The Control of Weeds and Plant Diseases.

In crop production the control of weeds, diseases and pests is essential to obtain high yields. All three may be controlled by sound farm practices. These include the choice of clean seed and the growing of varieties of crop which can resist disease. They also include careful cultivation, both presowing and post-sowing, and the use of chemicals.

Weeds reduce  crop yields on account of the fact that they compete with crops for water, soil nutrients and light. They also make harvesting difficult. Most weeds are aggressive and invasive, they grow guickly and spread far, and so are difficult to get rid of. One recommended way of eradicating many persistent weeds is first to plough up the roots and underground parts of the plant. Then the soil may be cultivated lightly, or rotavated, on one or more occasions after the first ploughing.

The principal reason for cultivating the soil is to kill weeds. Weeds may also be killed by means of chemicals which have the collective name of herbicides. Weed-killers are of two basic types: selective and non-selective.

The former remove certain weeds from certain crops. For rice we can spray the herbicide 2:4-D or MCPA over the whole crop at low concentrations (1/2 – 1 lb. per acre). The rice will not be affected, but many of the rice weeds will be killed. Non-selective weed killers may be used for removing all vegetation e.g. as brush killers. They must be used extremely carefully  for the simple reason that they will eradicate all plants on contact – which includes the crop itself. They are  usually used before sowing or before sowing or before the emergence of the crop itself.

Plant diseases are caused by organisms which use the crop plant as a host. These are mainly micro-organisms e.g. fungi, bacteria and viruses.

These parasitic micro-organisms live off the food nutrients in the tissue cells of the plant or a part of it is damaged and killed. Micro-organisms are bacteria.

Wind, water, diseased plants, cuttings and tubers, animals, men and insects are some of the means whereby disease is disseminated.

It is very difficult to kill the fungi and bacteria, or to make the virus which is inside the host plant inactive. But the evolution of plant varieties which can resist disease has completely changed methods of disease control.

A number of varieties have been evolved and now available to farmers.

So the control of plant diseases has increasingly become a matter of prevention.

Fungi, which attack the aerial parts of the crop, can be controlled by means of fungicides. These are sprayed or dusted on to the plant surfaces.

They should be applied before the plant is seriously damaged. In any case, it is necessary to examine crops frequently for signs of disease.

Soil-borne diseases are much more difficult to control. There are various ways of treating the soil. One way is to use chemicals that easily change into a gas or vapour, which enter the soil and kill the harmful organisms. The soil is covered with a polythene sheet and the volatile chemical is injected into the soil. After about 24 hours the sheet is removed and the soil is allowed to air for a few days before use.

Тhe life cycle of a plant .

Тhe life cycle of a plant can be divided into several stages . the first stage  is germination . seeds remain dormant , or in a resting state , if they are kept cool or dry . when the amount of moisture and the temperature level are right , the seeds germinate and starts growing .

Сertain conditions are necessary for this to happen . an essential condition is the seeds must be alive .  sometimes seeds are dried  at a temperature which is too high .

Оther condition for germination concern  the amount of moisture in the soil . if dry seeds are planted in a dry soil , they will not germinate until in rains .  on the other hand ,  if there is too much water in the soil , the seeds will not germinate either . this is because wet soils remain cold for a longer  period  of time than drier , well - drained soils . dormant seeds require very little oxygen in order to stay alive , but when they start to germinate they require more .

In the first stage of germination the primary root , or radicle emerges .then the stem pushes its way upward until it appears above the surface of the soil .at the same time the root system grows downward ,  and begins to spread through the soil .in early stages the development of seedlings depends entirely on the foodstore in the seed  but as soon as the first leaves are produced , it is able to manufacture food for itself . The seedlings begins photosynthesis .

When the plant is mature enough , it flowers , and when  this happens pollination and fertilization  are ready to take place . In the process of pollination the pollen is carried by wind

 

Or insects from the stamens to the stigma of the carpel .

The parts of a plant and their functions

 

A plant is a living organism. It is made up of different parts, each of which has a particular purpose , or specialized function.if one part of the plant is not functioning properly the whole plant will suffer. But we may cut flowers off  the plant or prune  the roots. Such damage is only temporary and so the plant will continue  to grow.

The basic parts of a plant are the root system , which is bellow the ground, and the shoot system above. The root of a plant has two main functions. It takes in , or abcorbs,water and miner als from the soils  through the root hairs,which are single cells hear the tip of each root. The other main function of the root is to hold or , anchor , the plant in firmly position in the soil

the shoot system above the ground consists of the stem , the leaves , the flowers and fruits . one of the function of the stem is to support the plant . another important  function is to enable  water and minerals to pass up from the roots  to the leaves and flowers .  the leaves make food for the plant by the process known as photosynthesis . for this process sunlight is necessary . water from the soil  and carbon dioxide from the air  are converted into sugars and other carbohydrates . during the process oxygen  is formed and released into the air .

the flowers  contains the reproductive organs of the plant .  the stamens produce  the male sex cells . the carpel produces the female sex cells . the fruit ,  the ripened ovary of the flower , encloses the seeds and protects them while they are developing .

