Question

the first year I planted this field, my crop was perfect! It responded very well to all the fertilizer and water I used – yield was the best ever. Why don’t I get the same yields over time? What has gone wrong with my farming practices? I need to fix this, otherwise I will go bankrupt….”

a) identify five issues with your current farming system,

b) provide one comprehensive solution for each issue identified, and

c) describe your scientific-based reasoning for each solution.

you must show your knowledge on all of the following levels:

gene and proteins (genetics), cellular (physiology), organism (whole plant physiology), cropping system (e.g., population level traits, management practices,modeling), and agroecosystem (e.g., diversity, ecology, climate changes, social and economic issues).

For each of the five issues you must:

a) briefly describe the issue in <50 words

b) describe your solution in <250 words

c) describe your reasoning for the solution in <150 words

Answer 1

ISSUES:-

A. 1. The prize agriculture based on industry (resource depelation )

2. Farm land's are regarding ( land management ) lack of proper irrigation system.

3. Rare connection with the people ( demografic changes ) over Power of man power.

4. The loss or profit or business of food ( political issue) poor economic conditions.

5. For problem in food compromising ( food waste) lack of researchers activity.

B.SOLUTION:-

1. THERE SHOULD BE SOME STEP TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT TO UPLIFT POOR FARMERS.

GOVERNMENT MUST PROVIDE MINIMUM PICES FOR PRODUCTS ,INSURANCES OF CROPS .

2. MODERATE FERTILITY OF SOIL ,HUMIT CLIMATE .

THERE MUST BE MANAGEMENT INTENSITY GRADIENT ONE MUSG DO MECHANICAL CULTIVATION WHICH VONTROL WEEDS .

GROW HERBICIDE RESISTANCE CROP.

ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PROVIDE FOOD AND FUEL PASTE CONTROL SOIL FERTILITY .

MUSG PROVIDE PASTE PROTECTION THROUGH THE SERVICE OF BIO CONTROL.

AGRICULTURAL WATER SHED THE QUALITY OF WATER DRAINING WE ENVIRONMENT CAN BE GREAT TO OUTCOMES PROBLEM.

USE OF NITRATE IS SO GOOD OF SOIL.

GENETICS IS USED TO PROPAGATE VALUABLE HERITABLE TRAIT IT INCREASES CROP PRODECTIVITY .

WITH THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY WHICH IMPROVE A PLANT INSECTS RESISTANCES THEY HAVE THE AVALIBILITY TO TOLERATE DROUGHT , RESISTANCE OF DISEASE .

HELPS FARMER TO INCREASE THE YIELD OF CROPS.

REASONING FOR SOLUTION:-

1. FROM SELECTION OF DROUGHT RESISTANCES CROPS IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY OF AGRICULTURE BASED ON QUALITY AND QUANTITY.

2. THE USE OF PATHOGENS INSECTS OR WEEDS ON CROP MUST BE IN MINIMISING EFFECTS .

3. THE ENVIROMENTAL FACTOR SOIL EROSON SOIL DEGREATION WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT SHOULD BE PREVENT.

4. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE SYSTEM USE OF ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM WGICH IS USED GRATER THAN THAT OF INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURAL .

5. SCIENTIFIC TOOLS AND TECHINQUES ARE USED LIKE GENETIC ENGINEERING , VACCINE, TISSUE CULTURE USED .
