Algae-organisms are unicellular or simple Abstract— multicellular body plant that is able to manufacture their own food material by photosynthesis.
Irrigation may be defined as the application of water to soil for the purpose of supplying the moisture essential for plant growth. Irrigation plays a vital role in increasing crop yields and stabilizing production.
LabBench Activity Key Concepts Diffusion. Molecules are in constant motion and tend to move from regions where they are in higher concentration to regions where …
LabBench Activity Calculating Water Potential. Water potential is calculated using the following formula: Water potential (Ψ) = pressure potential (Ψ p) + solute potential (Ψ s)
Chelates add nutrients to soil, reduce chlorosis, and make plants grow better, but are these claims really true? What is the best chelate for your soil?
Drought stress tolerant microbes have ability to enhance plant growth and development under water deficient condition. Microbes have evolved, adapt and/or develop a tolerance mechanism to survive under low water potential ().
Desalination is a process that extracts mineral components from saline water.More generally, desalination refers to the removal of salts and minerals from a target substance, as in soil desalination, which is an issue for agriculture.
Salinity refers to the concentration of salts in water or soil. While salt is a natural feature of the Murray-Darling Basin’s landscapes and rivers — derived from ancient ocean sediments, the weathering of rocks and deposition by rainfall over millions of years — high salinity can reduce crop yields, affect aquatic ecosystems and
An arbuscular mycorrhiza (plural mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas, a.k.a. endomycorrhiza) is a type of mycorrhiza in which the fungus (AM fungi, or AMF) penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are the soil bacteria inhabiting around/on the root surface and are directly or indirectly involved in promoting plant growth and development via production and secretion of various regulatory chemicals in the vicinity of rhizosphere.
