seems an alarming task. People are becoming insensitive towards plants and animals thereby harming our ecosystem. As a student‚ what have you done to protect our environment? Do you know why we need to conserve our wildlife? We must make a conscious effort to conserve the world’s plants and animals. Plants are essential for our own survival. Plants use the sun’s energy to make food—a process called photosynthesis. Therefore plants are the first important link in the food chain of which humans

process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and water to partake in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is crucial to the survival of the plant and all organisms that rely on the plant for food as it enables the plant to produce

Allium spp. responded with growth promotion on AMF inoculation. Onion plants inoculated with AMF (Glomus intraradices or Glomus versiforme) grown in pots with mineral soil with higher biomass than non-inoculated plants and reached marketable size (>25 mm bulb diameter) 1-2 weeks earlier than those (5). These AMF inoculation causes bulb development of onions (5). Mycorrhizal inoculation lead to 22% increase yields of onions compared to controls. Mixed application of mycorrhizal inoculation‚ humic

Venus Flytrap Dionaea muscipula is a carnivorous plant that is native to North America and more specifically the southeastern parts of the United States. Most people know Dionaea muscipula by its common name‚ Venus Flytrap. The Venus flytrap is found mostly in North and South Carolina with a radius of about 60 miles from Wilmington‚ North Carolina. Although the Venus flytrap is native to this region‚ over the years people have transplanted the plant to Florida and Washington where they continue to

described as a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant where both the fungus and the plant benefit from this interaction. Endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae are the two main types of mycorrhizae that produce the same overall results‚ but with different fungal characteristics. This study examines the effects of mycorrhizae on the growth of the rapid-grow radish‚ Brassica rapa. Germination rates and flowering rates of the plants were observed to determine if the mycorrhizal treatment benefitted

flowering plant requires minor elements or micronutrients besides the chemical or organic fertilizers. These micronutrients help the plant in many ways‚ such as give more numbers of flowers‚ larger flower size and good luster of the petals. The above diagram shows symptoms associated with deficiency (shortage) of each micronutrient in the plant. If your plant has any micronutrient deficiencies‚ it will warn you by showing these symptoms on the leaves and will eventually affect the plant in serious
