize (C4) and Pisum sativa‚ or pea (C3) plant yield and growth patterns placed under shade and full sunlight were investigated. 20 plantlets placed into four vermiculite compost pots (5 from each plantlet) and submitted to fertilizer or no fertilizer. And after 4 weeks the results showed that maize grown in light with no fertilizer had a higher relative growth rate and root to shoot ratio indicating the allocation

TRADITIONAL DYE PLANTS OF MANIPUR Sanjeev Rana Knitwear Department‚ National Institute of Fashion Technology Abstract Manipur is one of the richest states in plant biodiversity in the North Eastern states of India. Different ethnic groups‚ residing in Manipur before the introduction of the chemical dyes into the state‚ used the dyes extracted from the plants. Women in Manipur practice dyeing using varieties of plant leaves‚ flowers and tree barks. The natural dyes were obtained from plants and have

This paper is about how the plant cells and solar cells are similar to each other as well as how they are different to one another. In addition this paper explains how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the plant and solar cells system. Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and

Built in 1923 as a coal-powered operation‚ the High Bridge plant‚ along with Riverside in Minneapolis‚ once formed the hub of Northern States Power Company‚ a predecessor to Xcel Energy. The original plant was replaced with a new natural gas fired generating facility starting in 2005 as part of Xcel Energy’s Metro Emission Reduction Project. The coal-fired plant was retired in 2007 and the new facility came on line in May 2008. (High Bridge Generating Station) One interesting feature about the

How Does Climate Change Affect Plants? Historical climate change has had a profound effect on current biogeography‚ so we can expect our ongoing and rapid climate change‚ to have as great an effect. Climate change has important implications for nearly every aspect of life on Earth‚ and effects are already being felt. * Temperatureeffects–average‚ minimum or maximum can be important determinants of plant distribution For example the Palmae/Arecaceae are cold intolerant as their single meristem

Plant-Animal Coevolution Evolution Charles Darwin gave what could be described as a loose definition of evolution when he wrote “descent with modification” (Darwin‚ 1859). Evolution is defined more specifically as a change in the genetic composition of a population‚ from generation to generation (Reece et al.‚ 2011). In this investigation into coevolution‚ in particular plant-animal coevolution‚ the adaptations and reasons for these adaptations in a specific example of plant-animal coevolution will

sulfate is a considerable waste produce of this process. Ca3 (PO4)2 + 2H2SO4 → Ca (H2PO4)2 + 2CaSO4Superphosphate used world wide by as a fertilizer the farming industry and gardeners. It increases plant production by as much as 106% as long as the plants are getting the required amount of water for normal plant growth. Super phosphate does little if nothing if there is no rain or agitation so farms living in low rain fall areas tend to use other non water depended fertilizer. It was really bought to the

Biomass power plant boiler project Numerous biomass boiler projects in Europe. German and Austrian plant constructors have built up their technological leadership in Europe in this area over the last few years. A type of formula power plant with certain standard components has become established and has been a real success on the export market. For this reason we adapted at an early stage to certain boiler sizes and developed the steam turbine to be able to equip even power plants of between 1.5
