In general, dogs neutered before they go into puberty grow a bit bigger than those neutered after puberty because testosterone is involved in bone growth; sometimes that growth is preferable and sometimes itâs not. Most dogs are sexually mature by the age of five or six months (the blink of an eye). If your dogâs testicles donât descend, you still need to have him neutered. These dogs tend to have more testicular tumors than normal dogs.
The common tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., belongs to an extremely diverse and large family the Solanaceae. Often refered to as the Nightshade family, this family contains many of our commonly cultivated plants (potato, peppers, eggplant, tobacco, petunias, tomatillo) and various weeds (nightshades, jimson weed).
Tomato plants are susceptible to pest damage. The leaves and fruit of the plant attract a variety of bugs, and these insects are capable of destroying your garden tomato crop. Some pests eat holes in the leaves and bore into the fruit, while others suck the juice from the leaves and stems, weakening them. Still others feed on the roots of the tomato plant.
