Pig: A young swine weighing less than 120 pounds.
Pollen: The male germ cells.
Pollination: The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma.
Pomology: the science or study of growing fruit.
Poult: A young turkey.
Poultry: Domestic birds raised for eggs and meat.
Precooling: The process in which loads of fruit or vegetables are rapidly cooled prior to loading for
shipment.
Productive Soil: A soil in which the chemical, physical, and biological conditions are favorable for
the economic production of the crops suited to a particular area.
Pullet: A female chicken less than 1 year old.
Rhizobium: Bacteria living in nodules on the roots of leguminous plants that are capable of
removing nitrogen from the air and soil “fixing” it into forms that plants utilize for growth.
Rhizome: A subterranean stem, usually rooting at the nodes and rising at the apex; a rootstock.
Roaster: A young meat bird, 12 to 16 weeks old weighing 4 to 6 pounds, used for pan roasting.
Roasting Pig: A milk-fat pig weighing from 60 to 100 pounds.
Rooster: A mature male chicken.
Roughage: Feeds high in fiber, low in total digestible nutrients as hay and silage; the complete
forage plant, including the stalk, stem, leaf, and (if mature) the seed.
Ruminants: Animals having a stomach with four compartments (rumen, reticulum, omasum and
abomasum). Their digestive process is more complex, therefore, than that of animals having a true
stomach. Some commonly known ruminants are cattle, sheep and goats; an example of a true
stomach animal is the pig.
Saturate: To fill all of the openings among soil particles with liquid.
Sheet Erosion: The gradual, uniform removal by water of the earth’s surface, without the formation
of hills or gullies.
Silage: Prepared by chopping green forage (grass, legumes, field corn, etc.) Into an airtight
chamber, where it is compressed to exclude air and undergoes and acid fermentation that retards
spoilage. Contains about 65 percent moisture; 3 lbs. Of silage is equal to 1 lb. Of hay nutritionally.
Slaughterhouse: A place where animals marketed for meat arc killed humanely.
Soil Horizon: A layer of soil material approximately parallel to the land surface which differs from
adjacent genetically related layers in color, structure, texture, or consistence. It also differs in
biological and chemical characteristics.
Soil Map: A map designed to show the distribution of soil types or other soil-mapping units in
relation to the prominent physical and cultural features of the earth’s surface.
Soil-Moisture Tensiometer: An instrument which measures the tension with which water is held
by soil. The instrument can be used for estimating when to irrigate land and for detecting drainage
problems.
Soil Reaction: The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a soil usually expressed in terms of pH value.
Soil Series: A grouping of soils which have developed from a particular kind of parent material and
which are similar in all characteristics except texture of the surface layer. The soil series is one of
the principal units of soil classification.
Soil Structure: Refers to bonding together of soil particles and the resulting configuration of solid
and voids.
Soil Survey: The systematic examination, description, classification, and mapping of soils in an
area.
