Agriculture/aquaculture

• Agriculture


  Producing commodities which maintain life, including foods, fibers, forest products, agricultural crops, horticultural crops, and their related services
• Global major agricultural products

  • Foods
  • Fibers
  • Fuels
  • Raw materials (such as rubber)
• Myanmar's agricultural exports


  • Rice
  • Maize
  • Blackgram
  • Greengram
  • Pigeonpea
  • Chickpea
  • Sesame
  • Onion
  • Tamarind
  • Raw rubber
  • Vegetables
  • Fruits
• Commercially cultivated agricultural crops in Myanmar

  • Cereals
  • Pulses
  • Oilseed crops
• Rice (Oryza sativa) production

  • Rain fed lowland rice
  • Winter rice
  • Deep-water rice
  • Upland rice
  • Irrigated rice
• Monsoon season


  Main rice production season as rice paddies rely on copious amounts of water
• Rain fed lowland and irrigated lowland


  Two dominant rice production systems
• Horticulture


  Does not include the intensive crop farming and large-scale crop production or animal husbandry, focuses on the use of small plots with a wide variety of mixed crops
• Major types of horticulture

  • Olericulture
  • Pomology
  • Viticulture
  • Floriculture
  • Turf management
  • Arboriculture
  • Landscape horticulture
  • Postharvest physiology
• Olericulture


  Vegetable growing, dealing with the culture of non-woody (herbaceous) plants for foods
• Pomology or Fruticulture


  Production of fruits and nuts
• Viticulture


  Production of grapes (largely intended for winemaking)
• Floriculture


  Growing and marketing of flowers and ornamental plants for floristry
• Turf Management


  Production and upkeep of turf, artificial and live, for use in recreation
• Arboriculture


  Cultivation and care of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants, primarily to maintain individual woody plants and trees for long-term landscape and amenity purposes
• Landscape Horticulture


  Selection, production and care of plants used in landscape architecture
• Postharvest Physiology


  Management of harvested horticultural crops to determine the best storage and transportation conditions to optimize shelf life after harvest
• Hydroponic culture is a type of hydroculture that involves growing plants without soil.
• Life on Earth is simply diverse, resilient, powerful, intelligent and mystifying
• The cell is a basic unit structure and function of an organism
• Evolution

  The process of change that has transformed life on Earth
• Mariculture


  The cultivation of marine organisms in fish farms built on littoral water
• Plant fibres


  These cells are parts of the plant skeleton
• Types of plant cells

  • Parenchymatous
  • Collenchymatous
  • Sclerenchymatous
  • All of these
• Whenever we get sick, we consult a doctor
• The doctor gives us medicines and we get well
• Sources of nutrients in hydroponic systems


  • Fish excrement
  • Duck manure
  • Purchased chemical fertilizers
  • Artificial nutrient solutions
• Plants commonly grown hydroponically


  • Tomatoes
  • Peppers
  • Cucumbers
  • Strawberries
  • Lettuce
  • Cannabis
  • Arabidopsis
• Advantages of hydroponics

  • Decrease in water usage in agriculture
  • Potential for food growth in harsh environments
• Hydroponics takes much less water to grow and produce
• Aquaculture is also known as aquafarming
• Aquaculture


  The farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs, algae, and other aquatic plants
• Aquaculture practices


  • Cultivating freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater populations under controlled or semi-natural conditions
  • Contrasted with commercial fishing
• Fish farming


  Commercial breeding of fish, usually for food
• Important fish species used in fish farming

  • Carp
  • Salmon
  • Tilapia
  • Catfish
