Agricultural land use has been expanded in this area similar to the rest of the country
The genesis of 10 cm of soil takes about 2000 years. Through the present, mostly intensive and yield optimized way of land use, erosion and greenhouse gas emission is resulting. Therefore the protection of soil must be an ecological, social and economic issue . However, it is obvious that the increasing global population and interconnectedness …
Hyppolyte also establishes this relationship in review on conductive hearing losses
The reports of ringing in the ears, dizziness and intoxication become relevant in understanding the first signs indicative of injury promoted by pesticides. Thus, in a study about the self-perception of auditory and vestibular health in rural workers in Teresópolis exposed to pesticides, it was stated that in 76% of the subjects, dizziness was reported …
Potato ranks as the third most important food crop after wheat and rice
Consuming diets with appreciable amounts of antioxidants from plant foods, such as tomatoes, to inhibit the oxidative process of low density lipoprotein may be one way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease. One study in relatively healthy individuals and 2 studies in individuals with type 2 diabetes, who are in a relatively pro-oxidant …

GREENBOX can potentially multiply its production capacity by vertical stacking
The mean DLI in the greenhouse was significantly lower than GREENBOX, with average values of 14.52 and 10.44 mol/m2·d over summer and winter, respectively. Thus, the light conditions in the GREENBOX could be consistently regulated at the grower’s discretion for optimal growth. Although the DLI in the GREENBOX showed a slight decline over each growing …

Firm berries are well-suited for mechanical harvesting and long-distance shipping
Cultivars can be combined with early,mid, and late season ripening to extend the harvest season over 6 to 8 weeks.The intended method of harvest also affects cultivar selection, such as mechanical harvesting or hand harvesting . For mechanical harvesting, plants should exhibit concentrated ripening periods, moderate vigor, a moderate number of narrowly upright canes , a large number …

Low-cost safe storage structures for small and interme-diate scale farmers need to be promoted
Plant breeders have been successful in selecting carrot, sweet potato, and tomato cultivars with comparably high carotenoid levels and vitamin A content; onion and tomato cultivars with longer shelf-lives, sweet corn cultivars that maintain their sweetness longer after harvest; cantaloupe and watermelon cultivars with higher sugar content and firmer flesh, etc.. These are just a …
Tomato fruit and its processed products are the principal dietary sources of carotenoids such as lycopene
Therefore disease resistance is most important when the disease is a limiting factor in production, and is especially important for many virus diseases. The high interest in, and the increasing present demand for breeding for disease and pest resistance is related to a generalized interest in releasing “environmentally friendly” vegetable cultivars requiring sparse or no …
Consumers also want more vegetable diversification and a continuous supply
Vegetables make up about 35% of per capita food consumption in China, a much higher share than the world average . Besides India, other southern Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, North and South Vietnam, Laos and Philippines are also high producers and great consumer of vegetables. For example, vegetables comprise 40% of the Bangladeshi …
