Integrated farming utilizes cropping patterns which involve the raising of crops, animals, and or trees. A labour intensive integrated farming practice includes crops, duck, fish etc. on small-holdings, based on maximum recycling principles. With appropriate crop combinations and proper agronomic practices. integrated farming will not only increase grain yields and ensure economic returns, but it will also make available sufficient livestock feed and maintain ...
Farming is the art, science or practice of producing food, feed, fibre and many other desired goods by the systematic raising of plants and animals. Traditional systems of crops and livestock farming are not static. They adapt to changing circumstances such as increased population pressure, use of fertilizers and changing consumption patterns. farmers, governments, and national and international agencies all have a role in this change, often by keeping track of ...

Plant biodiversity is where an ecosystem in one area has an abundance of different plant species. These species must large trees to be a very biodiverse ecosystem. When an ecosystem is very biodiverse is allows for many more animal species to live and thrive there. Plant biodiversity has contributed in many ways to the development of human culture, and, in turn, human communities have played a major role in shaping the diversity of nature at the genetic, species, ...
Recent progress in explaining the science behind biological processes has significantly enhanced our ability to exploit them for the benefit of man kind and the environment. The evolution of plant breeding is a classic example of how improved biological understanding has been adapted to provide more effective methods of meeting the demands of a changing world. Modern biotechnology is the latest stage in the development of plant breeding technology. The tools of ...
The recent development in biotechnology have led to rapid progress in understanding the genetic basis of living organisms, and the ability to develop products and processes useful to human and animal health, food and agriculture, and industry. In agriculture, there is increasing use of biotechnology for genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection to aid more precise and rapid development of new strains of improved crops and livestock. Biotechnology application ...
