Arthropoda is the phylum of animals that include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others that are characterized by the presence of jointed limbs. Arthropodology (from Greek; arthron = joint, podos = foot & logous = to study) is a biological discipline concerned with the study of arthropods . Entomology (from Greek; entomos , "cut in pieces or engraved/segmented", hence "insect"; and & logous = to study) is the Scientific study of Insects and a branch of arthropodology. Entomologists are the scientists who study, collect, rear and experiments on insects. The insects are easy to work upon for a number of reasons, easy to culture in lab, short life cycles, rapid population turnover and lesser ethical concerns to experiment on insects compared to other vertebrate insects. Honeybee on a Sunflower Biodiversity of Insects Over 1 million species have been described and work has been published, but the estimated number is much higher as well as many specie

Economic importance includes useful as well as harmful aspects of the fungi. The graph represents outline of the economic importance of the fungi. Outline of the Economic Importance of Fungi Advantages of Fungi 1. Primary agents of Decay Biomass production in forest is controlled by wood rotting fungi. If fungi (and bacteria) were not present, there would be heaps of dead organic matter on face of Earth. Fungi are able to digest cellulose and lignin (major components of plant cell walls) to simpler organic matter. For example, Ganoderma and Armillaria . 2. Medicinal Purposes Fungi are important source of antibiotics (= against bacteria). For example, Penicillin is extracted from Penicillium chrysogenum . Cephaloporins are antibiotics extracted from Cephalosporium acremonium . Ganoderma lucidum and Fomitopsis officinalis are used in herbal medicines since ancient times. 3. Used as Food Many mushrooms have been grown since ancient times to use as food. These can be easily grown on w

Weeds not only cause problems in our agricultural fields, but they also make the life troublesome for the common man, infesting the home gardens, health issues like allergies due to pollen, polluting the water bodies and so on. The following article is in the continuation of weed science and we will see the troubles caused by weeds. A gardener using sword to eradicate weeds from fallow land 1. Lower Crop Yields Weeds in the agricultural fields provide competition to the crop plants in a number of ways, for example, for nutrients, light, water and allelopathic compounds. This reduces the crop growth and yields. Management of these weeds is an expensive but necessary part of modern day agriculture; hence increasing the cost of production. 2. Lower Animal/ Livestock Yields Livestock yields are also reduced due to weeds. The presence of weeds in the agricultural land reduces fodder crops or range forage additionally presence of poisonous weeds may can health hazards, reduced growth of an

Weed science is the scientific discipline that deals with the study of weeds or plants that interfere with human activities. But first of all we must try to establish what is a weed because weed is defined in a variety of ways depending upon the situation. But the most common definition is that; A weed is a plant growing where it is not desired or a plant out of proper place. Weeds are included into the pests of plants, crops, water courses and gardens. Hence, they require proper management and control options. The chemicals used to control pests are called pesticides , whereas the chemicals used to control weeds specifically are called herbicides . While a herbicide targeting a particular weed or a group is called weedicide . A piece of land infest with Convolvulus arvensis Weed control is an offshoot of weed science which is most significant, well learnt and practiced. The application depends upon available information, resources, environmental conditions and economic status of t

According to a recent study published in Pakistan Journal of Agriculture Sciences, it was found that the farmers in the rain-fed zones of Punjab can increases wheat productivity through increased technical efficiency within the same limits of input use and technology. These scientists analyzed the technical efficiency in wheat production in the rain-fed cropping zone of Punjab through stochastic Cobb-Douglas production frontier. The study was conducted over randomly selected 70 farm households. And the data from 2009-10 wheat production was analyzed in the present study. The mean efficiency was found out to be 47.1%. the results were suggesting that technical efficiency improvements must be made, hence, production can be doubled in rain-fed zones of Punjab. The results also suggested that the efficiency can be made by better moisture conservation of the rain water, irrigation and investment in the water resources of the farm. Seed rate on the other hand showed negative impact on produ
