SS 2 Second  Term Agricultural Science Lesson Note 

Below are the 2022 Complete SS 2 Second Term Agricultural Science Lesson Note

Week One and Two: Pasture and Forage crops

INTRODUCTION:

Forages and fodder are primarily nutrition sources for ruminant animals since these species are capable of producing useful outputs from these natural resources that humans do not eat directly. The products that animals generate provide crucial nutrients for human life. Therefore, forage resource management for the manufacture of ruminant animals is largely complementary to the cultivation of food crop. To learn more, click here.

Week Three: Forest Management

INTRODUCTION:

From cutting carbon emissions and purifying rivers to supplying wood for houses and pulp for paper products, trees and forested habitats are a vital part of our earth, our economy and our way of life. Agriculture, timber processing, industrial design and human settlement are the primary purposes for which forests are cleared. In the tropics, where there is a long tradition of cattle husbandry, the conversion of natural forest to pasture is widespread. When roads were built, the larger trees were cut down and the damage was completed by pastoralists. The majority of the wild animals in the area have become endangered or extinct, along with the trees. To learn more, click here.

Week Four and Five:  Floriculture

INTRODUCTION:

Floriculture or flower farming is a discipline of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and for floristry, comprising the floral industry. Beautiful tree or flowering plants which can be used to decorate our environment are called ornamental plant. Ornamental plants are plants that are grown for decorative purposes in gardens and landscape design projects, house plants, for cut flowers and specimen display. These plants grab the attention of all due to their attractive colour, beautiful design and mesmerizing look. To learn more, click here.

Week Six and Seven: Diseases of Crops

INTRODUCTION:

Plants are vulnerable to diseases, just like any other living creature. Every adverse deviation or modification from the normal functioning of physiological processes is involved in crop disease. Diseased plants, therefore, suffer from disruptions caused by normal life processes and their essential functions.

Farmers’ worldwide work to avoid and eliminate numerous diseases from their crops to achieve high yields and healthy crops. Each crop is vulnerable to a specific disease that affects the potential for quality and final yield. To learn more, click here.

Week Eight and Nine: Pest of Crops

INTRODUCTION:

A pest can be classified as any organism capable of causing damage to crop plant. Pest are animals, insects, germs or other organisms that interfere with plant growth. They may bite, destroy food crops or damage farmland produce.

Types of Crop Pest

There are six classes

– Insects

– birds
