Plastic is the most critical component in our present scenario. Almost 1 thing will be plastics if you touch any three things in the present world. It has marked itself to be useful in many applications. There are many numerous applications there they are played a critical role. There are many applications where they have saved lives and other components. They are very famous for their easy manufacturability and that they have many other properties which make them unique. The easy to form different materials by combining the two mixtures have also led a very vital role so that they make their way to the most reliable thing in the world. There are many other useful things that the plastics are used for. Although they have many advantages to support their side there is also many disadvantages which make these marvels to scrap. Some of the disadvantages of using these materials are that they are the major sources of green house inducers which can increase the green house gases and hence they can increase the green house effect in the atmosphere. There are many such cases where they can be able to kill us all due to the harmful gases that come from their manufacturing. Some of the related fields which have been affected cue to this plastic entry are the clothing which has seen many new varieties of cloths which have many new varieties of the mixtures and portions of the resin content in them.
Influence of Carbon
This has increase the carbon content in the atmosphere which is the most significant green house inducers which has now been in a very high alarming concentration which has therefore increased the carbon content in the materials and in the atmosphere. Thus plastics is the main reason for the green house effect hence this green house effect is called as the plastic green house. This kind of plastic greenhouse has made the temperature of the earth to rise. The material is in such a way that it has more number of disadvantages than the number of advantages. They have there fore increased the pollution in the atmosphere. Also the production of plastics is going in a very high rate there by increasing the air pollution and hence increasing the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere and hence reducing the oxygen content. Some other causes of the green house gases are the melting of ice caps and its consequence is rising in the sea level.

The best regions for raspberry production aren’t very hot in summers, and there shouldn’t be any rain in harvest season. Most suitable soil is rich in organic matter, and can hold water with good drainage. Soil thats is very heavy, light, or with bad drainage should be avoided. Read the rest of this entry »

The purpose of dairy farming is the same as all other animal husbandry branches, profit. Milk is the most important product of dairy farming. Amount of profit made from this depends on efficient production and quality of the milk produced. For this reason; raising and care of cattle and proper barn conditions play a big role.To reach the desired levels of production, some guidelines on milking must be followed.

A drought is a natural danger that has many negative effects on ecology and human activities. A drought might become a catastrophe at any moment.
While this natural climatic event occurs step by step very slowly, as it persists the consequences become very dangerous. Usually related to lack of rainfall and therefore lack of water, a drought causes diminished agricultral production and may lead to famine and death. For this reason, it is a very serious social and economic problem. Read the rest of this entry »

Research shows almost %70 of all water consumption consists of watering. In our country, %75 of yearly usable 110 billions cubic meters of water is used in agriculture. The coming years will lead to more consumption with greater needs to feed the growing population.
Korea Boseong Greentea Garden
The ignorant and primitive watering not only wastes water but also damages the soil. Drip irrigation prevents both unnecessary use of water and soil damage while providing the plants with just enough water.
Natural Enemy of Salt
Watering done in random intervals in hot climates with little rain to improve the production, leave the salt in the field. It will also raise the sub surface water levels and the salt they contain. When the waters vaporise through the intense heat, leaves the salt in the soil. Salt prevents efficient production. Even good quality water leaves 1.1 tonnes of salt in 10 acres of land in such conditions.

Harvest: Hazelnut harvest in our country is usually done by hand picking and shaking the tree and collecting the nuts that fall. Hand picking method has been prevalent in earlier years, but the growth in production and manpower costs has made the latter method more feasible.
Storage: Hazelnuts are stored in sacks or in large containers. The warehouses that will store nuts should:
It makes cakes, beautiful and delicious
- Have a few opposing windows open for ventilation with protection against winged pests.
- Not be warmer than 15 or 20 degrees.
- Not have water pipes run through them.
- Have walls that will not let moisture through after constant rain.
If the nuts will be stored for more than one year, the temperature shouldn’t be above 4 degrees and the moisture should be around %60.
Pruning: Pruning of hazels start with initial shaping when they are first planted. Throughout their productive lives, pruning is one of the most important actions that help with yearly growth, yield and lifetime. Pruning causes trees to grow in shapes that allow more production and help with harvest and pest control. The pruning of root shoots keeps the nutrients for trees that produce hazelnuts.

