Biodiversity of India Special Focus on Telangana & A.P
Biodiversity, a portmanteau of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.
According to the United Nations Environment Programmers, biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, the species, and the ecosystem level.
Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics.
Bio diversity
This document defines biodiversity and discusses its types, values, distribution, and importance for balancing nature. It outlines threats like habitat loss and overexploitation, as well as conservation efforts. Key points include that biodiversity encompasses genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity, and provides values like consumption, production, social/cultural, and ecosystem services. Most biodiversity is in tropical regions. Anthropogenic threats endanger many species, but conventions aim to promote conservation.
6 bio divercity- . s
Biodiversity refers to the variety and number of living organisms within an ecosystem or on Earth. It exists at three levels - genetic, species, and ecosystem biodiversity. Genetic biodiversity refers to the diversity within species and between populations of a single species. Species biodiversity is measured as the variety of species within a region. Ecosystem biodiversity refers to the variety of ecosystems like forests and wetlands within a region. Threats to biodiversity include habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, climate change, overhunting, and natural catastrophes.

erosion problems in india and punjab
Soil erosion is a natural process where topsoil is removed by physical forces like wind and water, but it has been exacerbated by human activities like agriculture and deforestation. In India, about 119.2 million hectares of land are affected by soil erosion, resulting in the loss of 5334 million tonnes of soil per year. Some states that commonly experience erosion are Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, and parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In Punjab, over-irrigation has led to issues like waterlogging, increased alkalinity and salinity in soils, degrading about 39% of

The document discusses the grading and certification of crops in India. It outlines several parameters used for grading crops such as size, shape, color, and maturity. It also describes several certification marks in India including AGMARK, BIS Hall Mark, FPO Marks, India Organic, and FSSAI. These certification marks are used to ensure food quality, safety, and labeling standards. Machinery can be used to sort and grade crops based on these parameters.
Ecosystem – Biomass, Succession
This document defines key terms related to ecosystems and ecological succession. It defines an ecosystem as a geographic area where plants, animals, and organisms interact with weather factors. Biomass in an ecosystem refers to the total living tissue divided into trophic levels. Ecological succession is the natural development of communities over time, starting with pioneer communities that establish and progressing to climax communities. Main drivers of succession include winds, fires, erosion, and natural disasters, which destroy populations and allow recolonization and adaptation.

Distribution ,host Range ,life cycle ,types , damage and control and chemicals that kills termites . Acetamiprid 20% sc Insecticide
Ankit Sharda is an insecticide that controls aphids, jassids, and white flies. It is effective for 8-10 days when used at a dose of 1.25 grams per liter of water or 20 grams per 16 liters of water. The insecticide is manufactured by 10 different companies under various trade names.
Insecticide definition ,types and classification .
This document defines insecticides and classifies them in several ways. It begins by defining insecticides as substances used to kill insects and notes they are toxic to humans. It then describes two main types: systemic insecticides, which can be absorbed by plants and spread throughout their tissues, and contact insecticides, which only affect areas they physically contact. The document further classifies insecticides based on their chemical composition, mode of entry into insects, mode of action, toxicity levels, and which insect life stages they target (such as eggs, larvae, pupae, or adults).
Aloe vera
Aloe vera grows best in temperatures between 55-80°F with bright sunlight. It grows in various soil types but prefers well-drained soil with high organic matter. Proper cultural practices include spacing plants 40-60 cm apart, regular irrigation and weeding, applying manure and fertilizers, and harvesting leaves 3-4 times per year. Aloe vera yields 15-20 tonnes per hectare annually but can reach 30-35 tonnes with good irrigation and management. Its leaves contain various chemicals that provide health benefits like boosting immunity, promoting hair growth, preventing cancer, treating skin ailments, and aiding digestion.
Potato varieties
This document discusses potatoes. It provides the botanical name of potatoes as Solanum tuberosum and states that the top potato producing states in India are Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Orisa, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttaranchal, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. It also classifies potato varieties into four groups: early, mid, late, and processing, and provides examples of varieties in each group.
Fall armyworm
This document provides information on the case study of the fall armyworm in India. It discusses the introduction and life cycle of the fall armyworm, including its eggs, larvae, pupae, and adult stages. The document also examines the spread and impact of the fall armyworm in India since 2016, listing the top 5 states affected. Furthermore, it shows damage images and provides recommendations for control in maize crops, listing specific insecticides like Spinetoram, Chlorantraniliprole, and Emamectin Benzoate and recommended quantities for application.
Apiculture
The document provides an overview of apiculture (beekeeping). It discusses the systematic position of honey bees, the history of beekeeping, common species of honey bees, the structure of bee colonies, and modern beekeeping methods. The bee colony consists of the queen bee, worker bees, and drone bees. Worker bees perform different tasks as they age, such as cleaning, guarding, and foraging. Modern hives use Langstroth's "bee space" theory of leaving optimal distances between frames and surfaces.
Transgenic animals
The document discusses transgenic animals, which are animals with modified genomes created by inserting foreign genes. Transgenic animals are made to study how genes affect body functions and disease development, for testing drug toxicity, and to improve genetic traits. Advantages include increased growth, improved disease resistance and food conversion rates. Disadvantages are that inserted genes may have multiple effects and cause breeding problems or disorders. The document also discusses how transgenic animals can benefit agriculture through improved breeding, disease resistance, quality of animal products, and industrial uses such as goats that produce silk and toxicity-resistant animals for chemical safety testing.

