Industrial crops of agriculture in Malaysia (RICE)

Hey everyone !

Okay this week is my turn to update this blog. Hmmm actually what do you think guys about what the topic that interesting could be share here ? I think i want to share with all of you about the industrial crops in our country , Malaysia . So as we notice that our country have many type of crops under agriculture sector for an example oil palm , rubber , coconut , cocoa , rice , coffee , sugarcane and so on. Hence, all this things were contribute to our economic growth as we know our Malaysian agriculture's characteristics are highly commercialized and efficiently managed. Furthermore, Malaysia has a suitable land,climate and also have a good weather for a lot of crops to growth. So now I want to story with all of you about the paddy or rice . As we know there are many cultivation of paddy or rice in Kuala Muda , Kedah or known as " Negeri Jelapang Padi " ( so unique what ! hehe ) ,  Seberang Perai , Penang and also Kerian/Sg Manik Seberang Perak  . 

So look at both of this picture , paddy field at Kuala Muda , Kedah ! padi nyaaa gemuk dan cun melecun macam Mak Cunnnnnnn !

So, now I want to start about how processing the rice. Yeah of course the processing rice shall be harvested paddy rice to get a good quality of rice to feed the Malaysian people. There have four process here in order to separate the hampas and jerami . So firstly is reap process. Do you know reap ? Reap in malay is "menuai" . In this reap process , there are two ways to practice the work of harvesting. First use the full labor such as cutting the stubble of paddy and second way is dissolve all in the special bins. Before the harvest time is coming, the paddy fields will be dried by passing water to the canal. This is done to facilitate the harvesting process. 

Haaaa this one is the machine that will be used during reap time !

The second process is slash . In malay we called it as "membanting". Slash is the traditional way . If nowadays we have a technology machine that can separate automatically the rice harvest from its stalk . So easily ! right ? Technologies make people easy to do everything in the world ! HAHA . Okay okay back on our related topic hehe. 

MEMBANTING or we can called that MEMUKUL PADI :)

Okay try to guess what is the next process ? Jengg jengggg ! The third process is blow process . " Proses mengangin " . This process is do to separate the grain from padi hampa. Then after that , the paddy was dried under the sun. 

Haa ni lah caranya untuk mengangin padi in order to separate the grain from padi hampa .

At last ! Manufacture process. The purpose of manufacture is to get rice from paddy. Among the methods used to separate the rice and paddy is the separation restrictions. Paring the production of rice depends on several factors. Among these factors is the water content in the rice and the rice is coated with the restrictions put in a separator. Rice will be graded according to certain criteria and placed in sacks or plastic for sale. So at the end we got a beras then boleh melantak secukup cukupnyaaaa hehehehehehe. I hope you all enjoy with this entry untuk minggu ni and hopefully this post can help to get more understanding about the actual process of this paddy to get a rice yang kita makan everyday tuuuuu . 

haa ni dia beras ! Beras unggul ke jati ke jasmin ke ! all of that comes through a lot of good process from paddy until we got rice !

JERAMI !

SEKAM PADI !

Okay that's all from me ! Bye uollsssss . Thank you sudi baca and jangan tidur tau ! muah ciked :*) 

Seed Bank

Hi, everyone! today I will tell you about seed bank. I too interested to this topic because it a new info to me! Bank have many meanings. One of the meaning is a supply or stock held in reserve for future use. One example for this topic is The Svalbard Global Seed Vault. What they do is preserve the seeds of world’s plant life. Means that they duplicate samples, or spare copies of seeds held in gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to insure against the loss of seeds in other gene banks during large-scale regional or global rises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the Norwegian government, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT) and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).

