Draw the NPK economy by showing how these nutrients are being added and lost in the soil system (Just a simple illustration-Boxes and Arrows with labels/descriptions - is enough to illustrate the soil nutrient economy) Each of the soil nutrient, N-P-K, should have a separate hand-drawings. Thus, there will be three (3) drawings.

What are the functions of soils in a rice field, and suggest management activities to maintain a healthy soil (a soil that can fully provide its full potential or function both to the plants and animals and the environment).
It is June in Fresno and the officials at the water district have just reduced your irrigation ration by 26%. In the field, you determine that the water potential in your soil is -1.68 MPa while the water potential of your crop is -1.62 MPa. Question A. Is your crop able to take up water from the soil? Explain. Question B. It is now late August and your soil water potential is -2.10 MPa, fortunately, you have been granted one magic wish in altering the physiology of your crop to increase its ability to take up water, however, you must choose from one of the options below. Fill in the values denoted by the ? as needed, and select the option that will cause the greatest water uptake by your crop. Option Vs (MPa) Vp (MPa) Vw (MPa) -1.90 0.00 -2.59 +0.13 -2.4 -2.09 -2.05 -2.28 +0.17 4.

1.1 Microbes in the soil could be beneficial to plants and one way to evaluate this is by determining the R/S ratio. Define the R/S ratio. 1.2 Both rhizospheric and root-free soils were collected from five (5) plants before (BT) and after (AT) treatment. Using the microbial biomass that appear in Table 1, the R/S ratios before (BT) and after (AT) can be determined. Use these values to determine the respective R/S ratios. Kindly show all workings.

You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots where your club mates show you their cherry tree that they've been having trouble with. Originally, its leave would change color and fall off the tree, as expected, in the autumn. However, more recently the leaves started changing color and falling off in the spring time. Which hormone does the tree likely have in excess and why?
