Citrus is a generic term for the group of flowering plants belonging to the genus Citrus in the common rue family Rustaceae. Members of the citrus family include grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, tangerines, kumquats, and others. Phylogenetic relationships within the Citrus genus are complex. Analysis of 36 accessions of Citrus indicate that many named species, including lemons, sweet limes, and oranges, are of hybrid origin (Nicolosi et. al, 2000).
The fruits of citrus plants are known to grow on evergreen trees in subtropical areas worldwide that produce fruits with a variety of colors and shapes. Cross sections of the fruit show several identifiable layers. The outermost skin or rind, which normally exhibits a bright yellow or orange color, is the endocarp or flavedo. The endocarp protects the fruit from damage while secreting essential oils that give the fruit its characteristic odor (UNCTAD 2014). A white, spongy tissue known as the mesocarp (albedo) forms the second layer; it makes up the peel of the fruit and is typically removed before consumption (UNCTAD 2014)....
“Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday conveys the inhumane, gory lynchings of African-Americans in the American South, and how this highly unnatural act had entrenched itself into the society and culture of the South, almost as if it were an agricultural crop. Although the song did not originate from Holiday, her first performance of it in 1939 in New York City and successive recording of the song became highly popular for their emotional power (“Strange fruit,” 2017). The lyrics in the song highlight the contrast between the natural beauty and apparent sophistication of the agricultural South with the brutal violence of lynchings. Holiday communicates these rather disturbing lyrics through a peculiarly serene vocal delivery, accompanied by a hymn-like
Cultures are becoming obsessed with pumpkin spice flavors because it’s just a good flavor. Other reasons why people are obsessed because it’s a newer thing. I really don’t know why everybody likes it I guess just because it’s good. I mean how could you pass up a pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice Pringles, pumpkin spice doughnuts or anything like that. People also like pumpkin spice latte because it’s caffeine. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a coffee drink made with a mix of traditional fall spice flavors.
The Hunger Games was a critically acclaimed movie when it came out; however, some critics would argue that the movie can be sometimes too violent for its intended audience. In this essay I would dissert Brian Bethune’s essay “Dystopia Now” in order to find its weaknesses and compare the movie Battle Royale with his essay.

For citrus growers in Florida, the future is uncertain. Two bacterial diseases, named citrus canker and citrus greening disease, have devastated countless acres of trees across the state. For an industry that “generates about $8.9 billion a year,” this is no small issue (“Citrus Greening”). The Florida Citrus Grower’s Association would like to import a landrace of orange discovered in China that is resistant to citrus greening disease and test it in Florida to discover its effects on both citrus canker and greening. Although there are advantages to importing a resistant form of citrus, the risks greatly outweigh the potential benefits, and for this reason, the Association should begin to place its efforts towards the many alternative methods of control that are available.
Businesses in the fast-paced food and beverage industry face a slew of difficulties and opportunities created by environmental forces. Among these forces, the economic factor is what I feel is most important for Jamba Juice. Understanding why the economic component is crucial to Jamba Juice's success, emphasising its impact on pricing and profitability, unemployment rate among university students, and cost management. First, Jamba Juice's pricing strategy is intimately related to the state of the economy. Economic factors such as inflation, changes in disposable income, and consumer buying habits all have an impact on how price sensitive consumers and university students are.
A story could lack its framework without a narrative structure, such as the plot, “the chronological sequence of events” (Gardner, 2017b, p. 7), and the point of view, how the plot is told to the audience. Story Plot S Each Peach Pear Plum has a simplified version of the detailed model of a story plot. A story's plot reveals 9 key sections during a detailed model of a story plot, such as the aperture, exposition, inciting moment, rising action, climax, falling action, denouement, conclusion, and the coda (Gardner, 2017b, p. 9). The merging of sections into other parts of Each Peach Pear Plum indicates its simplified story plot.
Similarly to the poor production of wine, oranges were not so tasty. They had very thick skin and lacked sweetness. After the agricultural improvements of the making of oranges, Southern California produced more than two-thirds of the country’s citrus fruits production with 90% being lemons.

Oranges are grown in many countries in the world. Some of these countries are: Brazil, the United States of America, China, EU-27, Mexico, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa, Morocco, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Argentina, Australia, Guatemala, Israel, Malaysia, Mozambique, Japan, Brazil, etc. The top three producers of oranges are: Brazil with 16,600 MT, the United states with 7,602 MT, and China with 7,000 MT. These countries contribute greatly to the worldwide production of oranges. Most oranges grow best in moist, tropical/subtropical climates. Oranges require high nitrogen fertilizers to thrive. Most oranges are grown in flat lands or plains. Oranges are require soil that is loose and is very deep. Oranges are able to grow at temperatures ranging from 55 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Orange trees do not produce oranges during the winter months. The average size of a farm in Florida is 195 acres, and it has a total of 9.2 million acres of farmland. The labor force of Florida's orange farms consists mainly of illegal Mexican immigrants. These workers are paid at a rate of 70-90 cents per 90 pound box. They earn less than 75 dollars each day. Some farmers in Florida are turning to machines for cheap labor. These machines are more efficient than the immigrant workers. This decreases the amount of time needed to pick many oranges. These new machines are called "canopy shakers". A company called Southern Gardens Citrus is vertically integrating farms into its company. This company has more than 16,500 acres of groves with 1.8 million orange trees. In order to thrive, orange trees need high levels of direct sunlight. Orange trees can continue to survive with small amounts of shade coveri...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), also named yuca, is a perennial woody shrub with tuberous roots in the family Euphorbiaceae. Cassava is now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin. The world production of cassava in 2012 was estimated as tonnes with the top producers being Nigeria, Indonesia, Brazil, and Thailand (FAO, 1994). Being very rich in starch (90% of the dry matter), Cassava is mainly used in traditional human foods, but is also used industrially for the production of starch and starch derivatives, e.g. dextrins and glucose (Zhu, 2015).
