Chemistry👀

Humans are receiving hints, warnings and indication that some chemicals regularly used in conventional agriculture are associated with alarming health and environmental effects. From human to ecological health impacts, there are growing concerns about how we farm. There are many unknowns in the details of how such an agricultural system would work, what inputs would supply it, and what technologies to employ in the transition. As an agricultural and biosystems engineering student, we must know the significance of chemistry not just to our course but to us who will conduct researches to cope with our innovating world.

Chemistry has a reputation for being a complicated and boring science, but for the most part, that reputation is undeserved. Classes in chemistry applies both math and logic, which can make studying chemistry a challenge if you are weak in those areas. However, anyone can understand the basics of how things work... and that's the study of chemistry. In a nutshell, the importance of chemistry is that it explains the world around you.

Chemistry is important in everyday living because everything is made up of chemicals. We are made of chemicals. So is the sun. Drugs are chemicals. Food is made from chemicals.

Any of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical reactions. Examples include changing colors of leaves, cooking food and getting clean

Knowing some chemistry can help you make day to day decisions that affects your life. Can I mix these household chemicals? What are safe mosquito repellents? Will my bottled water expire?

Understanding basic chemistry is essential for understanding the effects of chemicals on the environment. This information can be used to give plants the best nutrients to help them grow or to decide how to dispose of chemicals without poisoning the air or water supply.

Chemistry is fun! It can be used to make colors change, alter recipes, color flames, make things glow in the dark, or even make stuff explode. Many people study chemistry not because it's a requirement for a class but because they are interested in using it to explore the world and to try science projects. As hobbies go, chemistry is inexpensive because home chemicals can be used to perform many interesting experiments.

Life is about having chemicals react in order to convert energy from the food we consume to be in a chemical form which allows us to move our legs to run… or the chemical reaction which allows plants to take solar energy into the chloroplasts and turn it into chemicals needed to have the plant grow. Respiration in animals is about taking in oxygen, having it bind the red blood cells so that the oxygen can be carried to the cells, then the blood takes away the carbon which has been bound to the oxygen in the form of carbon di-oxide and sending it out as we exhale. Plants on the other hand use that carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen. The food we consume is broken down into different chemicals to build muscles or store energy as fat. Plants take up chemicals and use sunlight to build diffent chemical compounds so the plant can grow. So now that you understand that life is a continuous chemical reaction, think about this, agriculture is about raising living things. The pesticides or herbicides are chemicals used to get rid of pests or weeds without harming the plants which are being cultivated. In short, agriculture is life… life is a continuos chemical reaction. Chemistry is the foundation for agriculture.

The basic need of human being is food. It is the agriculture only which fulfils this need for the entire population of the world. Plants are called producers as they synthesize their own food using CO2 from air and water from soil utilizing sunlight as source of energy by a process known as photosynthesis. The rest of the food chain consists of consumers only. The practice of producing crops and livestock from the natural resources of the earth is called Agriculture. Modern agriculture includes agronomy, horticulture, animal husbandry, dairying, soil chemistry, etc.

Chemistry deals with compounds, both organic and inorganic, and agriculture deals with the production of organic products using both organic and inorganic inputs Thus Chemistry forms an integral part of agriculture from molecular to organ level. It plays a role from the basics of photosynthesis to the utilization of agricultural produce. The advancements in this practice is only because of active research carried out in chemistry and then its applications to cause the land to produce more abundantly and at the same time to protect it from deterioration and misuse. Role of Chemistry in agriculture can be classified as follows: photosynthesis, fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, plastic pipes for improved irrigation, storage and preservation of agriculture produce, food processing and Chemicals from agriculture waste.

Thus Chemistry has been and is still closely linked to the progress in agriculture field. It provides innovative new ways to widen the boundaries of agriculture and to combat potential problems and thus increasing productivity and quality of produce.