N.C.F (swaminathan report)
The National Commission on Farmers submitted several reports with suggestions to achieve faster and more inclusive growth in India's agriculture. The commission was chaired by M.S. Swaminathan and submitted its final report in 2006. Key recommendations included implementing land reforms, expanding irrigation, increasing productivity, improving access to credit and insurance for farmers, ensuring food security, preventing farmer suicides, making farming more competitive, generating rural employment, and preserving biodiversity.
Agro forestry
Agroforestry involves deliberately growing trees in combination with crops and/or livestock on the same land. It provides ecological and economic benefits by utilizing resources more efficiently than monoculture systems. Some common types of agroforestry include silvopasture (combining trees, forage, and livestock), alley cropping (growing trees and crops in rows), and forest farming (cultivating crops under a forest canopy). While agroforestry increases productivity and profits by improving soil and providing shelter, it also requires more complex management than other systems.
Farm bill 2020 -
This document summarizes key aspects of three recent bills passed in India related to agriculture:
01. The Farmer Produce Trade and Commerce Bill allows barrier-free intra- and inter-state trade of farm produce outside of government-regulated wholesale markets (mandis). This threatens state tax revenues and mandi jobs.
02. The Farmers' Empowerment and Protection Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill allows pre-agreed pricing for contract farming but contains loopholes and may not benefit small farmers.
03. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill removes commodities from essential items lists, allowing unlimited corporate stockpiling which could artificially impact prices against farmers after harvests

Biological control of insects pest with reference to predatores and parasitoi...ankit sharda personal
Biological control uses natural predators and parasitoids to control insect pests. It has several advantages including being highly economical, selective with no side effects, and causing no harm to humans, livestock or other organisms. There are three main approaches: conservation of natural enemies, classical biological control which introduces natural enemies from the pest's native range, and augmentation which mass produces and releases natural enemies. Predators directly consume prey while parasitoids lay eggs on or in the body of the host insect, which is ultimately killed. Common biological control agents include ladybugs, dragonflies, wasps and flies.Introduction to food science food group
This document provides an introduction to food, including its definition, physiological functions, and social and psychological roles. It defines food as any substance that provides nutrients to support an organism. Physiologically, foods are categorized as energy-yielding (carbohydrates, fats), body-building (proteins), or protective/regulatory (vitamins, minerals). Socially, food connects communities and symbolizes acceptance. Psychologically, food satisfies emotional needs like security, love, and acceptance. The document also notes that foods are commonly grouped according to their nutritional value to aid in diet planning.
