If you want farm green, two decisions about how A.
to decrease tillage
you grow your crops are likely to have the biggest
impact on achieving your goal, how much tillage you
manage nitrogen.
Although there probably are hundreds – or
thousands – of other decisions, practices and
technologies that can contribute to a green farming
system, these two factors alone can come close to
eliminating your cropping system’s global warming
footprint. At the same time, you will also reduce your
operation’s impact on soil and water erosion, as well as
surface and groundwater degradation from fertilizers and
other agricultural inputs. You may also be able to turn
this environmental stewardship into extra cash by selling
carbon credits associated with no-till.
This surprising finding – that intensive crop
production practices in use today can be nearly carbon
neutral is emerging from research on both greenhouse
gas production and greenhouse gas capture associated
with production of annual crops.
The research shows that basic crop management
decisions to reduce tillage and use nitrogen more
efficiently can cut a farming operation’s impact on
global warming gases 90% or more. In a best-case
scenario, which would include no-till, these everyday
practices come also to zeroing out a farming operation’s
greenhouse gas footprint.

Everyone likes to group things. Language students
group words as verbs, nouns and so on; collections of
words are classified as phrases, or clauses, or sentence
and these again are reclassified according to their
function. In the same way, botanists classify plants as
algae, or fungi, or gymnosperms, etc. Zoologist classify
animals as vertebrates and invertebrates. The vertebrates
can be further classified as mammals, reptiles, birds,
fish, etc. Classification enables us to keep hold of more
information and, if it is based on the right data, enables
us to understand better the ideas we are studying.
Chemists are no exception. The chemical
classification of materials, if it is based on a good
system, should enable us to understand better the many
substances which exist in our world. What is to be the
basis of our classification? Perhaps the most obvious one
is appearance. Material could be classified as solid liquid
or gas with some mixed type as, for example, mud being
solid/liquid material and steam a liquid/gas material.
Appearance could enable us to subdivide our main
classification groups a little further; the solid may be
green, or black, powdery or crystalline; the liquid may
be coloured oily, thick, or free following; the gas may be
coloured. However, we soon realize that many probably
quite different materials have the same appearance. Both
air and the deadly carbon-monoxide gas, are colourless,
odourless gases, but we would not like to group them as
same thin. Many different liquids are colourless, water-
like materials.

A. many kinds of liquid be grouped as one
