the night sky.

Premier Celestron Scope was built primarily for beginners, as its name implies. The simplicity of it should not be confused with a lack of performance because it is enough to help children and even adults love their importance to observe the night sky.

Weighing six pounds, the Celestron Scope First is compact and portable.

Scope has a first mount Dobson style, which allows easy navigation and smoothly in all directions. The tube is a Newtonian, and that means a shorter focal ratio and a wide field of view. The glass is applied to optical images of the production components that are neat and clean. Celestron is known for producing quality and scope of First abound.

One of the reasons why the Premier Celestron Telescope Scope 21024 is suitable for beginners, because there is no assembly required. As simple as it is to use the features to read the manual carefully to maximize the product. This manual contains clear instructions that will help improve the appearance of the universe.

To prevent damage to your telescope, never point the sun room to prevent heat buildup inside. Do not use a sunscreen can eventually damage your eyes or break the telescope from the heat.

natural organic

In Kerala, South India, most of the tropical rubber tree plants very small, a typical holding of less than 20 hectares. Not the rubber plantations with thousands of acres of land. Kerala based CocoLatex Dunlop provides natural organic mattress retailer in the U.S.

The rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, or grows at higher elevations with good drainage and is not suitable for agriculture of mass production. Farmers with great care in planting trees to ensure their health. In more open areas, trees, pineapples are among the gum trees planted International. In mountainous areas, companion shrubs in the ground in the shadows and to maximize the water available for tree roots.

Rubber trees have three “skins” that are a little sensitive. Tapping a tree by hand, it is easy to cut too deep. Although farmers friendly for visitors and may even allow you to try the knife, you can feel their collective sigh when a fan violated the bark. Fortunately, an experienced farmer is rapidly reshaping the cup so that the serum is performed correctly. Walk from tree to tree in the shade, they end the daily pick-noon. At its height, each tree produces only 1-2 cups a day serum. Old trees produce less, and latex will slow towards the end of the annual cycle of trees. Years and in some places still, farmers use coconut half to collect the serum.

Farmers planted their assets periodically put in new plants. They treat the trees with great respect and care. For the first seven years, young trees are left to grow strong and remain unused. Rubber wood is a sustainable forest, and is gaining popularity in the United States.

CocoLatex The plant employs 80 professionals in various roles, whose livelihood depends on the remarkable benefits of the rubber tree. They produce the foam on a daily basis, emptying the barrels in huge mixers and centrifuges, testing and correction of the liquid mixture, filling the molds, steam cooking and washing to produce layers, and inspect the final quality of the leaves when dried. The finished plates are packed in plastic double and a puncture-resistant material.

Is transformed as renewable serum, revealed by a tree in many types of major products, rubber industry offers self-subsistence and comfort for many people and their families.

While the profound interdependence of people and trees is often overlooked, is the majestic eucalyptus tree is one of the most sustainable resources, renewable and reliable human production.

suppressing

Plants have their own defenses, which their enemies and plant pathogens. His inability to move is largely defensive adjustments that help plants to survive and reproduce successfully. One of the most important defense mechanisms is the production of secondary metabolites. These metabolites are chemicals that are not involved in photosynthesis in normal plants. Allelochemicals act as poisons for herbivores and in some cases, also reduce the digestibility of plant cell wall.

Some of the external structural features in the stem and leaves (spines, thorns, spines, etc) to deter herbivores greatly. These mechanisms of defense mechanisms to prevent, injure or kill the Grazer. Some defensive substances such as waxes, resins, lignin, etc are released into the epidermis of plants and herbivores avoid feeding on them.

Herbivores are the first link in the food chain as energy source for organisms that are of highest rank in the food chain. Plants are the only source of food for herbivores and the co-evolution of adaptations that allow them to help buy food, regardless of the defense mechanisms in plants. Some of these adaptations are:

* Synthesis of enzymes that can reduce the effect of secondary metabolites
* The existence of internal symbiotic bacteria, fungi or protozoa, which break down plant cellulose so it can be digested by herbivores helps
* The mechanical fittings, such as cutting teeth in moths, which helps them to eat the soft leaves. According to recent studies by Renato Almeida Sarmento and his team, led invading Tetranychus evansi manipulates its host (tomato), by interfering with signaling pathways involved in defense mechanism [1].

