In a folder, I have 5 different .csv files. I want to upload these files to R and combine all of them because the data format (number of columns and structure) is the same. While you can certainly upload them one by one, imagine a scenario where you have 100 datasets. Will you upload all 100 of them individually? No! That would be a waste of time. In such cases, you can use a simple code to upload multiple files…

The Science of Apical Dominance: Why Topping is Critical for Hemp Plants?

The Science of Apical Dominance: Why Topping is Critical for Hemp Plants?

Comments 0 Comment

In hemp cultivation, “topping” refers to the process of selectively cutting off the upper portion of the plant during its vegetative (growth) phase. This practice holds a central and essential role in plant training, as it encourages horizontal growth and optimizes light utilization, resulting in increased yields. When a plant is topped, the two auxiliary buds located just below the cut site develop into full-fledged branches, often taking on a Y-shaped structure. These secondary branches can also be subjected to…

Early Hemp Growth: A Vertical and Horizontal Stacking of Leaves

Early Hemp Growth: A Vertical and Horizontal Stacking of Leaves

Comments 0 Comment

In the early stages of growth, hemp plants tend to exhibit a pattern of stacked leaves, both horizontally and vertically. This growth pattern is characterized by leaves arranged in pairs at regular intervals along the stem, and as the plant grows, these pairs of leaves may be found at different vertical levels on the stem. This phenomenon is a typical part of the plant’s vegetative growth phase, where it is actively developing its leaves and stems. As the plant matures,…

In hemp plants (Cannabis sativa), the highest concentrations of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol) are typically found in the female flowers, especially in the resinous trichomes that cover the flowers and leaves. These trichomes produce the cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, as well as other compounds such as terpenes, which contribute to the plant’s aroma and flavor. Hemp plants are typically grown for their industrial uses, including the production of fiber, seeds, and oil. In many hemp cultivars, the THC…

This is one of the research projects called ‘Agrivoltaic’ in which I’m currently involved. Ideally, ground-level solar panels help keep the soil moist, while also keeping the crops cool during the day and warm at night. In turn, the plants assist the panels in transferring water from the soil into the atmosphere. The plants keep the panels cool—and efficient—during the day, resulting in more energy production. However, crops underneath solar panels could have a confounding effect due to shading. Shading…

Soybean growth stage: R6 (full seed)

Soybean growth stage: R6 (full seed)

Comments 0 Comment

When pods contain green seeds that fills the pod at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem, it is usually called R6 (full seed). At R6 (full seed), seeds reach their maximum size in one or more pods on at least one of the four uppermost nodes. By mid-R6 (~R6.5), approximately 80% of the seed’s dry weight has accumulated. Subsequently, a few leaves may begin to turn, and some pods may appear lighter in color. ■ [Crop…
