* NCERT 1. Reproduction in Organisms INTRODUCTION Biology in essence is the story of life on earth. While individual organisms die without fail‚ species continue to live through millions of years unless threatened by natural or anthropogenic extinction. Reproduction becomes a vital process without which species cannot survive for long. Each individual leaves its progeny by asexual or sexual means. Sexual mode of reproduction enables creation of new variants‚ so that survival advantage is enhanced

rated based on the percentage of nitrogen‚ phosphorous and potassium‚ using a rubric called NPK. The amount of nitrogen will encourage growth of stems and leaves by promoting protein and chlorophyll. More flowers‚ larger fruits and healthier roots and tubers will result from added phosphorus‚ which also helps plants resist certain diseases. Finally‚ potassium thickens stems and leaves by fostering protein development. This means‚ for example‚ that vegetables would do better with an NPK ratio that is different

Common C3 crops are small grain cereals (wheat‚ rice‚ barley‚ oat‚ and rye); grain legumes or pulses (soybean‚ peanut‚ various beans and peas); root and tuber crops (potato‚ cassava‚ sweet potato‚ sugar beet‚ yams); most oil‚ fruit‚ nut‚ vegetable‚ and crops; and temperate-zone (cool-climate) forage and grassland species.
