Crop Production, Crop And Animal Protection Flashcards
Is an agricultural practice in which the same crop is planted year after year on the same land
Mono cropping or monoculture
Growing two or more crops simultaneously in different strips wide enough to permit independent cultivation but narrow enough for the crops to interact
Strip intercropping
Plants that lives more than two years
Perennial
Biennial - two
Annual- one
Is the practice of growing series of different types of crops in the same area
Crop rotation
A portion of an aerial stem grow roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant
Layering
Naming classification or relationships of plants
Plant Taxonomy / Systematics
Study of fossil plants
Paleobotany
Plants that grow on a small scale garden
Garden crops
(Onion, beans, pechay)
Is a fruit which some of the flesh is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel
Accessory fruit or false fruit
Simple- single pistil
Aggregate - single flower with many ovaries
Multiple - from group of tightly clustered flowers
Is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same piece of land during a single growing season
Multi cropping - single growing season
- two or more crops
Study of the relationship between people and plants
Economic Botany
Female reproductive part in plant flowers?
Carpel
Male - Stamen
Study of plant physical form and it’s external Structures
Plant morphology
It is the protein manufacturing in plant cell?
Ribosomes
Nucleus - contains the chromosomes
Crops use to protect soil for erosion?
Cover crops
Catch crop- reduce nutrient leaching
Trap crops- trap pests
Alley crops- arable crops grown in alley
Crops that seedlings are raises in nursery, pulled out and planted in the field
Transplanted crops
Direct seed crop- sown directly
Planted crop- plant part is planted directly
The planting of diverse series of plants differing in heights, branching, characteristics, shade, tolerance, use and nutrients needs such as different plants will grow under one another
Multistory cropping
It involves the use of very tiny tissue or even cell called an explant which is grown under sterile condition in the defined medium
Tissue Culture/ micropropagation
Deals with the heredity and variation within plants
Plant Genetics
Growing two or more crops simultaneously where one or more crops are planted in rows
Row Intercropping
Growing two or more crops simultaneously with no distinct row arrangement
Mixed cropping
Is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity
Intercropping
- Row
- Relay - life cycle ( a second crop is planted after the first crop has reached its reproductive stage but before it is ready for the harvest)
- Mixed
- Strip
Plant propagation using vegetative parts of the mother plants
Asexual propagation
Sexual - through seeds and spores
Involves the joining of different segments of two different plants of the same species
Grafting
Crops that are grown in a vast scale under field condition and mostly seasonal
Field crops
On average, how many years does pig lives?
15 years
Branch of zoology which deals with insects and how they interact with the environment and other species
Entomology
Most destructive rice insect?
Green and brown plant hopper
Is the science that deals with the form and structure of all organisms
Anatomy
Gross Anatomy - can be seen by naked eye
Histology - can be seen only with a microscope
Study of the integrated functions of the body and functions of all its parts including biophysical and chemical processes
Physiology
Organism which have no chlorophyll that produces mycelium
Fungi
Seeds, tubers, and roots are usually treated with a chemicals to prevent their decay after planting
Seed treatment
Most destructive insect in the Philippines recently
Fall Armyworm
(Spodoptera frugiperda SF)
Before: Asia Corn Borer
(Ostrinia Funacalis OF)
