True

The crop productivity is basically affected by pests mainly weeds, pathogens and animals. According to a research by E.-C. OERKE, the potential loss to wheat and cotton crop was 50 % and 80 % respectively. 25-30 % of soya bean is lost every year due to pest attack. Out of all pests the most dangerous is the animal which as per an estimate has high potential of destroying the crops up to 34% while pathogens can destroy 16-18 % of crops.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

This is not my answer, I found it on the internet.

No more solutes can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that consists of maximum amount and concentration of the solute that is dissolved in the solvent.

The extra amount of solute cannot be dissolved in a saturated solution.

The saturated solution is composed of solute and solvent and solvent cannot dissolve more solute at some extent.

The Caribbean monk seal was declared extinct in 2008. Although there are other types of seals on Earth, Caribbean monk seals cou
aliina [53]

The correct answer is - species.

The extinct Caribbean monk seal was a species of seal that lived in a relatively small area in only one prat of the planet. Also, this species lived in waters that are not typical for the other seals. Because the Caribbean monk seal was isolated from the other species of seals, its genes over time became different enough from the other types of seals so that they can not mate and produce offspring between each other. While the isolation made it a unique type of seal, it was also very unfortunate because it meant that it can not be saved, at least in a mixed form, by mating with other seals, so this species of seal went extinct.
