(All three are cash crops‚ but the corn also is a feed crop for the cows and the wheat also is used for chicken feed.) The crops are harvested during the late summer and fall. During the winter months‚ John‚ Eunice‚ and Grandpa make a decision about the mix of livestock and crops for the coming year.

The Effects of ECB on Corn Crop Yield Abstract In this experiment we explore the infestation of ECB (European Corn Borer) on different types of corn and how it effects the corn crop yield. The corn is grown in a controlled environment with the only changing variables being the type of corn and the concentrations of the infestation of the ECB. Varying levels of infestation are tested on a corn crop throughout a 140 day growing season‚ at the end of the season the crops are then measured for yield

This particular potato‚ however was overcome by a disease called late blight. Eventually almost the entire potato crop had become diseased leaving behind infertile soil for new crops to grow. With no potatoes the people starved which then caused the population in Ireland to crash (Kniss). No good comes out of taking up crazy amounts of land to plant one crop over and over again. When crops are repeatedly planted in the same place‚ the soil becomes nutrient deficient. The way to introduce these nutrients

What is Afforestation? Afforestation is the process of planting trees‚ or sowing seeds‚ in a barren land devoid of any trees to create a forest. The term should not be confused with reforestation‚ which is the process of specifically planting native trees into a forest that has decreasing numbers of trees. While reforestation is increasing the number of trees of an existing forest‚ afforestation is the creation of a ‘new’ forest. Our Earth has been constantly trying to cope with the way in

It is also an excellent soil builder- it improves the soil texture and moisture retention and lessens soil erosion: the composted sesame leaves left on the soil binds the ground; retains soil moisture better for planting the next crop; increases the yield of the following crop. Sesame is resistant to drought‚ tolerant to insect pests and diseases‚ a low cost crop and therefore
