Introducing the water directly into the root zone by means of porous or perforated receptacles that are embedded in the soil to some depth. (http://www.fao.org/3/w3094e/w3094e05.htm)
Type of vegetative propagation where lateral buds grow out to produce an individual that is a clone of the parent. (FAO Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture, 2001)
The assessment of how well a given piece of land can support agricultural production for a specific crop, considering factors such as climate, soil and terrain. (FAO. 2025. The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2025 – The potential to produce more and better. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cd7488en)
Sucrose is a type of sugar made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose joined together. It is a disaccharide, a molecule composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose)
The Subclass Suctoria encompasses ciliates without cilia during the trophont stage, and that mainly feed on other ciliates, rotifers and microcrustaceans. Suctorians are widely distributed in various habitats and can also be found as epibionts in aquatic invertebrates. (Gazulha, F.B., & Utz, L.R. (2016). Occurrence of suctorian ciliates (Ciliophora, Suctoria) in a polluted creek in Southern Brazil. https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/zoociencias/article/view/24633)

Sugar beet is a temperate climate biennial root crop. It produces sugar during the first year of growth in order to see it over the winter and then flowers and seeds in the second year. (FAO / EBRD.1999. Agribusiness Handbooks. Sugar Beets / White Sugar)
Note
Under the Codex Alimentarius Commission's (Codex) classification of foods and animal feeds, sugar beet is classed as a root and tuber vegetable.
The illegal shooting, trapping, or taking of game or fish from private or public property. (West's Encyclopedia of American law, 2008)
Note
The illegal taking of wildlife, in violation of local, state, federal or international law. Activities that are considered poaching include killing an animal out of season, without a license, with a prohibited weapon, or in a prohibited manner such as jacklighting. Killing a protected species, exceeding one's bag limit or killing an animal while trespassing are also considered to be poaching.
The mesopelagic zone is that part of the oceans beyond the continental and insular shelves, in oceanic waters, from about 200 to 1000 m. Also known as the twilight zone, where little light penetrates. (Adapted from: Deep–sea Cartilaginous Fishes of the Indian Ocean, Vol. 1 – Sharks, FAO, 2013 (http://www.fao.org/3/a-i3477e.pdf).)
A whitewater river is classified based on its chemistry, sediments and water colour. Whitewater rivers have high levels of suspended sediments, giving the water a pH that is near-neutral, a high electric conductivity and a pale muddy, coffee and cream-like colour. Whitewater rivers are of great ecological importance and are important to local fisheries. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater_river_(river_type))
Note
Tropical rainforest rivers carrying a heavy sediment load, despite their cafe-au-lait appearance, are generally known as 'whitewater' or brown-water rivers
Dietary assessment is an evaluation of food and nutrient intake and dietary pattern of an individual or individuals in the household or population group over time. (FAO. 2018. Dietary Assessment: A resource guide to method selection and application in low resource settings. Rome https://www.fao.org/3/i9940en/I9940EN.pdf)
Note
Dietary assessment is one of the four approaches in nutrition assessment to evaluating the nutritional status of individuals comprehensively. The other three are anthropometrics, biochemical parameters and clinical examination.
A product recall is a request to return to the maker a batch or an entire production run of a product, usually due to the discovery of safety issues. (New Products Management, CTI Reviews, 2016)
