Flood debate: Should we build on floodplains?

John McRae of ORMS said: 'In our continued struggle to resolve the housing crisis the government has seen fit to encourage, or at the very least has not discouraged, development in flood plains.

Understanding the Tick Life Cycle

Jun 14, 2011During this development, ticks go through four stages of life. These stages are egg, larvae (or seed tick), nymph, and adult.

Plant breeding

Plant breeding started with sedentary agriculture and particularly the domestication of the first agricultural plants, a practice which is estimated to date back 9,000 to 11,000 years. Initially early farmers simply selected food plants with particular desirable characteristics, and employed these as progenitors for subsequent generations, resulting in an accumulation of valuable traits over time.
