Taylor from kualoa ranch teaches seeds4tomorrow participants about cover crops, papaya, and other Ag related topics on the farm. Ben takes seeds4tomorrow participants on a tour of the garden. Janis and Synthia from DLNR educates seeds4tomorrow on insect identification and classification of decomposer, predators, pollinators. Insects such as 1 honey been on sunflower Potato bug in Dirt, Stink bug (pest) on chard, Chinese swallow tail butterfly (pest) near crownflower, Carpenter bee on hibiscus, Oriental flower beetle where caught and identified. 1- Beneficial insects are important in agriculture because they kill bugs that are bad to crops, they help with the earth's soil such as earth worms providing nutrient in their waste, and they also polinate crops which help them to grow.
2- Same insects are not always beneficially in different systems this is because they ruin some crops for example the cabbage butterfly babies, they eat the cabbage but the butterfly polinates it. 3- Yield potential is how much your plant produces and you can maximize this by making sure your plant your plant gets enough water, sunlight, etc. Basically taking care of it good so that it grows strong.
