Trophort: Agricultural Crops http://trophort.com/agriculture/crops/... Growing field crops is the art, science or practice of systematically cropping food plants in significant quantities to be harvested as food, livestock fodder or for other purposes. This page provide information about agricultural techniques to produce cereals, energy crops, fodder crops, grains and other plants.

Comparative study of Capsicum initial forms http://olericulture.org/research/000/019/... Chili is the fruit of the plants from the genus Capsicum. Although Chili peppers and their various cultivars are now grown around the world, they originate in the Americas and have been a part of the human diet there since at least 7500 BC. There is archaeological evidence at sites located in different parts of South and North America, from Peru to Mexico and parts of Colorado and New Mexico that Chili is one of the first cultivated crops in the Americas.
Influences of water management on cotton production in Texas http://pomology.org/research/000/200... Cotton yield in Texas is directly related to water available from rainfall and irrigation. Due to the solid soil structure in that area, plants take up water from the topmost layer only since root systems are unable to penetrate the subsoil. Deep ploughing is required in many such soils in Texas.
Water management in arid areas of the developing world http://trophort.com/research/002/002/... Managing water resources in arid areas of the developing world has been a challenge for thousands of years. Cropping systems are usually closely linked to irrigation systems in agricultural-oriented societies. Knowledge about water management is usually distributed between generations. Under present conditions where proven engineering choices exist, water management strategies can be adapted to existing agricultural structures. Such drastical measures may be required to improve subsistence-level survival in such dry environments.
Arabidopsis thaliana, model organism in genetics http://pomology.org/research/000/101/... Native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, this small plant has one of the smallest genomes and can complete its entire life cycle in six weeks. These attributes makes the plant useful for plant biology and genetics. Genetic mapping and sequencing including plant transformation by transfering DNA to the plant's genome has become standard in this species.
Viruses of plants, animals and humans http://trophort.com/research/002/001/... Viruses are submicroscopic infectious agents that infect host cells to grow and reproduce. This chapter provides a list of older and recent publications on this subject, stressing its importance in the life sciences including agriculture, horticulture and human medicine.
A New Zealand death from malaria http://pomology.org/research/000/100/... Malaria is the world's most serious tropical disease, affecting 400 million people a year and killing approximately 2 million, most of them being children. Following the death in New Zealand of a 14-year-old girl infected with Plasmodium falciparum in Papua New Guinea, it became apparent that the disease is no longer restricted to the tropical world only.
