Study Notes
Weeds and Crop Competition
- Weeds compete directly for space, sunlight, and nutrients essential for healthy crop production.
- Understanding weed management is crucial for effective agricultural practices.
Animal Science
- Animal Science focuses on the domestication of species, balancing animal welfare with economic needs.
- Divisions include:
- Livestock Production: Involves mammals like swine, horses, and ruminants.
- Poultry Production: Encompasses birds such as chickens, quails, and ducks.
- Emerging Species: Increasing interest in fast-producing animals like rabbits and ostriches as viable meat sources.
Agribusiness and Management
- Agribusiness integrates commerce into agriculture, focusing on economic implications and farmer equity.
- Crop Protection is vital to manage pests that threaten crop health, categorized into:
- Plant Pathology: Studies diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
- Agricultural Entomology: Examines insects' impact on crops and ecological balance.
- Weed Science: Focuses on plant competition management, addressing unwanted plants that hinder crop growth.
Divisions of Agriculture
- Agriculture comprises several key divisions, including:
- Crop Science: Concentrates on economically important plants.
- Crop Production: Enhances efficiency from planting to postharvest.
- Crop Protection: Safeguards crops against diseases and pests.
- Agronomy: Focuses on annual field crops like cereals and pulses.
