Earthen ponds are ponds entirely constructed from soil materials. (Adapted from FAO, 2003. FAO Training Series: Simple Methods for Aquaculture. Pond construction for freshwater fish culture. CD-ROM. https://www.fao.org/fishery/docs/CDrom/FAO_Training/FAO_Training/General/x6708e/x6708e01.htm)
Note
Earthen dams are often used for farming fish, shrimp, or other aquatic organisms, and can serve as reservoirs for storing water.
A complete description of the structure of any system to be sampled for collection of statistics. In fisheries, it may include the inventory of ports, landing places, number and type of fishing units (boats and gears), and a description of fishing and landing activity patterns, fish distribution routes, processing and marketing patterns, supply centres for goods and services, etc. (FAOTERM: Modified from FAO (1998): Guidelines for the routine collection of capture fishery data. FAO Fish. Tech. Pap, 382: 113 p. )
Excessive accumulation of saliva which may be due to increased amount of salivary production. (University of Iowa, 2023. Hypersalivation Ptyalism Sialorrhea https://medicine.uiowa.edu/iowaprotocols/hypersalivation-ptyalism-sialorrhea)
Pterocarya fraxinifolia is a species of tree in the Juglandaceae family. It is commonly known as the Caucasian wingnut or Caucasian walnut. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterocarya_fraxinifolia)
Sorghum-sudangrass hybrids are developed by crossing sorghum with true sudangrass. The result is an annual grass that resembles sudangrass, but has coarser stems, taller growth habit, and higher yields. (Sudangrass and Sorghum-sudangrass Hybrids, University of Kentucky

A species of beetle belonging to the family Rutelidae (beetles) in the order Coleoptera (beetles), with adults 10-13 mm long, dark brown in color, and both adults and larvae feeding on cereals.

Fuel derived from the auto-agglomeration of woody material as the result of a combined application of heat and high pressure in an extrusion machine. (UWET - Unified Wood Energy Terminology - Forestry Department, FAO, 2004 (J0926).)
Vaccine hesitancy is the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines. (https://www.who.int/news-room/spotlight/ten-threats-to-global-health-in-2019)
Earth’s crust is divided into two types: oceanic crust and continental crust. Oceanic crust is the outermost solid layer of the lithospheric tectonic plates under the oceans, extending 5-10 kilometers (3-6 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor, is mostly composed of different types of basalts. (Earth as an Evolving Planetary System (Fourth Edition), 2021. https://doi.org/10.1016/C2019-0-00301-9)
A method of inoculation which uses a piece of stem 4-5 mm thick and 3-4 cm long. A wedge cut is made at the end of this stem piece; a cut is then made into the seedling to be indexed and the wedge end is fitted into the cut portion of the stem. The side graft is then wrapped. This type of graft is preferred when indexing for stubborn and greening diseases. (GTDC)
Note
Although used universally as a method of uniting a potted unde rstock with a dormant or succulent scion of similar diameter, it may be applied as a method of working smaller scion material with large-diameter roots. stems, or petioles. The side graft and the veneer graft are two of the types which have been classified as lateral grafts
