In class, we will review the presentation linked here.
Please use your book, the presentation and your lecture notes to answer the following questions. NOTE: There are links within the presentation that will aid you in answering Warm-Up #10
Warm-Up/Write-Up #10
- Identify ONE soil characteristic that is required to grow ONE specific crop (identify the crop).
- What measure of that characteristic is required for the crop?
- What test could be conducted to evaluate the characteristic in the soil?
- What soil amendment could be used to change the characteristic?
- What role has the technological advancement of agriculture played in global food supply? (In other words, what would happen to global yields in the absence of modern fertilizers?)
As a reminder....we are not permitted to meet during testing Thursday or Friday. I am available after 3:00 PM on either day if you have any questions about this assignment or the Chapter 10/22 readings.
As another reminder....we have a Unit Test on November 20th covering Chapters 10/22 and the Green Revolution article. Anything mentioned in the above is "fair game".