Primary hosts of T. evansi are solanaceous crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, snuff, etc. mites puncture the leaves during feeding, causing yellowing or bleaching of leaves. Then the leaves are falling and in the case of severe attack the plant dies. The research study showed that Sarmento T. evansi manipulate host defenses by suppressing the induction of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling pathways involved in defense mechanisms of plants in tomato plants. Salicylic acid and jasmonic acid play a crucial role in immunity of plants. Mites reduce the amount of inducible defense compounds and volatile substances (eg, protease inhibitors), which play a crucial role in plant defense. Control of pathogens affecting these crops is an important area of ​​research. The result of research by Sarmento allows a better understanding of plant-herbivore interactions. Opens the door to new research in two directions:

* Biological control of Tetranychus evansi at an affordable price to the farmer.
* Development of varieties in a position to fight against the manipulations of herbivores.

This can also be those who grow vegetables, “the savage craft” or selected herbs, making herbal products, teaching and consulting in the herbal medicine or supplements, as I said, in other professions, such as nutrition and natural medicine. Herbal medicines usually includes training courses and botanical identification of plants, human physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, history and philosophy of herbal medicine.

What career opportunities for students of herbal medicine LMS? Practitioners of herbal medicine who have completed training in the LMS market expected, you can and kind. With an increasing number of studies on the benefits of medicinal herbs and dissemination of scientific knowledge about the results of medical practice, interest in natural medicine and therapy has increased worldwide.

What are some occupations that a student may practice herbal medicine LMS? Career includes a store to sell advice on herbs and plants grow producers, and operation of small manufacturing companies that produce herbal products. Most plants are independent.

the earth

Natural resources, soil, a thin layer of organic and inorganic materials, the rocky surface of the earth. Bottoming out with a number of factors and time a. mechanical weathering of rocks by changes in temperature, wind, flowing water is connected, lichens are a few factors.

Pollutants, poisons, radioactive materials, salt, chemicals, if the deterioration of soils, soil texture and mineralogical composition was added. The biological balance of soil pollutant-degrading soil organisms. The negative effects of this pollution is low soil fertility, plants and animals, affecting growth.

The main causes of soil contamination are:

The occasional use of fertilizers
The occasional use of pesticides, insecticides and herbicides
Disposal of large quantities of solid waste
Deforestation and soil erosion
In the industrial pollution
Radioactive waste

Control of pollution

Various measures to control pollution of the soil are:

Reduction of chemical fertilizers and pesticides:

As soil erosion has become a major concern, we have three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

Thor are better alternatives to chemical fertilizers. These are microorganisms that are used to increase the fertility and the ability of soil to increase. This process also reduces the need for pesticides and fungicides in Biofertilization.

Practice of crop rotation – legumes can fix nitrogen from the air and thus to improve soil fertility. These plants can be grown in soil in cultures that consume a lot of nutrients.

Recycling

Recycling and reuse of materials such as glass bottles, plastic bags, paper, fabric, etc. at home instead of recycling, reducing waste pollution. The use of plastic bags has increased dramatically. Paper bags or jute bags is a good alternative for them. Clay toys can be a good source of entertainment for children.

Reafforestation

Heath, soil erosion and flooding can be controlled through afforestation. Vast forests have fallen victim of human greed. Everyone would decide on the earth, to plant trees to save the planet Earth.

Recycling

The biological treatment of wastes with anaerobic bacteria, such as methane and acetogenic recommended because it helps to go through and to less toxic organic forms.

It is time that people realize the importance of the rich and fertile ground for measures to prevent infection. Large parts of the desert, laughing with the people has created us. If you do not build tanks and containers fertile by nature, if they do not stop their destruction?
