How come that you have crops between the main crop?
Sometimes producers like to use the "main crop" as a nurse crop for aiding in the growth of another crop like clover, alfalfa, or other grasses that were seeded in along with the nurse crop. The main crop, be it barley or triticale or corn, acts as a kind of protector for the newly establishing plants underneath, and also as a source of nutrition when the main crop is harvested for grain or silage. Once the nurse crop is harvested, then the plants underneath can grow into plants that are intended for hay or pasture use.
What are some risks of genetically engineering plants?
When plants, especially crop plants. are genetically engineered they are completely uniform in all characteristics. They have no genetic diversity. If the crop should be attacked by pests that it has no defense for, all will be affected and perhaps die, and the crop would be totally worthless.
What does cloning crop plants in tissue culture involve?
Cloning of crop plants in tissue culture involves tiny pieces from the parent plant. Sterile agar jelly with plant hormones are needed which makes tissue culture an expensive way of cloning crop plants.
