Classification of tropical‚ sub-tropical and acid zone fruit – area and production – scope and importance. Climate is of fundamental importance in the development of fruit cluster. Fruit has been a major food for mankind from time immemorial. Primitive man‚ the food habit was based mainly on fruits and also tubers which were found wild in the forests. In fact Adam who is considered to be the progenitor of man was said to have temptingly given the apple. In Ramanaya and Mahabaratha the cultivation

For example‚ in Queensland a deep‚ fertile clay soil is suitable for intensive agriculture but a shallow‚ sandy soil is better suited to grazing and growing native trees. The suitability of a soil for a particular purpose can often be

What Is Soil Pollution? Soil pollution comprises the toxic waste of soils with resources‚ mostly chemicals that are out of place or are present at concentrations advanced than normal which may have unpleasant effects on humans or other organisms. However‚ soil pollution is also caused by resources other than the undeviating addition of man-made chemicals such as undeveloped runoff waters‚ industrial waste materials‚ acidic precipitates‚ and radioactive clash. Both organic and inorganic contaminants

Energy Conservation Jessica Goode Axia College of University of Phoenix We all use energy each and every day. We use energy for entertainment‚ cooking‚ transportation‚ lighting‚ heating‚ cooling‚ manufacturing‚ as well as many other things. According to the Webster Dictionary (2009)‚ energy is defined as just being active. If that is truly the case‚ then anytime we are doing anything we are being active and using up energy. Shouldn’t we try to conserve more energy if that is the case? According

TYPES OF SOIL TYPE OF SOIL FORMATION CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AREAS CROPS ALLUVIAL SOIL They are because of deposition of silt brought down by rivers Rich in minerals such as potash‚ phosphoric acid and lime. These soils also extend in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Found in the deltas of Mahanadi‚ Kaveri‚ Krishna‚ Godavari rivers hence are called deltaic soil.

Tutor: Date: Foundation Engineering Soil exploration obtains information about the subsurface parameters and conditions at the proposed Soil exploration as part of site investigation. In general‚ it deals with determining the suitability of the site for proposed construction. This consists of determining the profile of the soil deposits at and near the site. It mainly consists of taking the soil samples and checking the engineering properties of the soil and testing it in Situ. It then gets to

Soil erosion is a major concern in the southeastern region of Nigeria due to high population densities and farming techniques‚ which has resulted in the presence of numerous gullies. While gullies are found all around the world‚ the existence of gullies in Nigeria is regarded as one of the worst environment disasters‚ having negative implications on the environment and the quality of life for humans and other species (Adetona & Ezezika‚ 2011; Ajaegwu & al‚ 2010). Large quantities of soil in Nigeria

October 20‚ 2014 1st Period Mr.MayesSoil Texture Lab Report Introduction Soil texture is one of the most important physical properties of soils. Soil texture is related to a number of important soil characteristics such as water holding capacity‚ soil drainage‚ and soil fertility. In order to make this lab work to our own convenience we will use soil from our nearby area. This project was conducted to specify what type of soil there is in the area and what it can be used for.
