What is a ratoon crop?
It is a shoot from the root of the plant after the main plant has been cropped. Sugar cane is a good example, as is rice, but the production is poor. The ratoon crop will promote pests and should be plowed in.
What is a vedgabl4e?

What is disease resistance in crops?
Just like animals, plants can develop some diseases, such as the mosaic virus, verticillium wilt, etc. Some varieties of a plant are naturally resistant to those diseases. This is a valued trait, and plants may be bred that retain that characteristic. This prevents losing an entire crop when a plant disease sweeps through a field. Remember the famine in Ireland was caused by a plant disease that killed most of the potato crop in Ireland.
What is the application of biometry in agriculture?
Biometry is utilized in agriculture for tasks like plant breeding, crop yield prediction, disease detection, and soil analysis. By collecting and analyzing data on plant characteristics, environmental factors, and genetic information, biometry helps improve crop production efficiency, disease resistance, and overall agricultural sustainability.
Define plant crop anatomy and physiology?
Plant crop anatomy is the study of how plants are structured. Plant crop physiology is the study of fundamental processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, and hormones in plants.
Why does killing insects on crops increase crop yield?
the insects don't eat/ damage crops and it allows to kill insects carrying plant disease.
What was one cause of increased immigration in the 1840?
Disease damaged the potato crop in Ireland.
Is cotton a crop plant?
Yes, cotton is a cash crop plant that is planted in monoculture for harvest and sale.
What has the author Raoul A Robinson written?

A corn plant producing ears of corn is an example of?
Plant sexual reproduction. The kernels on the cob inside the ear are the seeds that produce the next season's crop.
What phylum of worms can infect plant roots and cause disease?
Nematodes are a phylum of worms that can infect plant roots and cause disease. These parasitic roundworms can disrupt the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water, leading to stunted growth, wilting, and ultimately plant death if left untreated. Management strategies include crop rotation, using resistant plant varieties, and applying nematicides.
