Seminar

A small-group meeting focused on a specific topic, featuring one or few presentations followed by in-depth discussion and Q&A among participants.

Symposium

A formal gathering of experts who present papers or talks on a shared theme, often with moderated panels and limited audience interaction.

Workshop

The Online Study Space Community is your hub for academic growth and collaboration. Engage in meaningful discussions, access exclusive resources, and participate in group challenges. This group is perfect for anyone seeking motivation, guidance, and a sense of belonging in their studies. Together, we can achieve more and celebrate every milestone!

Plant pigments are colored molecules essential for plant life, primarily enabling photosynthesis and providing coloration.

The most common is chlorophyll (green), which absorbs red and blue light to convert light energy into chemical energy. Carotenoids (yellow, orange) act as accessory pigments, absorbing wavelengths chlorophyll misses and protecting the plant from photo-damage. Anthocyanins (red, purple, blue) are water-soluble pigments, mainly in fruits and flowers, which help attract pollinators and seed dispersers, and offer protection against environmental stresses like cold and UV light.

The Horti-Silvi-Pastoral system is a specific type of agroforestry that sustainably integrates three different land-use components on the same piece of land.

​The name breaks down the components:

​Horti (Horticulture): Involves the cultivation of fruit trees, vegetables, or ornamental plants (e.g., in orchards).

​Silvi (Silviculture): Involves the growing and management of forest trees, which can provide timber, fuel, fodder, and improve soil health.

​Pastoral (Pasture/Livestock): Involves the management of grasses and legumes (pasture/forage) and the grazing of livestock (like cattle, sheep, or goats).

🌿 Natural Farming Message

Embrace natural farming! By working with nature, we cultivate healthier soil, grow nutritious food, and protect our environment. Say no to chemicals and yes to biodiversity for a sustainable and prosperous future.

For an element to be considered an essential nutrient, it must meet specific scientific criteria. These criteria ensure that the element is absolutely necessary for the life and health of an organism, not just beneficial.

While the concept applies to all living things, the most clearly defined scientific criteria come from plant biology (botany), known as Arnon's criteria of essentiality.

Here are the primary criteria used to determine if a nutrient is essential:

* Necessity for Life Cycle: The organism cannot complete its normal life cycle—which includes growth, development, and reproduction (like producing seeds in plants)—without this specific element.

* Specific and Irreplaceable Role: The function of the element is unique. No other element can substitute for it to perform the same physiological or biochemical function.

* Direct Involvement in Metabolism: The element is directly involved in the organism's metabolic processes. It is not just merely present or acting indirectl…
