Poisonous Tropical Plants

Poisonous Tropical Plants. Poisonous plants are laced with alkaloids or chemicals that cause anything from mild irritation of the skin to the fatal breakdown of the body. Poison can be introduced through contact, or by ingestion of poisonous plant tissue. While most contact is non-lethal, it still can be dangerous causing blindness in extreme cases. Ingestion can cause an upset stomach, or in rare cases, death. It is important to know how to identify, and to avoid contact with poisonous plants.

Nutrients Needed For Hydroponics

Nutrients Needed for Hydroponics. Hydroponics is cultivation of plants without soil. All the nutrients needed for the plant are supplied through a nutrient solution. Nutrients like oxygen, carbon and hydrogen are absorbed by the plant from air and water. The primary macronutrients are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Secondary macronutrients are calcium, magnesium and sulfur. The essential micronutrients are iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum, zinc, copper and chlorine. Different combinations of nutrients are used in preparing various nutrient solutions depending on the requirements of a particular plant. The pH level of the nutrient solution is important for healthy growth of the plant. Majority of the plants grow well in slightly acidic conditions in the pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. The nutrient solution in hydroponics works for 10 to 15 days.

Facts About Nematodes

Facts About Nematodes. According to the University of California, nematodes are the second most abundant species on earth. These free-living species are found as parasites in plants, animals, insects and birds or any living organism from which they can derive nutrition. Coming under phylum Nemata in taxonomy, these creatures feed primarily on bacteria and microscopic fungi. They are biologically very simple. With basic digestive and nervous systems, parasitic nematodes are the most complete yet rudimentary multicellular animals. They are found in nearly all climates and soil types.

Flowering Plants Characteristics

Flowering Plants Characteristics. Flower-bearing plants and nonflower-bearing plants together encompass all the seed-producing plants in existence on the earth. Flower-bearing plants, or angiosperms, are distinguished from nonflower-bearing plants, or gymnosperms, by some very obvious and important characteristics, the flower is the most obvious. Flowers are not just for aesthetic purpose; rather they are reproductive organs of the plants.

Types Of Soil Bacteria

Types of Soil Bacteria. Thousands of micro and macro organisms live in the soil. The life cycle of these organisms gives soil many of its beneficial and nutritive properties. Soil organisms are classified by their size. The smallest are microfauna, consisting of microscopic organisms like bacteria, fungi and yeast. Bacteria play a key role in shaping the qualities of soil. Soil bacteria are classified into different types based on the primary function that they perform.

The Best Soils For Agriculture

The Best Soils for Agriculture. For any agricultural activity to be successful, the type of soil on which it is done plays a crucial part. Earth's crust is filled with different kinds of soil. For most agricultural activities, the soil needs to be of medium density content texture, should be well drained, and should have rich organic matter and nutrients in it. The requirements, however, vary according to the crop that is being cultivated.
