Drought is the main constraint for agriculture sector. What is the major consequence of water insufficiency in plant? *
The practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields. First, a plant without a nitrogen-fixing relationship. such as corn, is planted. After the harvest, a nitrogen-fixing plant replaces the initial crop. Instead of harvesting the nitrogen-fixing plant, however, it is plowed under. The cycle continues in this manner. Crop rotation would allow the farmer to reduce which of the following? O Planting seeds. O Watering the fields. O The use of manufactured fertilizer. O The burning of fossil fuels by farm equipment. In the year 2000. specimens of Caulerpa taxifolia,a green alga used in tropical aquariums, were found off the coast of California. Native to the indian Ocean, C. taxifolia is known for aggressive growth and an ability to compete with sea grasses.Jt is currently on an intemational list of invasive species. Which of the
