This document provides information on producing and marketing cover films for orchards and vineyards. It discusses global table grape production statistics by region. It then outlines the objectives of using cover films, which include better quality, protection from weather, more productivity, and the ability to advance or delay harvest times. Several tables show increased minimum and maximum harvests, productivity, and gross marketable production when using cover films compared to no cover. The document also discusses structure types, pest control, quality factors, and considerations for choosing cover films for different crops and cultivation objectives.
This document discusses green roofs and their benefits. It begins by defining green roofs as roofs covered in vegetation rather than just a waterproof membrane. There are two main types of green roofs - extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs are lighter and require less maintenance while intensive green roofs can support a wider variety of plants. Green roofs provide multiple benefits such as absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating wildlife habitats, and reducing the urban heat island effect. They can also improve air quality, increase energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of roofs. The document examines these benefits in further detail.
This document discusses protected cultivation, which involves growing plants under controlled environments using protected structures like greenhouses. It describes the advantages of protected cultivation as higher productivity, quality, pest control, and year-round production. The history of protected cultivation is outlined, dating back to Roman times. Modern greenhouses first appeared in Italy and Holland. The document then focuses on the history and development of greenhouses in India. Different types of protected structures are defined, and greenhouse types like ground-to-ground, gable, and quonset are described. Environmental control methods to regulate temperature, humidity, light, and CO2 are also summarized.
Plastic materials like polyethylene, acrylic/polyester, polyester, and fiberglass reinforced plastics are common cladding materials for greenhouses. Polyethylene is relatively short-lived but transmits 85-88% of sunlight. Acrylic/polyester combines weatherability and heat resistance but is susceptible to wind damage. Polyester has excellent transmittance and heat resistance but limited widths. Fiberglass reinforced plastics are more impact resistant than glass but proper installation is important. Shade nets made of plastic are also used as cladding to protect crops from weather.

This document provides an overview of green roofing, including its description, construction methods, layers, hydrologic cycle impacts, stormwater management benefits, costs and benefits. It discusses two main types of green roofs - extensive and intensive. Extensive roofs have shallow growing media and drought-resistant plants, while intensive roofs support a wider variety of plants and require deeper growing media. The key layers of a green roof are vegetation, growing media, drainage, root barrier, waterproof membrane and insulation. Green roofs can reduce stormwater runoff by absorbing and retaining rainfall, and help regulate urban temperatures through evapotranspiration. They provide environmental and economic benefits but also have higher initial costs than traditional roofs.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

Features
Unlike intensive green roofs, extensive
green roofs require little upkeep or main-
tenance.
The features at a glance:
‡ Minimum maintenance:
- Inspection and maintenance once
or twice per year
- Water and nutrient supply mostly by
natural means
‡ Plant communities close to nature:
- Undemanding
- Extensive
- Self-regenerating
‡ Low loads and build-up heights:
- Mainly substrates with layer depths of
up to about 120 mm
- Loads about 50-150 kg/m2
‡ Low-cost:
- For set-up and maintenance

System Build-up “Rockery Type Plants“
“Rockery Type Plants“
allows for an extensive
green roof with sophi-
sticated design and
individual character. The
“Rockery Type Plants“
substrate is applied with
a minimum of 70 mm
in depth. “Rockery Type
Plants“ vegetation consists of a wide
variety of species which results in a long
blooming period and allows for different
accents throughout the vegetation period.
Sedum species and other perennials
are primarily used as a ground cover.
Drought resistant perennials add flowering
accents and height to the design,
Dianthus carthusianorum for example
reaches up to 400 mm of height. The
build-up is realized by manually plan-
ting plug plants. Thus the desired result
can be predetermined. Furthermore the
colour spectrum is significantly more
differentiated in comparison to “Sedum
Carpet“.

System Build-up “Climate Roof”
as a Thermal Insulating Green Roof
The U-value (formerly k-value) of the roof build-up is determined essentially by the basic thermal insula-
tion and the Floratherm®
element. The table above is based on basic thermal insulation with a thermal
conductivity of 0.04 W/m2
K and an approx. 200 mm thick concrete slab.
If you apply the officially aproved Flora-
therm®
drainage elements as a substruc-
ture, the green roof build-up takes on the
function of an additional thermal insula-
tion layer.
Theses elements save costs for heating
and cooling and contribute to meeting
the requirements of energy saving regu-
lations in cases of refurbishment.

Perimeters
In line with the “German Guidelines for
Roofs with Waterproofing”, an upstand
height of at least 100 mm above the
surface covering is required at the roof
perimeter. The parapet should have a
covering that slopes towards the roof.
The protection mat and, where required
the root barrier, are drawn upwards and
secured.
Increased loads must be applied to loosely
laid roof waterproofing sheets around the
roof perimeter and corner areas where
there is high wind suction (high building,
exposed location …). This is very often
provided by means of sufficiently wide and
heavy edge strips consisting of concrete
slabs or grass pavers.
If in projects with high wind loads the
perimeter and corner areas of the roof
are to be part of the green roof, the vege-
tation cover must be closed immediately.
EcoSedum®
is ideal here. These pre-
greened grid elements are securely fixed
to each other by an interlocking plug
connection system. They are sufficiently
permeable when greened so that wind
suction forces cannot find purchase.
Pre-cultivated EcoSedum®
elements can
be used both in combination with con-
crete slabs (loosely laid waterproofing)
and on their own (adhered or mechani-
cally fixed waterproofing layer).

Roof Drains and

Wall Connection
The connection to walls needs to be
waterproof. Therefore the protection
mat, the waterproofing and the root
barrier are taken up at least 150 mm
above the finished surface of the green
roof build-up and fixed with a protection
profile. In front of facades the installa-
tion of additional drainage channels is
recommanded in order to lead rainwater
directly into the drainage layer. If only
little water is expected, a simple gravel
strip is sufficient.
Usually, the drainage of flat roofs is
achieved through roof drains. Their
quantity as well as their dimensioning
is to be determined in accordance with
European and German Standard DIN
EN 12056-3 and DIN 1986. Inspection
chambers make sure the roof drains
remain accessible and therefore can be
cleaned easily, if necessary.
National regulations as well as directives
brought out by insurance associations
prescribe the use of fall protection sys-
tems for works at height. The “Fallnet®

If the drainage of a green roof is to be
ensured by an external gutter, the green
roof build-up can be bordered by an
eaves profile, which is attached to the
waterproofing. Eaves profiles border the
build-up but allow for unhindered runoff
due to their drainage slots.
