Plants are trained so they initially grow vertically, being supported by poly twines attached to a plant support cable approximately 3m tall. When the plants grow until their growing tips reach near plant support cables they have to be lowered and leaned horizontally, and 102 only raised back to a height approximately 12cm tall, making sure that no fruits or leaves are touching the ground after plants are lowered. Tomato plants will require pruning every 3-4 days.
Lower leaf removal, de-suckering, de-flowering and, cluster pruning, are best done before leaning and lowering. The use of a fungicide to spray or paint unto open wounds on the stem after these activities is recommended.
The grower must maintain a good fruit to leaf ratio making sure there are enough leaves to manufacture sufficient food, leaves to support the transpiration process, and to provide

It first appears as a sunken, brownish black spot 12 to 25mm in diameter on the blossom end of the fruit. These spots may gradually increase in size. Although BER itself causes only local injury, secondary organisms frequently invade the lesion and cause complete rotting of the fruit. It often occurs in rapidly developing fruit during periods of hot, dry weather and tends to have the greatest impact on the earliest maturing fruit. BER is caused by a calcium deficiency that is related to wide fluctuations in available moisture. To prevent BER, maintain a steady rate of plant growth without stress. A consistent and ample supply of moisture can reduce the problem by helping to maintain a steady flow of calcium from the growing medium to the fruit. Mulching also will help by conserving soil moisture. BER is more serious when an excess of nitrogen fertiliser has been applied. If BER occurs, remove the affected fruit so that later-maturing fruit will develop normally. Blossom End Rot. (Sources: The Garden of Eaden.

Life began in a garden.(BS) When a gardener fills his canvas, the garden roots itself in the gardener. Each garden reflects the most intimate details and struggles of the gardener. The outward appearances of the characters lack depth, but the gardens that they each create or show endless details of their genuine selves. (COMPOUND) Gail Tsukiyama, the author of Samurai’s Garden, gives each of the main characters a garden that mends and heals each of them as much as they grow their gardens. Matsu encourages Sachi to create her own garden.
Another important criterion in helping the intern to assess the ripeness of the fruit is true assessment of the stem composition. When the grapes are ripe, the stem will turn brown, the berry will also soften due to depolymerization and arrest of xylem, thus stop transportation of nutrient, sugar and water to berry. Other than that, interns could also test the grapes before deciding whether or not the grapes clusters are ready to be harvested. When the grapes are matured, it would have optimal flavor, juicy sweet pulp with low acid, intense fruitiness aroma, weak astringent and dark crunchy berry with weak
Death is the unavoidable part of our daily lives. In the poems, “Shrike Tree” by Lucia Perillo and “Plums Falling Well” by Linda Gregg, the poets discussed the plot with an accepting attitude towards death because it is part of the natural life cycle. In our society, we tend to hide and avoid death; However, Shrikes and the plums in the poems face death with an open manner. Their attitudes towards death indicate the shrikes and plums are not afraid to die.
During the 18th century there was many technology advances some that changed society in a positive manner and some that influenced negatively. In 1800 Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, this invention helped the industry in a positive way. The cotton gin was able to remove the seeds from cotton in a more timely manner. In the United States the removal of the seeds from cotton was done by slaves,with the ability to remove the seeds faster it helped to put an end to slavery.
Melinda describes her tree: “My last tree looked like it had died from some fungal infection- not the effect I wanted at all” (Anderson 92).
There are few vegetables and fruits that turns to the color brown if their surface is exposed to oxygen. Once the veggies or fruits been exposed to oxygen, then the browning begins to appear, and electrons and hydrogen will be removed. This happens because of an enzyme called catechol oxidase. The enzyme will act on its substrate catechol to form a yellow compound which then reacts with the oxygen in the air and change into benzoquinone. The more concentration of the enzyme, the more browning appears.

Divinity, adieu! - Pg. 5, Dr. Faustus The motif is further expanded in the allusion to Paradise Lost by alliteration, where “blissful seat” from Paradise Lost is reinterpreted as “brittle step” (line 5, Paradise Lost). Paradise Lost is a text which analyses man’s fall, therefore, an allusion to this text when discussing a human enveloped in the comfort and pleasure of a garden is highly foreboding.
This phase, “Garden of Eden,” means it is a forbidden fruit and he is relating to the invention of apple products. However, the poet uses apples and blackberries in his poem to metaphorically relate them to products that people have established. It shows that he is using his creative thinking to contribute to fruits into technology phases. The words that he often uses are mostly media related, for instance, Facebook and digital. Those words are connected because in the internet world, we frequently use Facebook, twitter, and instagram and he wants his audience to open up their mind on how this matter of networks can cause an illusion.
Herbal products have been used for treatments since ancient times, before the exploration of synthetic industrial drugs. Since herbs are natural, most of the consumers believes herbal products are completely safe and the product use continuously increased and is reported 10-19% growth in United States. In U.S.A any botanical product affects the structure and functions of the body belongs to either a drug or dietary supplement and FDA regulates the dietary supplement. The author of this paper selected St. John’s wort ,as the herbal supplement for this assignment of patient educational flyer.

Introduction: “Sustainable agriculture is the efficient production of safe high quality agricultural products, in a way that protects and improves the natural environment the social and economic conditions of farmers their employees and local communities and safe guard the health and welfare of all farmed species“ There are three main principles of sustainable agriculture, the three principles are: 1. Economic sustainability 2. Environmental sustainability 3. Social sustainability With the human population continuing to rise, it is vital that the agricultural industry becomes more sustainable to meet the needs of the growing population. One of the impacts of this growing population is an increase in land usage for settlement purposes.
Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
ADVANTAGES OF GM FOODS World population is increasing day by day which implies scarcity of food will be the major challenge that the world will be facing in the future. Genetically modified foods can meet this rising need. 1)STRONG GROWTH: GMO is typically designed to have a faster growth. It can be grown in any harsh environment; each seed is improved to be stronger and can withstand herbicides and pesticides.