The seeds are stored in four-ply sealed envelopes, then placed into plastic tote containers on metal shelving racks. The storage rooms are kept at −18 °C (−0.4 °F). The low temperature and limited access to oxygen will ensure low metabolic activity and delay seed aging. The permafrost surrounding the facility will help maintain the low temperature of the seeds should the electricity supply fail. Here I put a picture so you get what I mean. ^_^. And another picture is entrance to the Vault. 

okay, I think that's all I want to story about this. I hope we'll see to next entrance. TQ! ><

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to all fellas. As we know that people in the world might be in a serious danger because of the climate change nowadays. It became from bad to worse.
         So first of all, what is actually climate change? Did we actually feel it in our daily life?
The answer is YES!!!! Let me give a few examples about these climate change. A car which is parked under a hot sun have a 80 Fahrenheit and after 60 minutes the temperature rose to 123 Fahrenheit. The temperature became extremely hot inside of the car because the greenhouse gases has been trapped inside the car. Same goes with the picture below.


This is the analogy of global warming. As the heat can enter the car and cannot out from the car and the car became extremely hot in 60 minutes. These are the greenhouse effect in a world nowadays. Same goes with the earth. The heat from the sun can enter into the surface. Heat goes in but heat unable to come out because of the greenhouse gases.
                 The greenhouse gases consist of CO2(carbon dioxide), CH4(methane), including of H20(water). N2 and O3(Ozone) which contains only 2 atoms are not the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas(CO2 and O3) are actually essential to life in Earth.
-They help keep the Earth warm for life.
-Without it, Earth mean temperature would be -35 from 28 degree celcius.
These are the examples of the impact of climate change. So? What are waiting for? Lets save the Earth!!!!

Hi everyone! okay today i will be posting an article about agricultural biotechnology.

 What is agricultural biotechnology?

 Agricultural biotechnology is a collection of scientific techniques used to improve plants, animals and microorganisms. Based on an understanding of DNA, scientists have developed solutions to increase agricultural productivity. Starting from the ability to identify genes that may confer advantages on certain crops, and the ability to work with such characteristics very precisely, biotechnology enhances breeders’ ability to make improvements in crops and livestock. Biotechnology enables improvements that are not possible with traditional crossing of related species alone.

How is agricultural biotechnology used?

Genetic engineering: Scientists have learned how to move genes from one organism to another. This has been called genetic modification (GM), genetic engineering (GE) or genetic improvement (GI). Regardless of the name, the process allows the transfer of useful characteristics (such as resistance to a disease) into a plant, animal or microorganism by inserting genes (DNA) from another organism. Virtually all crops improved with transferred DNA (often called GM crops or GMOs) to date have been developed to aid farmers to increase productivity by reducing crop damage from weeds, diseases or insects.

 Molecular markers: Traditional breeding involves selection of individual plants or animals based on visible or measurable traits. By examining the DNA of an organism, scientists can use molecular markers to select plants or animals that possess a desirable gene, even in the absence of a visible trait. Thus, breeding is more precise and efficient. For example, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture has used molecular markers to obtain cowpea resistant to bruchid (a beetle), disease-resistant white yam and cassava resistant to Cassava Mosaic Disease, among others. Another use of molecular markers is to identify undesirable genes that can be eliminated in future generations. Molecular diagnostics: Molecular diagnostics are methods to detect genes or gene products that are very precise and specific. Molecular diagnostics are used in agriculture to more accurately diagnose crop/livestock diseases.

 Vaccines: Biotechnology-derived vaccines are used in livestock and humans. They may be cheaper, better and/or safer than traditional vaccines. They are also stable at room temperature, and do not need refrigerated storage; this is an important advantage for smallholders in tropical countries. Some are new vaccines, which offer protection for the first time against some infectious illnesses. For example, in the Philippines, biotechnology has been used to develop an improved vaccine to protect cattle and water buffalo against hemorrhagic septicemia, a leading cause of death for both species.
Tissue culture: Tissue culture is the regeneration of plants in the laboratory from disease-free plant parts. This technique allows for the reproduction of disease-free planting material for crops. Examples of crops produced using tissue culture include citrus, pineapples, avocados, mangoes, bananas, coffee and papaya.
