Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to
stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however
if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on
quality.
High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage
fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the
fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and
the animals will be less keen to eat it.

Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is
incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury
uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if
insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also
occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool
temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after
application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a
period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot
convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant.

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they
are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and
for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may
in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this
is often not significant.
Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.
<u>Question</u><u>:</u>
Most destructive kind of mass movement
a. Slump
b. Mud-flow
c. Landslide
d. Creep
<u>Answer:</u>
Most destructive kind of mass movement is Landslide
Explanation:
Landslide are the form of mass wasting, which results in downward movement of soils and those rocks which because of the gravitational force. This landslide is made up of five other phases like falls, topples, slides, spreads and flows etc. when these landslides occur inside the submarine leads to tsunamis which results in the damage in coastal areas. Most of the mass movements occurs due to the weathering, or can say erosional debris cover on the slope which are prone to mass movement
In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.
Explanation:
Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.
In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass
The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:
hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.
A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.
The cells grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.
The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.
To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.
Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.
Patent fingerprints are made by a liquid or powder that sticks to the finger and then transfers to a surface, leaving an easily visible fingerprint behind. Substances that can leave patent fingerprints are ink, blood, dirt, flour, grease, etc.
Just drag em not that hard bro this is super ez
