    The experiment showed that weed killers have a negative effect on the growth and health of plants. The growth and health of plants treated with weed killer when placed in different settings—under the shade and under direct sunlight—were greatly affected. The temperature, humidity, rain, and wind all affected how well the weed killer worked on the plants experimented. Though the plants were treated with weed killer once and watered with tap water after the treatment, the weed killer left residue on the plants that caused stagnant growth. The higher the concentration of weed killer treated on the plants, the greater the effect the weed killers have on the health and growth of plants. With this, it means that crops treated with weed killers in…

    Moreover, crop losses from insect pests can be staggering, resulting in devastating financial loss for farmers and starvation in developing countries. Farmers typically use many tons of chemical pesticides annually. Consumers do not wish to eat food that has been treated with pesticides because of potential health hazards, and run-off of agricultural wastes from an excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers can poison the water supply and cause harm to the environment. Growing GMF can help eliminate the application of chemical pesticides and reduce the cost of bringing a crop to market. Besides that, for some crops, it is not cost-effective to remove weeds by physical means such as tilling, so farmers will often spray large quantities of different herbicides to destroy weeds, a time-consuming and expensive process, that requires care so that the herbicide doesn't harm the crop plant or the environment. Crop plants…

    M1 was sampled from a vegetable farm in Malacca and known to have developed twofold resistance to herbicide ammonium-glufosinate based on the previous research by Adam et al. (2010). Likewise, K2, B2 and J1 were collected from oil palm plantations which were heavily applied with glyphosate and ammonium-glufosinate for weed control. Detection of genes involved in herbicide resistance by SRAP markers may have influenced grouping of these ecotypes.…

    The most important food crop in the Philippines is rice, a staple food in most of the country. It is produced all throughout Luzon, the Western Visayas, Southern Mindanao, and Central Mindanao. 9.5 billion tons of palay were produced in 1989 almost. In 1990 palay, which caused a 27 percent value added in agriculture and 3.5 percent of GNP. Per hectare yields have generally been low in comparison with other Asian countries. Since the mid-1960s, however, yields have increased substantially as a result of the cultivation of high-yielding varieties developed in the mid-1960s at the International Rice Research Institute located in the Philippines. The proportion of "miracle" rice in total output rose from zero in 1965-66 to 81 percent in 1981-82. Average productivity increased to 2.3 tons per hectare (2.8 tons on irrigated farms) by 1983. By the late 1970s, the country had changed from a net importer to a net exporter of rice, albeit on a small scale.…
