A farmer harvests hay from his field. The net production is measured as 10000 kcal per hectare. If respiration losses are 2500 kcal per hectare, what was the gross production? If the photosynthetic efficiency of hay is estimated at 5.2%, what was the PAR per hectare? All the hay is now fed to horses, they ingest 5000 kcal per hectare, whose assimilation efficiency is found to be 2.6%. How much energy is assimilated? If growth efficiency is estimated as 1.5%, what is the NP of the horses? SHOW YOUR WORK! Then fill in the box below. MUST HAVE UNITS: Sig fig not important. ANSWER: use units please Gross Production PAR per hectare Assimilation by Horses NP of Horses
