Stop Motion Plant Information

In the History of Tomato has gone back from early Aztecs as around the 700 A.D therefore it has been believed that the tomato is native to the Americas. It was not until around the 16th century that Europeans were introduced to this fruit.

Tomato has their origin in Peru. The tomato was brought in Europe in 16 century but until 19 century that raw tomatoes wasn't eaten people thought that the tomato was poisonous till that time.

Facts: The first tomato plants were planted in Greece by a Friar Francis in 1818, in the gardens of a Capuchin monastery at the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates (built in 335 B.C.) in Athens. There are at least 10,000 varieties of tomatoes.

Crop Rotation
What is Crop Rotation/why is it important?
Crop rotation is a time-honored process of planting annual crops. The strategy involves changing the type of crops that are planted in a given section of field each growing season. There are several benefits connected with this approach that help to increase the chances for successful crops each season. Field crop rotation normally involves a rotating cycle that is utilized for anywhere from two to four years. That is, the same section of land is not used to grow the same crop or a crop of the same species more than once in the specified period. Instead, crops that are very different will be planted in that tract of land in the interim period. One good example of vegetable crop rotation can be found on a small farm. For the first year, a given field may be used to plant corn. The following year, that same tract of land is used to grow string beans. For the third year, that same section of ground is host to tomato plants. Finally, corn is returned to the field at the beginning of the fourth year. Crop rotation is one of the oldest and most effective cultural control strategies. It means the planned order of specific crops planted on the same field. The planned rotation may vary from 2 or 3 year or longer period (Modern Homesteading,2009). Crop Rotation is important because it get nutrients in the soil then another plant can use that and put other nutrients into the soil.

Crop rotation in commercialized farming
Crop rotation is not a new tool for farmers, the Romans practiced over 2,000 years ago. The basics haven’t changed that much from 2,000 years age. Crop rotation promotes soil fertility, can reduce plant disease, help prevent weed infestation, and last but not least, lessen the risk or impact of insect infestations and thus lessen the need for costly and sometimes environmentally unfriendly pesticides in the field. Like only business practice, crop rotation needs to be planned and adapted into your particular set of farming circumstances some may be changed to suit your current land conditions and market demands for example you might want to consider replacing a residue crop with a no-till crop of an equal or greater residue. (Southern States2009)

Using crop rotation and animals
A variety of animals and plants rotated across the same lands allows each to take what they need. Each animal and crop is considered for what beneficial effect it might have on the soil and their health of is paramount. Good crop rotation that includes animals will reduce the amount of labor involved in farming in many cases. The animals go out in the fields to harvest their share of crops rather than the farmer taking the crops to the animals. Pigs are the finest free rot tillers ever created! They will clear the land, plow it, and harrow it nearly ready for seeding with no more labor on the part. While they do all this they are producing food for your table. Natural crop rotation shows us that it is wrong to keep the same species of animals on the same small fields for too long, or grow the same crop in the same land for too long. Observing nature shows us that growing one crop only, or keeping one animal only is not good farming practice. Good crop rotation that includes animals will reduce the amount of brute labor involved in farming in many cases.(modern-homesteading2009)
Composting and Crop Rotation
Using compost can encourage beneficial bacteria and fungi to grow; helping to create nutrient-rich, moist soil while also eliminates or reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Cover crops are also used in place of conventional pesticides to keep weeds and pests at bay. Have you ever noticed that weeds always seem to take over a bare patch of your lawn? Cover crops take up space where weeds would like to make their home at. The idea behind using cover crops in the pest control is to control lure beneficial pests, such as ladybugs, to the field all year around and to kill unwanted pests from the main crops.(science.howstuffworks)
Use of legumes for soil fertility
Growing legumes and working the whole crop into land as green manure plowdown is one strategy. Since legumes fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere, green managing can maintain or improve soil fertility without direct costs for fertilizer. Nitrogen is not “free” as the costs for green manure nitrogen include seed and the seeding costs, stand termination and residue incorporation costs, and lost revenue, since their crop produced during the year of plowdown. A legume fruit is a simple dry fruit that is called pod, although pod is also applied to a few other fruit for example alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupines, mesquite, carob, and peanuts. (Agriculture Information2009)
Eating seasonal food
An important part of buying local is food that grow closet to your areas it doesn’t have to make long shipping to you and using less fossil fuel making an effort to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables when in season in your area. Today's global marketplace allows us to buy foods grown anywhere in the world all year round. (Sustainable Table 2009) Food miles such as those used in air-freighting out-of-season produce. Glasshouses and polytonal heated to provide out-of-season produce also add to global warming. Same glasshouses and polytonal blight the environment. Lambs that are bred and raised in their natural season do not need the same amount of specialised feed and housing. What is good eating in early October that's Fresh for example: Almonds, Apples, Artichokes, Arugula, Beets, Bell Pepper, Bok Choy.(Sustainable Table 2009). When you buy local seasonal food you often supporting farmers who use the practice of crop rotation.

Best Practices

Rotation

If people what to grow a plant they should look up how long it take to grow and you can find this at worksheet it show what type of plant grow fast or slow. You should look at the worksheet.

Farmer in Chief

I think the article was try to information about how everything effect the world how people really care about until it happen. So many uses fossil fuel in car and more it effect the world now health care is risen “In addition to the problems of climate change and America’s oil addiction, you have spoken at length on the campaign trail of the health care crisis. Spending on health care has risen from 5 percent of national income in 1960 to 16 percent today, putting a significant drag on the economy.” He want to get the point out their so people can understand that what going on in world. “Nation that opened their markets to the global flood of cheap grain (under pressure from pervious
administrations as well as the World Bank and the I.M.F.) Lost so many farmers that they now find their ablilty to feed their own populations hinges on decisions made in washington (like your predecessor’s precipitous embrace of biofuels/ and on Wall Street
