Practical Botany
Author: Joseph Young Bergen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Botany
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Botany: There are already so many books embodying elementary courses in botany that whoever offers another should give reasons for so doing. As here set forth, the study of plants is related to everyday life more closely than is usually done. Those aspects of plant life are presented which have the largest significance to the public in general, and which are of interest and educative value to beginning students. The book includes the principles of plant nutrition, the relation of plant nutrition to soils and climate and to the food of animals and men; it discusses some of those diseases of plants, animals, and men, which are produced by parasitic plants; the propagation of plants, plant breeding, forestry, and the main uses of plants and plant products are given in an elementary way. The elements of plant life and structure are presented synthetically rather than by use of the special divisions of botanical study, which are more helpful to advanced students than to beginners. It is believed that this mode of treatment stimulates and develops a scientific method of thinking by directing attention to the plant as a living unit and a citizen of the plant world. No attempt is made to include references to such recent discoveries in the field of botany as are botanically significant but not important for elementary instruction. Chapters I and II are so arranged that a student may secure a general introductory appreciation of the significance of plant structure and work. It is intended that Chapter I should be used as a means of raising questions concerning the place of plants in nature. Chapter II presents an outline of the five dominant structures of seed plants, and the kind of work that is done by each.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
There is magic in forages. It's the magic of sunlight, green leaves, and photosynthesis. This magic has created a vast array of plants that contain the protein, fiber, and starch upon which our livestock depend. The challenge is to make this magic work for you. We need to develop the skills and the knowledge to grow forages effectively and sustainably. This book offers a distillation of that knowledge for anyone interested in the modern concepts of grazing - especially for the grazier who raises livestock on forages.This is not a dry textbook or a collection homey anecdotes. Rather, we get under the hood with down-to-earth essays on the practical skills and underlying science. Sometimes with a bit of humor.This is a fun read. In sixty-two entertaining chapters, you'll find no-nonsense information on grazing techniques, forage growth, soil fertility, nutritional quality, hay and silage. You'll learn how to look at a pasture and know when to open the gate and what happens to forages during grazing. There's even a chapter on the forage nutrition of dinosaurs. And the last section of this book is special: a practical in-depth handbook on improved pastures. It's a systematic outline of the skills of Management Intensive Grazing.These pages will open doors to a wizardly world of forage skills. You'll gain knowledge that will enrich your days and help you make good decisions about your farm or ranch. This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. And - grazier or not - you'll never again drive past a pasture without seeing it in a different light.
