In this picture, the farm manger, Taylor explains on how we identify male and female papayas and how they can reproduce. ​

​Here are the coffee trees and still reproducing which is why the color is green. When the color is red it means it's ready to harvest and to make a coffee.

In one of our gardens, we found a mango beatle which is an predator to flowers, but also an bad insect in some way. They destroy  some flowers in either  other  plants  or same plants.

Questions: 
1) Beneficial insects in agriculture  are important  because with out them we would have to resort to dangerous pesticides  or our crop would die. Also, the insects help pollinate the plant, they collect pollen and bring it to other plants and it pollinates.
2) Insects can be beneficial in different systems because they can function as pollinaters, predators or decomposers. Each insect has their own process on how they support the plants.
3) Yield Potential  is to choice which plants is better and which plants can benefit you more. Yield Potential is to give all the nutrients that plants needed to grow and produce better seeds
