...Azolla Azolla is a floating fern and belongs to the family of Azollaceae, Azolla. The plant hosts a symbiotic blue green alga, Anabaena Azollae, which is responsible for the fixation and assimilation of atmospheric nitrogen. The plant itself in turn, provides the carbon source and favorable environment for the growth and development of the algae. In good conditions, Azolla can readily colonize areas of freshwater, and double its biomass about every three days. First you need to buy some Azolla plants. This is only needed for the very first time. After this you can breed them by yourself. Buy the specie Azolla pinnata, this specie works best in the Cambodian climate and is used a lot in Vietnam and Thailand. [pic] Example of a propagation pond After you bought some of them, you have to make a propagation pond. Place the Azolla plants on the water surface of your pond. After a while the whole water surface will be covered with the Azolla. The algae on the Azolla plant, will fix up to about 140 kg nitrogen/hectare. So you don’t longer have to use a commercial nitrogen fertilizer. This leaflet will show the steps for using Azolla to improve the fertility of the soil. How to use the symbiotic Azolla/Anabaena system? 1. Some days after transplanting your rice seedlings into the paddy, gather the Azolla from the propagation pond and spread it evenly on the area of your paddy. Their must be at least a water level of about 1 cm. Important: Enough Azolla must be left in the pond...

...most commonly consumed fern. The young fronds are stir-fried as a vegetable or used in salads. In Hawaii it is used to make pohole. Also the cinnamon fern is an edible fern. The tuber fern from the kings of fern also known as the ptisana salicina are a regular food in New Zealand and the South Pacific. Tuber ferns are used to make gofio. The natives in the Pacific Northwest would chew on licorice fern rhizomes for the taste. The fiddlehead fern is very popular in cooking. When cooking with fiddlehead you make it with olive oil or butter. Fiddlehead has a taste like asparagus. Fiddleheads are available from April through July. Fern are also used for fertilizers, such as the azolla fern. The azolla fern is small and floats on water, they often called as the mosquito fern. In Southeast Asia they used the azolla ferns for fertilizer in the rice paddles. Some ferns are used for healing wounds. The lady fern can help with stinging of burns. The asplenium species of ferns can be helpful to treat stomach disorder and paraistes. The male ferns root oil can help expel parasitic worms. Many veterinarians use this for pets that have parasitic worms. They will cover the pill in honey and give it to the animals to expel the worm. Maidenhair ferns are a remedy that helps with lung problems. Also maidenhair roots and leaves can help cure the early stages of jaundice. The hardy fern helps to prevent soil from erosion and aids stabilization. Fern help increase soil fertility and remove metals...

(Hussner, 2010). | Knotweed (Polygonum spp.) | Vigorous rhizomes helps to regenerate when buried up to depths of three feet (0.9 m). (Parkinson and Mangold, 2010) | Question 2 The Pond Skater (Gerris lacustris) is an insect that is especially well suited to life in Wetlands. They have specialized, paddle like legs that enable the insect to "skate" over the surface of the water, riding on the surface tension that lies between the water and the air. Migratory Fish Migratory species such as Salmon, Trout and Eel can survive all levels of salinity in their migration through River, Estuarine and Coastal Wetlands. Fish such as these that are able to adapt to varying levels of salinity are described as eurythaline. Gator Holes Alligators in Southern Florida Wetlands...

...Rice-fish farming systems in China Both rice and fish cultivation have long histories in Asia, where many species and varieties of each originated and were first developed for human use. Fish can be raised in rice fields, either concurrently with the rice crop or in rotation with rice. Ricefish farming can also be practised at different intensities. Not only do rice-fish systems use one habitat to produce both an important grain and a protein resource, but they also promote some very beneficial interactions: rice plants provide shade for fish, while fish oxygenate the water. The systems also minimize risks for resource-poor farmers, protect natural resources and promote biodiversity. As world rice production increases, so too does the adoption of rice-fish farming systems. THE SITUATION THE SITUATION Rice is the dominant staple crop of tropical Asia, where it has a long history of domestication and a rich diversity of cultivated ecotypes based on three types of Oryza sativa (indica, japonica and javanica), which are cultivated in different agro-ecological zones for their differing growth, grain and yield characteristics. There are four basic rice agro-ecosystems in China, each with its own peculiar edaphic conditions: irrigated ecosystems, terrace ecosystems, lowland rainfed ecosystems, and flood-prone (very deep water) ecosystems. In addition, many freshwater fish species originated in tropical Asia, especially carps, catfishes and air-breathing fishes. In China there...

...Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming". Scientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observations and theoretical models. A climate record — extending deep into the Earth's past — has been assembled, and continues to be built up, based on geological evidence from borehole temperature profiles, cores removed from deep accumulations of ice, floral and faunal records, glacial and periglacial processes, stable-isotope and other analyses of sediment layers, and records of past sea levels. More recent data are provided by the instrumental record. General circulation models, based on the physical sciences, are often used in theoretical approaches to match past climate data, make future projections, and link causes and effects in climate change. Terminology The most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods...

...Lumut (Bryophyta) Lumut merupakan kelompok tumbuhan yang telah beradaptasi dengan lingkungan darat. Kelompok tumbuhan ini penyebarannya menggunakan spora dan telah mendiami bumi semenjak kurang lebih 350 juta tahun yang lalu. Pada masa sekarang ini Bryophyta dapat ditemukan disemua habitat kecuali di laut (Gradstein,2003). Dalam skala evolusi lumut berada diantara ganggang hijau dan tumbuhan berpembuluh (tumbuhan paku dan tumbuhan berbiji). Persamaan antara ketiga tumbuhan tersebut adalah ketiganya mempunyai pigmen fotosintesis berupa klorofil A dan B, dan pati sebagai cadangan makanan utama (Hasan dan Ariyanti, 2004). Perbedaan mendasar antara ganggang dengan lumut dan tumbuhan berpembuluh telah beradaptasi dengan lingkungan darat yang kering dengan mempunyai organ reproduksi (gametangium dan sporangium), selalu terdiri dari banyak sel (multiselluler) dan dilindungi oleh lapisan sel-sel mandul, zigotnya berkembang menjadi embrio dan tetap tinggal di dalam gametangium betina. Oleh karena itu lumut dan tumbuhan berpembuluh pada umumnya merupakan tumbuhan darat tidak seperti ganggang yang kebanyakan aquatik (Tjitrosoepomo, 1989). Lumut dapat dibedakan dari tumbuhan berpembuluh terutama karena lumut (kecuali Polytrichales) tidak mempunyai sistem pengangkut air dan makanan. Selain itu lumut tidak mempunyai akar sejati, lumut melekat pada substrat dengan menggunakan rhizoid. Siklus hidup lumut dan tumbuhan berpembuluh juga berbeda (Hasan dan Ariyanti, 2004). Pada tumbuhan...

Venturillo IV-Rutherford September 2013 BIOPESTICIDAL EFFECT OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHILI PEPPER ON GOLDEN KUHOL (POMACEA CANALICULATA) INTRODUCTION A who’s who of biopesticide is therefore of concern to us all. If we are going to live intimately with these chemicals formulating them within the plants and then eventually eating them, taking them into the very marrow of our bones, isn’t it like digging our own grave? On today’s status quo one of the major problems in the Philippines is about health, and one of the main cause of this is about what we eat, which as we can see chemical products are abundant in the Philippines. Rice is an everyday consumption of Filipino’s diet which is believed healthy for our body and abundant throughout the Philippines, but what if shortage of this production is experience because of pests invading towards Philippine rice fields. Believe it or not, this healthy is now considered insalubrious facing the fact that chemicals that are practiced towards the plants which serves as pesticide against kuhol will also harm our body, because farmers have no choice but to use chemical pesticide to eliminate these pests, is there? Before the introduction of chemical pesticides our native kuhol was a good source of...
