Answer to Question 1

In addition to propagation directly from seeds, plants may also propagate through
asexual reproduction which may involve division of roots, cuttings of leaves, stems, or
roots; budding and grafting; and by tissue culture. The advantages of asexual
reproduction are that the result creates an exact duplicate of the existing plant. The
disadvantages include the time involved.



Answer to Question 2

Biostimulants stimulate soil microbial activity and improve soil cation exchange
capacity, stimulate plant growth, and promote disease resistance. Root growth
biostimulants improve water and nutrient uptake by the roots and also increase the
number of fibrous roots. Biostimulants can greatly reduce the need for fertilizers,
especially nitrogen, which saves the grower money and reduces water pollution from
excess nitrogen run-off or percolation into ground or stream water.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