The  origin  and composition of the soil .

The origin  and composition of soil .

Soil is a residue of two main ingredients: mineral material and organic material .Organic material originates from dead plants and animals and materials other  than this are derived from rocks  of various kinds . These rocks are broken down  into small particles by mechanical  disintegration and chemical decomposition . This breaking down process , known as weathering , may thus both physical and chemical .

When weathering process are largely physical -  by heat or wind , for instance – the composition of the soil is very similar to that of the parent rock . In arid regions weathering is mostly by physical  means .But in humid regions chemical processes of weathering are equally important . In such regions  rock particles are affected by water which may contain carbonic or other weak acid . These acids dissolve   some of the particles in the rocks .

The mineral material that is left behind is insoluble . Consequently , the isoluble mineral residues in the soil have less resemblance to the original rocks . There are larger amounts of organic matter in the soil , too .

The process of soil formation results in the development of the soil profile . This is made up of a succession of horizontal layers of varying  thickness , from the surface to the parent rock . Generally speaking , there are three distinct horizons , known as A , B , and C . A is a top soil , which is coarse-grained and dark in colour because of presence of humus .

B is known as a sub-soil which contains  some of the products leached ,  or washed , out of the A horizon . The C horizon consists of parent material which has been weathered in the upper part , and unweathered rock below .

Any sample of soil contains particles of different sizes .These have been divided into the following size groups ;

          

 

                                   T A B L E   1

         Material                                            Diameter ( mm )

 

     Gravel                                                more than 2.0

     Coarse-sand                                              2.0-0.2

      Fined sand                                                 0.2-0.02

      Silt                                                             0.02-0.002

      Clay                                                     less than 0.002

 

Soils range from pure clays to pure sands  . Most of them contain various proportions  of sand , silt and clay and these varyingproportions  make up a soil`s textural class .The principal classes in order of increasing fineness  of material are sand, loam, silt  loam , silty clay loam , clay loam , silt and clay .

Any soil contains both mineral and organic matter . Clay particles are the most important of the mineral particles because they are the smallest .

Smaller sized particles have a greater exposed surface area than larger sized particles .

Smaller sized particles can react and combine with water ,nutrients and humus more easily than larger sized particles .Thus , a clay soil is more reactive than  any other type of soil .Humus from decomposed organic matter  is vital to a soil as it makes  a heavy soil lighter .In addition , it helps to bind the mineral particles together in ‘ crumbs’ .

Manures and Fertilizers.

                   Plant growth cannot if there is not a supply of minerals in a soil. The materials which are available for this purpose can be divided into two groups: the bulky, organic materials which are called manures, and the more concentrated, inorganic chemical substances which are called fertilizers. Farmyard manure, or dung, consists of a mixture of litter, solid excreta and urine. It contains three most important substances for plant materials-nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Manure is added to the soil for several reasons. It improves the physical condition of the soil. It also keeps up the level of humus in the soil, and maintains the best conditions for the activities of soil organisms. Finally, it makes up for the plant nutrients which have been removed by crops or lost by leaching and soil erosion.

Another kind of manure is green manure. This includes leguminous crops which grow quickly such as clover and Lucerne. Such crops supply additional nitrogen as well as organic matter. A leguminous crop which is ploughed under will add as much nitrogen to the soil per acre as 3 to 10 tons of farmyard manure.

Fertilizers are usually classified according to the particular food element which forms their main constituent. So, they may be grouped as nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphatic fertilizers, potassic fertilizers and so on.

The most commonly used fertilizer which contains nitrogen is ammonium sulphate, which is made from ammonia and sulphuric acid, and which contains 21 % nitrogen. This element encourages rapid vegetative growth and gives plants a healthy green colour. Another valuable nitrogenous fertilizer is urea, which is made from ammonia and carbon dioxide, and contains 46 % nitrogen.

The most widely used phosphatic fertilizer, super phosphate, is made by treating mineral phosphate with sulphuric acid. Phosphorous stimulates the formation of a plant,s roots, and promotes fruit and seed production. Tropical soils are very often poor in this element.

Finally, wherever high crop yields are expected, potash is used together with nitrogen and phosphorous. Potassium makes the plant tissues stronger. This helps the plant to withstand mechanical damage such as broken branches and torn leaves. In this way the entry of disease bearing agents, or pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi, is prevented. Potassium is important for all plants but particularly so for those that produce oil and starch or sugars. Oil palm and tapioca plants require potassium in large amounts.

It is usually supplied in the form of muriate of potash (potassium chloride), which contains 50 to 60 % potassium oxide (K2O) and sulphate of potash (potassium sulphate).

All plants are affected by the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. The less the nutrient supply, the more acid the soil becomes. Because mineral salts are basic, an acid soil has a low base content. Acidity makes some elements unavailable to plants. If a soil is very acid, with a pH value of less than 5*0, lime can be added to correct this acidity. The main constituent of lime is calcium, an important plant food. The presence of lime helps to make essential elements of plant food more easily available to plants. Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are more easily available in a well-limed soil than in an acid soil.
