...Legumes are a botanical family of plants that include dozens of varieties of beans, lentils, garbanzos, peas, soybeans, and peanuts. While eating plants would generally be thought of as healthy, the part of the legume that we eat is actually the seed of the legume plant. As with grains, the seeds of legumes store a large amount of energy in the form of carbohydrate, which may or may not support healthy metabolic function. Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for their food grain seed, for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-enhancing green manure. Legumes are notable in that most of them have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts, tamarind, and the woody climbing vine wisteria. Many legumes (alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, soybeans, peanuts and others) contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within root nodules of their root systems. These bacteria have the special ability of fixing nitrogen from atmospheric, molecular nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3). When a legume plant dies in the field, for example following the harvest, all of its remaining nitrogen, incorporated into amino acids inside the remaining plant parts, is released back into the soil. In the soil, the amino acids are converted to nitrate (NO3-), making the nitrogen available to other plants, thereby serving as fertilizer for future crops. ...

...Orchard grass: tall growing, high yielding bunch grass attains more summer growth than other grasses with an intensive system of cutting mgmt.. It persists well with alfalfa. Early maturing varieties are suitable for pure hay or silage, or with legumes for pasture. DO NOT use in mixtures with legumes for hay or silage. Medium/late maturing varieties do well when combined with legumes for hay, silage, or pasture.. Later maturing varieties are best to grow with alfalfa. Common orchard grass is NOT a variety, its maturity unknown but it generally heads earlier than named varieties. It is for general use, but should not be mixed with legumes for hay or silage. Orchardgrass should not be seeded with other grasses because of differences in maturity and palatability. Table 2. Seeding rates for timothy and a single legume in mixture. Species lb/A Timothy 2–6 with any one of these legume Alfalfa 8–10 Birdsfoot trefoil 6–8 Red clover 6–8 White clover 2–4 Potomac is an early maturing variety (early May), Dawn and Rancho are medium-maturing varieties (mid-to late-May), and Pennlate is a late-maturing variety (late May to early June). When seeding an orchardgrass-legume mixture, the two should mature at about the same time. This will enable harvesting of both species at proper developmental stages and improve the potential of harvesting top quality forage. However, because it becomes coarse and less palatable as it matures, it is best suited for pastures. The rapid decline...

...Article #1 Brummer, E. Charles, et al. "Emergence and survival of legumes seeded into pastures varying in landscape position." Crop Science 44.1 (2004): 227+. Academic OneFile. Web. 20 Nov. 2012. Summary: Brummer and associates acknowledged that legumes plants are known for improving the quality of the forage with increased crude protein to a pasture system. Legumes grow faster throughout the year due to their ability convert nitrogen from the atmosphere to usable nitrogen for the plant. Although legume increase the entire pasture yield, back slopes often produces more dry matter then summits proved by Harmony et al .(2001). Brummer and associates analysed establishment of legumes in pasture systems under a number of conditions. They investigated how grass height, dayly sun light, and fertilizer affected establishment of legumes. Their experiment involved creating several plots with different scenarios. They tested several legumes including red clover, alfalfa, and birdsfoot trefoil proportionally on several landscapes. To control competition they cut the grass and added fertilizer. At the growing seasons end legumes were pulled, sorted, and counted to measure the results of the experiment. Brummer and associates results supported Harmony et al .(2001) That back slopes allowed a greater amount of legumes to emerge compared to summits when turf height was not reduced greatly or at all. When the grass did not exceed 5 cm back slope and summit compared equally or close...

Albasin Ria Faye P. Paderanga Research Adviser: Ma’am Lea Lilibeth Emata Xavier University High School Ateneo de Cagayan ____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT This investigatory project was conducted primarily to determine the effectiveness of “Sapal” in restraining bean weevil for longer storage of leguminous seeds. Simple process was undertaken. The materials were prepared before performing the experiment. The 150 grams of mongo seeds were used as the experimental set-up and 150 grams for control set-ups. One piece of mature coconut was grated and dried, 75 grams of “Sapal” was mixed with 150 grams of mongo seed, and also with 150 grams of string bean seeds. The ratio of mixing was 2:1 seeds and “Sapal”. After mixing, it was placed in separate sieves and allowed to dry under the sun for 6 hours. Then, the experimental seeds were placed in separate jars properly labeled; likewise with the jars of the control separately placed and also properly labeled. The bottles were kept in a cabinet seed bank safe to avoid...

