Challenging Plants: Introduction/Pedagogical Overview

No comments

Plants have the potential to help us to meet many of the challenges facing Earth and its inhabitants. Their use may be divided into two broad themes: Products from plants and Phytomanagement. This PowerPoint presentation introduces the uses of plants – growing plants to obtain useful products and for phytomanagement - to the roadmap challenges. It summarises some of the underpinning chemical principles, concepts and ideas.

Challenging Plants: Soil Science - Practicals

In association with Reckitt Benckiser

The nature of soil particles (inorganic and organic) and of soil water affects plant growth and, in particular, the availability of nutrients essential for the growth of quality crops in high yield. An understanding of the media in which plants grow helps scientists to exploit their potential.

Plant science practicals

In association with Reckitt Benckiser

A collection of experiments that cover a number of topics that help students learn and understand the physical and chemical processes that occur in plants. Such as, how water is taken up by plants; how cellulose facilitates passive transport; and the how changes in the concentrations of nutrients in soil, affects plant growth.

Challenging Plants: Fertilisers - Practicals

In association with Reckitt Benckiser

Nutrients essential for plant growth are obtained naturally from soil or other growing media. However, supplies become depleted and fertilisers are needed to increase the availability of nutrients to plants. An understanding of chemical changes is used to making fertilisers, often designed to meet specific requirements such as particular nutrient ...
