If a farmer uses only inorganic fertilisers how may the soil organisms be affected? |
| Answer» What are Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers?Organic fertilizers are composed of natural ingredients from plants or animals. Examples include manure and plant parts such as leaves and peanut hulls. COMPOST, a blend of plant debris broken down by natural processes, is also considered a natural or organic fertilizer. Inorganic fertilizers, on the other hand, are manufactured from minerals or synthetic chemicals. Both organic and inorganic fertilizers supplement the soil and feed plants with nutrients. Macronutrients -- those nutrients that plants require in large amounts -- include nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and are listed as percentages on the fertilizer bag.Pros and ConsThere are benefits and what some may consider disadvantages of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Deciding which kind to use may depend on your horticultural situation. According to North Carolina State University, organic matter in natural fertilizers promotes an environment conducive for earthworms and increases the capacity for holding water and nutrients. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly, relying on soil organisms to BREAK down organic matter. A slow-release scenario decreases the risk of nutrient leaching but takes time to supply nutrients to plants. Inorganic fertilizers contain a higher percentage of nutrients and provide them more quickly than organic fertilizers. This is a benefit for plants with a short life span, such as bedding plants, but the concentrated form increases the risk of burning the plant if applied incorrectly, and the quick-release of nutrients may result in soil leaching.Long-term EffectivenessResearch comparing organic and inorganic fertilizers provides compelling evidence that organic fertilizers bolster soil health over the long term. In a study conducted in SWEDEN over 32 years, scientists Artur Granstedt and Lars Kjellenberg REPORTED on the differences in soil structure and crop quality between an organic and inorganic system. They found that soil in the organic system had higher fertility, and organic crops had higher yields and starch content than the inorganic system. In contrast, long-term use of synthetic fertilizers depletes soil organisms of the organic matter they need, states the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. Eventually, these organisms disappear in soils dependent on inorganic fertilizers.Integrated ApproachIt does not have to be either organic or inorganic fertilizer. An integrated approach blends the use of both. A study published in 2009 described the benefits of an integrated system on rice fields in India. The AUTHORS found that a combination of organic and synthetic fertilizers resulted in yields that increased over five years. They concluded that an integrated approach improved the capacity of the soil to supply nutrients. A blend of both organic and inorganic fertilizers may suit your landscape. | |
| 13. |
what kinds of fertilisers gives you greater control over providing minerals for a crop?explain your answer. |
|
Answer» The WORDS “organic” or “natural” in this case SIMPLY means that the PRODUCT is only minimally processed, and the nutrients remain bound up in their natural forms, rather than being extracted and refined. In the case of FERTILIZER, “organic” does NOT refer to the standards of processing associated with food.Organic fertilizer is usually made from plant or animal waste or powdered minerals. Examples include manure and compost, as well as bone and cottonseed meal. They are usually sold as “soil conditioners” rather than as fertilizer, because the nutrient ratios are difficult to guarantee. Organic fertilizers may be processed in a factory, or, in the case of manure and compost, at a farm |

Enlist any 5 to 6 healthy food habits |
|
Answer» Have regular family meals. Respect the meal times. Let it be a bonding time with no other distractionsBreakfast is another great time for a family meal, especially since kids who eat breakfast tend to do better in school. Ensure that your child never skips breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day.Cook more meals at home. Save dining out for SPECIAL occasions.Get kids involved. Children enjoy HELPING adults to shop for groceries, selecting what goes in their lunch box, and preparing dinner. It’s also a chance for you to teach them about the nutritional values of different foods, and (for OLDER children) how to read food labelsMake a variety of HEALTHY snacks available instead of empty calorie snacks. Keep plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grain snacks, and healthy beverages (water, milk, pure fruit juice) around and easily accessible so kids become used to reaching for healthy snacks.Limit portion sizes. Don’t insist your child cleans the plate, and never use food as a reward or bribe.Picky eaters are going through a normal developmental stage, exerting control over their environment and expressing concern about trusting the UNFAMILIAR. Many picky eaters also prefer a “separate compartmented plate,” where one type of food doesn’ttouch another. |

what is the effect DNA copying, which is not perfectly accurate, on the reproduction? How does the amount of DNA remain constant though each new generation is a combination of DNA copies of two individuals? |
|
Answer» Before a cell divides, its nucleus must DIVIDE. But before that happens, the chromosomes must have become double. So the first stage is that DNA which the chromosomes CONTAIN must replicate , i.e. become double, by MAKING copies of itself.The 2 strands of the DNA double helix can separate, under the influence of special enzymes in the nucleus, but each half remains attached along its length, like the 2 sections of a zip, because the sides of the strands are strongly joined.Each strand then acts as a basis for rebuilding the missing other strand from which it has been separated. It is said that each strand forms a template on which it reforms its complementary strand. Enzymes within the nucleus match the appropriate base, which is already attached to strand side subunits, so that A fits against T, G against C, T against A and C against G, according to shape.Other possibilities are not allowed, so the copying process is accurate in the vast majority of cases.The result is that one double strand is converted into two identical double strands.It is interesting to note that each "new" double strand is in fact half composed of a section of the previous DNA molecule, together with a completely new section built up from INDIVIDUAL bases. Because of this, it is called semi-conservative replication. |
