In traditional agriculture

There has been very little research conducted on the morama bean, largely because it is found in the wild and only consumed by a small percentage of the population in the coimtries where found. However, in these areas, it is used by indigenous communities as a source of food, feed, shelter, and medicine, thus contributing to improve the quality of life in traditional agricultural and forest systems in various ways. The morama has enormous potential value that needs to be exploited for the... 

Tricolorin A (46) and G (47) are prototype members of this class of amphiphilic glycoconjugates (24). They constitute the allelochemical principles of Ipomoea tricolor Cav., a plant used in traditional agriculture in Mexico as a cover crop to protect sugar cane against invasive weeds. Their molecular mechanism of action likely involves the inhibition of the FT-ATPase of the plasma membrane, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in plant cell physiology. Moreover, 46 acts as a natural uncoupler of photophosphorylation in spinach chloroplasts. This compound also displays general cytotoxicity against several... 

In industry, production systems are more rigid and jobs are more defined. In contrast, in traditional agricultural labor, workers are not employed in a given task or precisely stipulated, the worker performs various tasks, and should organize their time in order to allow the completion of all of them. 

Perhaps the highest nitrogen inputs in traditional agriculture were reached during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in parts of South China where year-round cropping is possible, particularly in Sichuan s Red Basin and in the lowlands of the southern provinces, especially in Guangdong s Zhujiang (Pearl River) delta. 

Because of heavy reliance on relatively small-sized, and often poorly fed, oxen and horses, draft power in traditional agricultures was rather limited. In Europe and North America this changed only with the introduction of more powerful and better-fed breeds after 1700 weak animals still abound in Asia and Africa. Primitive ards, scratch plows that, unlike moldboard plows, did not overturn the furrow, also made proper incorporation of crop residues very difficult. The evolution of animal power and plows is traced in Smil (2), pp. 30-35, 40-49, 57-73, 85-86. 

Largely roughage-fed cattle in traditional agriculture would thus produce manure with as little as 0.3% N, while the manure of modern heef cattle fed high-protein mixtures may contain more than 4% N see Powers et al. (17).

In its development, it adapted two existing technologies, In the agricultural sector, the mechanics of grain elevators provided a model for how to move solids vertical distances and in closed-loop flow arrangements. Sacony engineers modified the elevator bucket systems traditionally used by the grain industry to carry hot catalyst from the bottom to top of vessels and between vessels.

One way of dealing with the Berlin Philosophical Faculty s point of view was to develop a distinction between "pure" and "applied" science so as to distinguish general chemistry from its particular uses in pharmacy, agriculture, manufactures, brewing, and wine making. This distinction allowed chemists to teach as academicians in the philosophical tradition but to continue to advise municipal committees on sanitation measures and perform assays for local industries. 

Traditional agriculture views soil as a relatively inert holder of moisture and nutrients. Effort is made to conserve the soil, maintain its structure and resupply nutrients and water as they are removed. The easiest and cheapest way to supply water is through irrigation. The easiest way to supply nutrients is in the most concentrated form, high-analysis chenucal fertilizers. 

Many related variables effect both nutrition and marine resource development in the Pacific. A number of factors have contributed to a change in traditional dietary patterns, to different agricultural and fishing practices, and to a dependence on imported foodstuffs. Food preferences, particularly for refined carbohydrates, have...
