Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Production and Trade of Puerto Rico Puerto Rico is an island in the West Indies located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It links the islands of the Greater Antilles, of which it is the smallest, to the west with the bridging islands of the Lesser Antilles stretching to the southeast to the continent of South America. Puerto Rico is slightly larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined, with an area of square kilometers square miles). The main island, Vieques, and Culebra are inhabited, but the other smaller islands off the east coast of Puerto Rico are generally devoid of per manent inhabitants. These smaller islands account for less than 2 percent of Puerto Rico's total land area. Puerto Rico has few natural resources other than its location, agricultural and forestry potential, and tourist appeal. Both in the past and in recent years, the island's destiny has been shaped by its location near or at the crossroads of impor tant discovery and transportation routes. Agriculture has long played a key economic role, grudgingly giving way to industry. The island's wide expanses of beaches in a tropical setting have led to an increasingly important tourist industry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1932 A test was made to determine the difference in yield of oil from mature and from immature leaves. A charge of 550 pounds of leaves and 300 gallons of water, when distilled for hours, yielded about 60 gallons of distillate. The mature leaves yielded 0 cubic centimeters of oil, and the immature leaves, cubic centimeters. Probably the use of tender, young leaves would have given a still greater difference.

Download or read book Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station 1933 Classic Reprint written by P Rico Agricultural Experiment Station and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1933 The loss per cane due to drying out of arrowed cane tops is esti -mated to be approximately four times as great for either of these J avan varieties as for Mayaguez 28 in fields where the latter blos soms. The advantage of Mayaguez 28 over p.o.j. 2725 is often greater than this, however, since arrowing is often practically nil for Mayaguez 28 in localities where p.o.j. 2725 blossoms profusely. Due to its comparative freedom from pith or hollow centers, Mayaguez 28 canes have a high specific gravity. At Coloso and Mayaguez they proved nearly one tenth heavier than water, whereas those of p.o.j. 2725 barely equaled water in weight. The combina tion of high sucrose content and high specific gravity results in low transportation costs per ton of sugar for Mayaguez 28. This item of expense is important where canes must be hauled 10. To 15 miles. Adaptability on I sabela red clay - Trial plantings made in 1931 demonstrated the adaptability of Mayaguez 28 to the friable red clay soil of Isabela. This soil is so loose that irrigation water soon after application drains away rapidly from below. On such soil a variety having a. Strong root system, drought-resistant foliage, and ability to cover the ground rapidly is required. Mayaguez 28 met all these requirements. At Isabela its foliage proved to be very drought resistant, its root system developed rapidly and functioned well even when deprived of irrigation water, and many and broad leaves covered the ground even more rapidly than did those of p.o.j. 287 8. As a result of the favorable growth made by the trial plantings and the satisfactory sugar production in the Coloso variety trial the Isabela cane growers rapidly extended the planting of Mayaguez 28. It now occupies 600 acres and is one of the principal varieties in the Isabela district. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Results from Mayaguez 3 and 42 on the Margarita farm In the San German Valley continued to be unfavorable. Both gave about the same sugar production as P. O. J. 287 8 in the Anasco Valley (fig. 2, A and B), but are not as adaptable as the latter to adverse soil conditions nor as cheap to cultivate and are not being extended. Mayaguez 7 equaled the production Of P. O. J. 2725 in first ratoons at the Quinones farm. However. Both P. O. J. 2878 and P. O. J. 2725 are regarded with greater favor on account Of their prolific stooling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality, and the federal budget. From the earliest developments of agriculture, a major goal has been to attain sufficient foods that provide the energy and the nutrients needed for a healthy, active life. Over time, food production, processing, marketing, and consumption have evolved and become highly complex. The challenges of improving the food system in the 21st century will require systemic approaches that take full account of social, economic, ecological, and evolutionary factors. Policy or business interventions involving a segment of the food system often have consequences beyond the original issue the intervention was meant to address. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System develops an analytical framework for assessing effects associated with the ways in which food is grown, processed, distributed, marketed, retailed, and consumed in the United States. The framework will allow users to recognize effects across the full food system, consider all domains and dimensions of effects, account for systems dynamics and complexities, and choose appropriate methods for analysis. This report provides example applications of the framework based on complex questions that are currently under debate: consumption of a healthy and safe diet, food security, animal welfare, and preserving the environment and its resources. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System describes the U.S. food system and provides a brief history of its evolution into the current system. This report identifies some of the real and potential implications of the current system in terms of its health, environmental, and socioeconomic effects along with a sense for the complexities of the system, potential metrics, and some of the data needs that are required to assess the effects. The overview of the food system and the framework described in this report will be an essential resource for decision makers, researchers, and others to examine the possible impacts of alternative policies or agricultural or food processing practices.
