🗑
What material is routinely added to soils to adjust pH level (generally added to acid soils to increase pH, and thus lower [H] in the soil)? +   show
🗑
show plants have chloroplasts that absorb light energy to make food. they absorb red light and blue light but not green light so the color green is reflected.  
🗑
show lodging: the tendency for a plant to become top-heavy and fall over. Caused by excess fertilizer, water, high plant population, insects, disease, or genetic factors  
🗑
Briefly the role of photoperiod sensitivity in crop adaptation in a north-south vs. east-west direction, especially as it applies in a historical   show
🗑
show there is a linear relationship between these. As the leaf area index and % solar interception go up, so does the dry matter. A study in the 1960's found that my decreasing row spacing you could achieve more solar interception and more dry matter

Of the following, the only plant parts that are involved in asexual reproduction are the   show
🗑
show Stamens and Pistil  
🗑
A vegetatively-growing crop plant is subjected to a 13.5 hour photoperiod, which is increased by 1/2 hour each week. When the photoperiod reaches 15 hours, the plant starts to flower. This plant species would be   show

🗑
The majority of carbon found on earth is in the form of   show
🗑
The main function of stolons is   show
🗑

show The shift from ice-ages to a warmer climate and development of religions  
🗑
show any plant used by man for any useful purpose  
🗑
Subsistence   show
🗑
show moving as resources were depleted (no land ownership)  
🗑
Commercial Agriculture   show
🗑
show like rangeland for cattle or dryland wheat production. inputs are low, not a lot of potential profit  
🗑
show vegetable production, a lot of investment with a lot of monetary return. example: peanut production  
🗑
Early Crops of Southwest Asia (Iraq)   show
🗑
show rice, sugarcane, coconut, tea, citrus, and soybean  
🗑
Early Crops of the Americas   show
🗑
show sorghum, okra, yam, watermelon  
🗑
Thomas Malthus   show
🗑
What portion of the Earth is land?   show
🗑
show flowering plants, appeared in the early cretaceous  
🗑
show embryo with one cotyledon, fibrous roots, parallel leaf veination. example: grasses, lily, orchid, banana, yam  
🗑
show two cotyledons, taproot system, net veination. example: cotton, legumes, sweet potato, pepper  
🗑
Poaceae   show
🗑
Fabaceae   show
🗑
show night shade family example: potato, pepper, tomato, tobacco  
🗑
Taproot   show
🗑
Fibrous roots   show
🗑
roots   show
🗑
nutrient   show
🗑
show bacteria feed off of plant sugars and in return give the plant nitrogen  
🗑
show grass with a hollow stem like rice  
🗑
Stalk   show
🗑
Nodes   show
🗑
show lateral, above ground stems (turfgrass, strawberries)  
🗑
show lateral below ground stems  
🗑
Crown   show
🗑
Tubers   show
🗑
Bulb   show
🗑
show similar to a bulb but has less leaf tissue  
🗑
Apical Dominance   show
🗑
show prevents lateral node production, but as the plant grows taller, the less effective the hormone is so you see lateral growth, thus the Christmas Tree shape. even if you bend the plant over this will still occur
