Transcript: Soil Erosion Havana Vail Introduction TOPIC 1 Soil erosion has become a major problem for farmers. It occurs when wind or water has blown and/or washed away the top soil particles. it is a natural process that causes erosion as well as reduces the nutrients and proteins that plants need to grow. Types of Erosion Types of erosion Types of erosion include Sheet erosion, gully erosion, rill erosion and tunnel erosion. Sheet erosion Sheet erosion is the removal of the first thin layers over an extensive area of land Gully erosion Gully erosion is caused by over flowing surface water that has been concentrated in natural depression in the land washes away soil and deep gullies are formed. Gully erosion begins are rill erosion . Rill erosion Rill erosion is the removal of soil by concentrated water running through little streams Tunnel erosion Tunnel erosion is caused by motion and movement of excess through subsoil that has been washed away TOPIC 2 Some facts - In deserts, high winds send tiny particles hurtling up into the air. These tiny particles actually have the power to change and shape rocks TEXT - ice can also be a cause of Erosion - Glaciers can also cause erosion - Erosion can also have positive impacts such as new soil gets spread over the impacted area PICTURES of Erosion PICTURES Maintaing and improving soil erosion In recent years there have been many new way farmin methods that help maintain the soil matter. This includes mulching, planting a cover crop, and reducing the amount of tillage. This is typically done whist preparing for a new crops. TOPIC 3 - Soil errion is natural When and where does soil erosion occure? - Ocuures all over the world - Occures due to water, wind and gravitational movemnet MAP MAP Australia Erosion can occure everywhere Aboriginal land use - Aboriginal land use allows the help to prevent the occurrence including burning using tea tree bark and a torch - Aboriginal people were skilled farmers as they created their own techniques for agricultural purposes TOPIC 4 - development of new methods over time - Rotation of pasture as this allows grazing land for animals as well as build soil tilth and fertility Aboriginal Land use Land use

Transcript: 44% of Canda's crop production comes from Saskatchewan Bio-security has become more important as well so that the industry may continue to thrive in Saskatchewan. There are many varieties of crops grown in Saskatchewan. Wheat is one of the most commonly found among them. This crop is grown throughout Canada, but the major area is in the western Prairie region. Average annual production of all types of wheat in Canada from 1997-2001 was around 24.5 million tons.Several different types of wheat are grown in Saskatchewan. Farmers have to invest in large portions of land and expensive equipment Farming has become larger for one key reason: The percentage of farmers in Canada is 2% of our population. This means that those few people are working to feed and support the other 98% of the population The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) possibly has the highest investment in the world for biotech wheat. They are developing a wide range of traits such as resistance to yellow mosaic virus, head scab, powdery mildew, and insect. A wheat line with resistance to yellow mosaic virus is expected to be available in the market by 2015. The Henan Agricultural University is also developing sprouting-tolerant wheat, to get rid of the 20% loss in production due to early sprouting. This was expected to be commercially available by 2012 or 2013. Wheat is also being developed to be safe for people with celiac disease, which is caused by the consumption of gluten that leads to damage to the small intestine resulting in obstructed absorption of nutrients from food, and hence malnutrition. Washington State University (WSU) is currently conducting experiments using genetic techniques to remove the celiac-causing gliadins in the wheat grain with improved baking quality traits. The variety is also expected to contain more lysine, an essential amino acid that is usually scarce in wheat Wheat plants undergo the tillering, jointing, boot, and heading and flowering phases before becoming fully ripe. Agriculture of Saskatchewan Wheat is subject to numerous diseases, including bacterial, viral and fungal diseases like rust and bunt. This grain also has a number of pest which can inhibit its growth including the Hessian fly and the Cinch bug. Durum wheat Agriculture in Saskatchewan is the production of various food, feed, or fiber commodities to fulfill domestic and international human and animal sustenance needs. Durum wheat is grown exclusively in the western Prairie region of Canada, and primarily in the province of Saskatchewan. It is planted in spring, from May to June, and harvested from August to October. Durum wheat is the only tetraploid species of wheat of commercial importance that is widely cultivated today. Its high protein content, as well as its strength, make durum good for special uses. It is unusual in that, despite very high protein content, it is low in desirable gluten needed to form a glutinous web necessary for bread to rise. Thus most breads are not made with 100% durum flour. Farming is how a large percentage of the Earth's population gets its food, and Saskatchewan is no exception from this fact. Small farms that produced multiple resources like corn, peas, cows, barley, and chickens have vanished from the industry due to the increasing popularity of specialized farming. Now one farm will have thousands of chickens while the one next door owns acres upon acres of planted barley fields. Elongation of the stems and quick head growth go hand in hand. The individual wheat florets prepare for pollination and fertilization. Up until now, the developing head has been enclosed in a sheath. Now it emerges and a few days later, pollination begins. The pollination of the florets in a head takes about four days. Pollination leads to the formation of kernels. The kernels grow over the course of about a month. Maturity is easy to see because the head changes color from green to amber. Maturation takes about 120 days. Before becoming a farmer, one must understand the science involved and be able to invest time in researching. Wheat is easily grown in soils such as chernozemic soils which have high organic matter levels, gleysolic soils which have high water content, luvisolic, organic, and solonetzic soils. Good moisture and available organic matter is important in producing a healthy crop of wheat. Saskatchewan is Canada's most important grain-producing region, supplying 10% of the world's total exported wheat. Saskatchewan is the world's top exporter of green lentils and chickpeas. Our pulse crop sector has grown into a billion-dollar export industry that employs more than 1,000 people. Tillering refers to wheat plants growing shoots. How many the plant grows depends on its variety and growing conditions. Three is a normal number. These shoots are in addition to the main shoot from which leaves emerged. A fully developed tiller ends up producing grain, but not all tillers will get that far. Tillers that grow at the
