- How are the energy requirements used in hydroponic farming versus conventional farming? What are your biggest takeaways from this data? Is hydroponics a viable (possible) agricultural method globally, or just for urban (city) areas? Why or why not? How is it a solution to specific urban challenges?arrow_forwardPlants vary widely in how they allocate biomass to roots, leaves and stems. Two key measures of plant allocation in an ecosystem context are leaf area index (LAI) and the root to shoot ratio. a) Define each of these measures and discuss how variation in each measure can influence net primary production (NPP). b) Pick one of the measures and discuss how and why you would expect it to vary in relation to an abiotic factor of your choice. Underline the abiotic factor you choose.arrow_forwardCreate a crop plan for three seasons of Bio-Intensive Gardening using the following crops: camote, radish, carrot, tomato, pechay, okra, mungbean, upland kangkong, sweet corn, sitao, mustard, and cowpea.

- If you have an orchard and less availability of water then which irrigation method you will adopt for better plant growth and profit maximization? Please please answer thatarrow_forwardWhat is minimum tillage for farming?arrow_forwardThe practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields. First, a plant without a nitrogen-fixing relationship, such as corn, is planted. After the harvest, a nitrogen-fixing plant replaces the initial crop. Instead of harvesting the nitrogen-fixing plant, however, it is plowed under. The cycle continues in this manner. Why would nitrogen-fixing plants be plowed under instead of harvested? * To increase water retention. Nitrogen-fixing plants are not a food crop. To increases usable nitrogen in the soil. To decrease bacteria in the soil.arrow_forward
