Primary Productivity Problems
Net Primary Productivity efficiency can be calculated for terrestrial producers when values for insolation energy, respiration loss and gross productivity are known. Use the equations below to answer the following problems:
Net Primary Productivity = Gross Productivity – Respiration Loss
Efficiency = . NPP . X 100
Insolation Energy
In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.012 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 20 percent. One gram of rice is equivalent to 1000 calories.
Calculate the net primary productivity of the rice.
Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice.

- EXPERIMENT :UTILIZATION OF SOLID WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2).
