               One day field trip was organized by the Dept. of Botany on 25/7/2012. The third B.sc students attended the field trip to the farm house of Mr.D. Madusudan rao at Tenneru  About 260 medicinal plants are being grown in his farm. Organic farming and square foot gardening is practiced to grow vegetables in the farm house.
     
             Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes,biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved..."

students interacting with Dr. Kalyan 

          The guest lecture was delivered by  Dr. C. Kalyan professor in pinnamineni medical college, in which he explained the laws of Mendel and how the  innovative concepts developed based on his work, he also explained various discoveries in genetics and their implementations and their role in the fields of medicine, molecular biology and bio-technology.

     Mendel undertook several breeding experiments with peas and thus he deduced the general rules of inheritance. His work was purely phenomenological, as he didn't understand how the characteristics were being passed down from generation to generation, but his works (when rediscovered) were a good start, as he was among the first biologists to use mathematical methods in his experiments.

           He interacted with the students and he clarified the doubts raised by students in various diseases. Dr.B. Siva Kumari ,H.O.D of Botany welcomed the gathering and the session ended with the vote of thanks from    Mr. P. Srinivas rao.

                                    Staff and students of life sciences took an active part during the lecture.
