Introduction Natural pigments are organic molecules derived from plants, animals, or minerals that impart color to various materials. They have been used for centuries in art, textiles, and cosmetics, but their potential in material research has recently gained significant attention due to their sustainability and unique properties. Types and Properties of Natural Pigments Natural pigments ...

Photoperiodism The photoperiod, this is used as a signal for the plant to flower. Many flowering plants (angiosperms) use a photoreceptor protein, such as phytochromeor cryptochrome, to sense seasonal changes in night length, The Phytochrome conversion (Pfr to Pr) allows the plant to sense when it is night or day. Phytochrome Conversion The biologically-inactive form of ...
By Dylan Fox: Dylan is a student from the University of Western Sydney and we are delighted to carry this story As more people become interested in their food they become more conscious about the farmers they support. Thus, a growing trend of urban farms is developing to satiate the demand for highly-nutritious fruits and vegetables. With the misnomer that people must own land to farm ...
The competition between vegetable producers, high production costs, expensive seeds and many other factors, mean that vegetable producers want to provide optimal conditions for their cropping. They want to get the best product that will meet the high customer’s needs. In addition to investing in seeds, fertilizers and plant protection products, you need the suitable equipment. This will ...
Will Hutchinson enjoys a good challenge, especially when it comes to improving production on his row crop, wheat and alfalfa farm near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. So when he saw the opportunity to leverage Ag Leader’s Hydraulic Down Force system to prevent a common problem and improve his planting operations on acres where he plants cover crops, he jumped at the chance. Two years later, ...
Figuring out why certain soils keep plant parasites at bay could be a boon for agriculture around the globe Plants around the world are constantly under attack — often with big implications for humans. In the 1960s, millions of elm trees in Britain, France and the U.S. fell victim to Dutch elm disease, which clogs the vessels that carry life-giving water to the trees’ leaves. ...

Genetic diversity has supplied effective ways to improve crop yields and disease resistance. Therefore, we may be able to reduce crop uptake of heavy metals by collecting germplasm resources. In this study, cadmium accumulation and nutrients in radish was investigated by intercropping three genotypes (red, green, and white radish) in different combinations. Both pot and field experiments ...
Biosolids are an important source of nutrients and organic matter, which are necessary for the productive cultivation of crop plants. Biosolids have been found to contain the personal care products, triclosan and triclocarban, at high concentrations relative to other pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The current study investigates whether exposure of six plant species (radish, ...
Received for publication February 5, 2008. Brassica cover crops are new to the mid-Atlantic region, and limited information is available on their N uptake capabilities for effective N conservation. Forage radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Daikon), oilseed radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Adagio), and rape (Brassica napus L. cv. Dwarf Essex) were compared with rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Wheeler), a ...
There is uncertainty as to the rates of coal fly ash needed for optimum physiological processes and growth. In the current study we tested the hypothesis that photosynthetic pigments concentrations and CO2 assimilation (A) are more sensitive than dry weights in plants grown on media amended with coal fly ash. We applied the Terrestrial Plant Growth Test (Guideline 208) protocols of the ...
A total of 71 samples from 23 different foodstuffs, namely root vegetables (beetroot, carrot, onion, potato, radish and turnip), leafy vegetables (lettuce, parsley, spinach and white cabbage) and lentils, kidneys, soya, eggs, rice, meat, tomato paste, cooking oil, salami, tea, bread, sausage and cubic sugar, were purchased from markets and analysed by gamma spectrometry for their 226Ra and 228Ra ...
Abstract: This study is done to measure the absorption and distribution of cadmium in different parts of kidney beans, radishes and pumpkins. Three parts of a field was chosen. In one part 65 ppm of cadmium nitrate was added to water and in the other part 130 ppm, the last part was irrigated with normal water. Samples were digested by EPA 3050 method. Cadmium concentration was measured by Unicam ...
