In Indonesia, roasted and salted cashews are called kacang mete or kacang mede, while the cashew apple is called jambu monyet (lit. 'monkey rose apple'). [citation needed] In the 21st century, cashew cultivation increased in several African countries to meet the manufacturing demands for cashew milk, a plant milk alternative to dairy milk. [35]
The rate at which a soil can absorb water depends on the soil and its other conditions. As a plant grows, its roots remove water from the largest pores (macropores) first. Soon the larger pores hold only air, and the remaining water is found only in the intermediate- and smallest-sized pores . The water in the smallest pores is so strongly held ...
A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...
Humid air is less dense than dry air because a molecule of water (m ≈ 18 Da) is less massive than either a molecule of nitrogen (m ≈ 28) or a molecule of oxygen (m ≈ 32). About 78% of the molecules in dry air are nitrogen (N 2). Another 21% of the molecules in dry air are oxygen (O 2). The final 1% of dry air is a mixture of other gases.
Etiella zinckenella, the pulse pod borer moth, is a moth of the family Pyralidae.It is found in southern and eastern Europe [2] and in the tropics and subtropics of Africa and Asia.
Plant density is defined as the number of plants present per unit area of ground. In nature, plant densities can be especially high when seeds present in a seed bank germinate after winter, or in a forest understory after a tree fall opens a gap in the canopy.
Meteorology deals primarily with the interaction of three elements: air, water, and earth. A cloud is a composite that mixes all three. Books 1-3 of Meteorology apply a method of explanation (contrary qualities) which explains different phenomena as an interaction of forces in a natural system (relations of agent and patient, potency, and ...
The mudan (Paeonia suffruticosa) was referred to as the "national flower" of China during the Ming and Qing era. [5] It was still recognised by many to be the national flower during the Beiyang government era, [5] [6] amidst calls to designate other flowers such as the Chrysanthemum to be the national symbol.
