Some days ago my friend and I were just chatting and as usual i was
discussing with him about my burning enthusiast for AGRICULTURE!
In
the course of the conversation he asked me what are the applications
of chemistry and sciences knowledge in agricultural development so i
decided to share the answer with some of my readers on this Farm, am
so sure you will love to get this knowledge today and apply it for
ever!
MUST READ BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON CLIMATOLOGY EFFECT ON AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT.
There are incredible utilization and benefits of chemistry
knowledge and even sciences in general in the field of agriculture and
these benefits includes:
1. Composition and formulation of fertilizer:
there are lots of chemicals used in agriculture to improve yield and
productivity and most of the chemicals are gotten from chemistry and
even the application are monitored by chemists.
2. Application of
pesticides: in agriculture, pesticides are used to kill pest on farm
lands that might destroy farm crops, the dosage of applying them is
gotten from chemistry.
3. Also the formulation of vitamins, feeds
of animals and its ratio, vaccines fore animals ned the basic
knowledge of chemistry.
4. To understand the biological and
physiological process of all domesticated livestocks and plants are
all based on the knowledge of Biology and chemistry.
5. Suitable and
reliable soil pH is very important in plantation farming so as to get
the best result and most of this practices is done by agronomy and
specialists in envireonmental chemistry.
6. There are some chemical
compounds that help impreove farm yields and a good example is ethene
which is used to fasten the ripeness of fruits.
7. Compounds like
Glycerine, gotten from organice chemical compounds are used to pack
perishable fruits because they do not let moisture escape from fruits.
8. Compounds like egg gotten from poultry birds are used industrially
in the production of some consumable and non-consumable goods all made
possible through the knowledge of chemistry and its application.
9.
Genetic is a scientific and chemistry application that involves
dealing with the gene of animals to improve their growth, production,
reproduction and their yield in general.
10. Most of agricultural
products that includes forest trees and even some organic plants are
used as raw materials to produce vaccines and drugs this research are
all carried out by agricultural chemists in the laboratory!
-->
Am sure
with thess few points you will doubtlessly believe in me that
Chemistry as an incredible application in the agricultural industry!
