Chapter 57, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors that might limit the losses which occur due to crop pests.
Introduction:
Some plants need protection against the pests while some plants are evolved enough to protect themselves by developing their defense mechanisms. Those plants that do not have any defense mechanism are needed to be protected.

Write briefly on integrated pest management in crop production
What factors make for an effective biological control strategy of pest management? What risks are involved in biocontrol? If you had to decide whether to use biocontrol against a particular pest, what questions would you want to have answered before you decide?
You're growing cabbage and have noticed your plants have lots of insects and disease. Explain how you could use integrated pest management to help your crop be successful (either for the current season or in the future).

Many Machine Learning techniques have been used to analyse the agriculture parameters. Some of the techniques in different aspects of agriculture are studied by a literature study. Blooming Neural networks, soft computing techniques plays significant part in providing recommendations. Considering the parameter like production and season, more personalized and relevant recommendations can be given to farmers which makes them to yield good volume of production.

Outline form is not acceptable. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion, but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely before you begin. An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below. CUMULATIVE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION O Variety A 7"C - Variety A 17e O Variety B 7°C • Variety B 17°C 20 40 Time (min) 60 8. In a second experiment, variety A seedlings at both temperatures were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD*.