...Slugs preference is cool weather such as rain and fog as they do not have the outer shell to protect them. The dry weather or heat may dry them out. When the weather is warm and dry the slug will attempt to find shelter in a cool and dark place, usually damp. However if there is a long dry spell then the slug will encase themselves in a papery cocoon-like structure and attach themselves to a wall or tree and wait until the weather is cooler. Due to slugs bodies being comprised of mainly water and being without a full bodied shell their soft bodies are prone to desiccation. They must generate protective mucous to survive. Slugs are very active after rain or wet periods because of the moist ground. In the dry conditions you will find them hiding under the tree bark, fallen logs, rocks and even man made structures such as planters to help them retain some of their body moisture. Slugs are most active usually from March to October but can be right through to winter. Unlike snails that hibernate during winter slugs are active whenever the temperature is above 5degreesC. Slugs are more capable of a wider colonization than snails due to the fact that they do not require calcium for their shell. Although they do cause damage to gardens there is also the positive side to them, they aide in clearing away rotting vegetation and themselves are a source of nourishment for other animals such as birds etc. Slugs are detrivores which means they eat dead and decaying matter. They also eat the...

...Chickpeas are the world's second most widely grown and eaten bean in the world, second to soybeans. The cultivation of most of the worlds chickpeas takes place in India and Middle Eastern countries. With only 1% of the world's production taking place in The United States, Montana is the primary source for locally grown chickpeas in the U.S. The chickpea season typically starts after the final frost of the season and lasts 100 days. Planted 10 inches underground in the cool balanced soil, chickpeas are under close observation until they are at the peak of ripeness. This observation is crucial, harvesting too early allows for green seeds to remain and lower the value of the crop. Shortly after the desired ripeness is achieved a stripper head...

...Mendel’s plant breeding of Pea Plants Gregor Mendel, a German scientists [Pictured Right], has suddenly rose to fame after founding modern science of genetics. Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants: plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color. With seed color, he was able to demonstrate that that when a yellow pea and a green pea were bred together, in concluded in their offspring plant always being yellow. However, in the next generation of plants, the green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1:3. To explain his strange discovery, Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant” in reference to certain traits (Yellow peas are clearly dominant according to his recent studies, and green peas are recessive) He published his work in 1866, demonstrating the actions of invisible “factors”—now called genes—in providing for visible traits in predictable ways. Who is he? Mendel was born into an ethnic German family in Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Moravian-Silesian border, Austrian Empire (now known as Hynčice, Czech Republic). He was the son of Rosine and Anton Mendel, and had one younger sister called Theresia and one older called Veronika. They worked and lived on a farm which had been owned by the Mendel family for about 130 years. During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardener and studied beekeeping. Later, as a young man, he attended gymnasium in Opava. He had to take four months off during his gymnasium studies due to medical...

...For some years now everybody has always thought that losing weight meant losing your mind. Some have even thought when you are trying to lose weight, you have to go on boring diet. But that’s not true. You can find different ways to lose weight, without the diet pills or even trying to starve yourself. They are options and choices but you don’t have to lose your mind just to get back in your skinny jeans. By eating correctly and following the food guide, you can lose weight and keep the weight off. Even a super busy person can do this. The food guide contains: “fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy’s, and oils” (Choosemyplate.gov). In the fruit group there are a lot of fruits to choose from. You have your most common fruits such as, “apples, bananas, Grapes, grapefruit, kiwi, plums” and so on (choosemyplate.gov). Make sure when you are picking out your fruits to go on your plant you need enough for half of your plate. Vegetables, are the next thing that needs to have half of you plate. “100% vegetable juice counts as two serving” (V8.com). Your vegetables consist of “dark green vegetables, such as Bok Choy, broccoli, collard greens, and dark green leafy lettuce” (choosemyplate.gov).

...Bean Beatle Competition Lab RESULTS: In the two control petri dish that consisted of 20 beans with eggs previously on them, the females laid two to three eggs. In the two control petri dish that consisted of 20 beans without eggs previously on them, the females laid to 2 to 6 eggs. The average number of eggs laid on the eggs that already had eggs on them was 1.25 eggs and the standard error was 0.5522. The average number of eggs laid on the eggs that did not already have eggs on them was 6.91667 and the standard error was 0.9728 (Figure 2). A comparative t-test was performed and from it the t-value, degrees of freedom, and p-value were determined. The t-value, for two-tailed distribution, was 2.20099, the degrees of freedom was 11, and the p-value was 0.00033 (Figure 1). DISCUSSION: Our hypothesis was accepted because the female bean beetles preferred to lay eggs on the beans without eggs rather than the beans with eggs already on them; therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected, because the p-value, 0.00033, was less than 0.05. This research is important because it tells us more about the ovipositional preferences of the female bean beetles. Larvae can’t move from the egg which is deposited, so the bean determined the future food resources that is available for their offspring, which would affect the the influence of the growth or reproduction; therefore, minimizing competition of resources between the offspring. It also important to know how if intraspecific...
