Knowing the difference between pole and bush lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) is essential before starting the seeds in your garden. Hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 to11, these beans differ in yield and growing methods, which might make you prefer one over the other. (See References 1) Regardless of which type you grow, both are a nice addition in soups, stews and casseroles. About the Yield Bush and pole limas differ in that bush limas mature about 10 to 15 days earlier
did something not grown to any significant extent in West Virginia evolve into “our food?” Like many things for mountaineers, we got them from the Indians but not the ones that readily come to mind. That’s Indians as in South American Indians. Phaseolus vulgaris, pinto beans and cousins, originated from a common bean ancestor domesticated in Peru or close by 7,000 years ago. In fact, “pinto” is a Spanish word for painted, coined to describe the mottled or seemingly painted specks on this variety
Controlled variables and the method to control them Material List: 1. 500 ml of tap water 2. 1 liter of ammonium sulphate and water solution 3. 1 liter of worm fertilizer and water solution 4. 33x seeds of Boncuk Ayşe1 (Phaseolus vulgaris) 5. 33x seeds of Ayse Kadin2 (Phaseolus vulgaris) 6. 12x couple of petri
Eco-Columns provide a first-hand glimpse of how an ecosystem works through each level. While also allowing an impression into how each organism contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem being simulated in an eco-column. In the eco-column both a closed system and an open system were represented by, the terrestrial column being an open system and the filter chamber being a closed system. Closing off potential contamination of nutrients getting past and biogeochemical cycles being affected
Raccoons can wreak havoc on your harvest, especially when you're trying to grow sweet corn (Zea mays), which in addition to other plant and animal matter, is part of their diet. Hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture planting zones 4 through 8, sweet corn is favored by these masked bandits during its ripening stage. (See References 1 and 2) To avoid a disappointing harvest, there are various things you can do to keep raccoons out of your garden. Fence Them Out Although a 3-foot-tall chicken-wire
In plant growth, many factors take place for the plant to grow effectively such as: temperature, nourishment, and sunlight. In order for plants to grow at a steady pace they require stable lighting, stable temperature, and daily nutrients in order to grow properly. My fellow colleagues and I are testing whether or not Osmocote fertilizer treatment will have an outstanding effect on growth of the mung bean seeds. A fertilizer is a substance that is added to the soil to increase fertility. The osmocote
AL- Rifaee et al. (2004) found that increasing plant population of faba bean from 12.5 to 25 plants m-2 resulted in significant increase in number of seeds per pod, harvest index and seed yield. Abdalla (2006) showed that spacing 30 cm gave a significant increase in yield per plant, early yield and total yield comparing with plant spacing 60 cm. Nadal and Moreno (2006) reported that immature green pod yields of faba bean increased as population density increased from 11 up to 33 plants m-2. Thalji

Man has been much conscious about body care and cleanliness since ancient times. Those people were also concerned with ideas of beauty and fashion. Historians have found the concept of beauty treatment back to Egyptian times. Early Egyptians are also credited with being first to develop methods of extraction of valuable ingredients from natural products and were also advanced in the beauty sector Various ancient Unani physicians have dedicated either volumes or entire books depicting beauty concepts
Science that deals with study of materials or any particles that is so small and measured in nanometer scale is called “Nanoscience”. Study about very small particles and its chemical and physical changes at nanoscale is not an easy business. Nanotechnology studies the big picture of those small particles, manipulates them to advance new devices and materials. The name “nanotechnology” was created in year 1974 (Nowack & Bucheli, 2007). But the concept of manipulating Nano particles has been around
Use of Panchgavya (term used to describe five major substances obtained from cow that include: cow's urine, milk, ghee, curd and dung) and its products is gaining popularity day-by-day. Panchgavya Therapy/Chikitsa (Cowpathy) has been proposed as an alternate prophylactic and therapeutic approach for sound livestock and poultry health along with safeguarding human health. Its antimicrobial properties have gained the attention of the medical and veterinary professionals. Copper is capable of destroying