Climate Requirements: Hazels can only grow sufficiently to yield large amounts of nuts in moist, temperate climates. The perfect example of such climate is Black Sea region of Turkey. While hazels can be grown in hotter climates which are not as moist, the lack of rainfall warrants constant watering.
Soil Requirements: Hazel roots spread a lot and will not go too deep into the soil, going only as far as 80 centimeters deep in sloped areas. The soil requirements aren’t too steep but as always soil that is rich in nutrients and deep will contribute to the production.
Chocolate Mini Muffins with Toasted Hazelnuts
Planting Period: Hazels should be planted between October and the start of spring. In regions with warm winters, October-November, in regions with harsh winters or high altitude February-March, when it will be warm, is advised. The advantage of planting in autumn is being able to replace the trees that aren’t satisfactory before spring, therefore not losing time.
Fertilizers: From the moment hazels are planted, fertilizers are very important in hazelnut production to ensure quality yield and health. To get the desired results, soil must be tested to decide which kinds of fertilizers are required. Hazels normally grow in soil with ph values of 5-7. Values less than this have detrimental effect on growth.Lime can be added to combat acidity and best time to do this would be November and December. Periodically tests must be conducted to see if adding more lime is required.
Lime and phosphorus shouldn’t be added to the soil in the same year. The fertilizers with nitrogen should be sprinkled 50-60 centimeters away from the trunk under the leaves and mixed with the 3-5 centimeters of depth in soil. This will help pest control as well as proper distribution of fertilizer.

Soil, is a living thing. Like all living things, it needs air, moisture and warmth. If we don’t work on it with correct techniques, we can’t harvest as much as we’d like, we only get as much as it’s able to give. If we process our soil properly we will provide moisture, ventilation and warmth which is a good environment for the growth of plant root systems.
Soil Food Web
The goals of soil processing is:
- Preparation of seedbeds.
- Weed control.
- Removal of foreign objects on the surface and making sure manure is mixed correctly with the soil.
- Preparation of field for watering and control of erosion.
It is a common misconception in our country that more plowing leads to more production. The farmers even become proud when they plow their fields two or three times each season. But scientific research shows too much processing actually hurts the soil. It is bad for yield and production costs. The soil must be worked on just as much as it requires, not too little, not too much.

The United States Department of Agriculture is home to a little known mortgage program that’s actually quite large. Along with VA loans, USDA mortgages are the only zero down mortgage product on the market today. Homebuyers can finance rural property and even small farms with some of the USDA’s mortgage programs.
Types of USDA Loans
Loan Guarantee Programm – Section 502 This program functions similarly to FHA loans; the lender makes a loan, not the USDA itself, however the USDA guarantess the to pay the lender the full amount should the borrower default. This program is attractive because it does not require a down payment.
Mutual Self-Help Program – Section 523 This loan program enables borrowers to buy a fixer-upper or personally build a new home and use their own labor to build some “sweat equity.” Homeowner’s must commit to doing 65% of construction or repair work on their own.
Home Repair Loan and Grant Program – Section 504 This refinance program helps low income homeowners obtain a USDA refinance and borrow to fix major issues such as a leaking roof or foundation crack. Generally this program is coupled with a grant that makes the interst very low–sometimes as little as 1%.
Qualifying for a USDA Loan
USDA Loans are made to families with incomes below 80% of the median in their area. This is specifically meant to help lower income borrowers that could not afford a conventional mortgages. Also, USDA loans must be issued in “rural” areas. Rural is defind as areas with 20,000 residents or less and is loosely enough interpretted that many suburbs of large cities can qualify.
