The Honeybee in Agriculture?

                         

 

Honeybee play big role in agriculture. They pollinate  crops , Increase yields , and give rise to a lucarative honey industry . Bees  are so important, in fact , that millions are spent renting hives to pollinate farmers crops. Over one third of the food  we eat relies on pollination by Bees, either directly or indirectly.

There are five important spices of honeybees and they are listed below

• The Indian hive bees
• The rock bees
• The little bees
• The European and Italian bees
• Dammer Bees or stinglessbess

Honeybee are big money makers for Indian agriculture. These social and hardworking i sects produce six hive products. Honey pollen, royal jelly, and venom all collected and used by people for various nutrition and medical purposes. 

Are honey Bees important? 

globally there are more honey bees than other types of honeybees and pollnating insects, so it's world most important pollinator of food crops.

what is urban agriculture and types?

                                              

Urban agriculture can be described as the growing of plants and the rearing of animals primarily for food and other domestic use within a city or a town and its environs. It also involves activities such as the production, producing, marketing, and delivery of farming products. urban agriculture consists of a number of production systems. they vary from domestic production and household level processing to large scale agriculture .the are usually done within the city periphery.

urban agriculture shows great potential in the fulfillment of basic human needs, it not only provides food but also ensures a sustainable distribution and production system thereby creating employment opportunities and regular income for individuals. It also helps countries in the protection of their environment and saving upon their foreign currency and transportation costs.

                                                           

 common types of urban agriculture?

• backyard gardens
• greenhouses
• forest gardens
• rooftops fardens
• green walls
• vertical farms
• tactical gardens
• street landscaping

future of agriculture?

                                                   

   Future agriculture will use sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology, these advanced devices, and precision agriculture and robotics systems will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.

                                               

 The future of agriculture?

Drip irrigation:

 

 Agriculture accounts for 70% of all water usage. the agriculture industry needs to focus on improving water quality and also address water scarcity. this water conscious solution also translates into economic saving for farmers.

Precision farming:

 Many things can happen over the course of a growing season. precision farming technologies can help eliminate uncertainty at least further reduce risks. precision farming involves gathering data via connected hardware like GPS-equipped tractor or sensors.

Drones in agriculture:

 Imagine a drone that, in addition to mapping the cropping area, will also example: identify where the weeds are, which type they are , disease, and localize the application of agrochemicals.

Focus on soil health:

 Soil health could very well be the next frontier in farming. while we know the benefits of reduced tillage in preserving soils and preventing erosion and moisture loss, we are still in our infancy regarding the complexities of the soil biome.

Enhanced hybridization:

 The use of hybrid seeds enables better heterosis in unfavorable soil and climatic condition such as saline soils and rainfed ecosystems. better water stress tolerance in hybrids endured good yields even in case of low rainfall as witnessed over the last few years

 Short duration hybrids produced more in less duration and thus consume less water.hybrid seeds with inbuilt traits can provide additional disease tolerance.

climate effetcs on agricuture systems?

                                                    

     The positive impacts of global warming include the increase in crop productivity due to the fertilization effect caused by the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, expansion of the areas available for the production of tropical and subtropical crops, expansion of two crops farming due to the increased.

     For each plant variety, there is an optimal temperature for vegetative growth, with growth dropping off as temperature increases or decreases. similarly, there is a range of temperatures at which a plant will produce seed.

     Despite technology advances, such as improved varieties, generally modified organisms, and irrigation systems, the weather is still a key factor in agriculture productivity, as well as soil properties and natural communities.

     The effect of climate on agriculture is related to variabilities in local climates rather than in global climates patterns.

     Climate change induced by increasing greenhouse gases is likely to affect crops differently from region to region.

                                                                

     In long terms, climate change could affect agriculture in several ways:

• productivity, in terms of quantity and quality of crops.
• agriculture practices, through changes in water use and agriculture inputs such as insecticides and fertilizers. 
• environmental effects, in particular in the relation to frequency and intensity of soil drought,soil erosion, reduction of crop diversity.
• rural space, though the loss and gain of cultivated land, land speculation, land renunciation, and hydraulic amenities.
