Danish is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As
he cuts open the papaya, they discover great numbers of slime-covered seed inside,
surrounded by soft flesh and soft skin. Before papaya fruits ripen and the seeds inside
them mature, their flesh is bitter or sour. Only later does it become tasty.
Discuss how this feature improves the odds for the plant's reproductive success and
identify the possible agents to disperse the seeds.

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forwardAn introduction provides a reader with information about the importance and purpose of the Brassica rapa plant. It should be 4-6 paragraphs long.

- 1. A young student has recently inherited a rice farm and must decide which kind of planting to utilize. He/she discovered that transplanting or direct seeding might be used from Agri 32. How would you make a decision if you were in his/her shoes? What considerations does he/she have? 2. The same student acquired another 2-hectare property, but this one was near the base of the mountains, and hence had a more rolling landscape. He/she chose to plant coconut palms ten meters apart in a square pattern, with a mango tree in the center of four coconut palms. a. What will be the coconut population density? How many coconut seedlings should he or she prepare for the two-hectare property? With a 10% mortality allowance, how many seedlings should he/she prepare in total? b.
