Leaves broad, up to 2 ft long, almost as wide, 6–7 lobes, leaf stem attached to underside of leaf (peltate). Flowers in clusters, small, whitish, not showy. Fruit in upright clusters, a capsule, nearly spherical, splits explosively. Seed mottled.

Abstract To determine the productivity of castor oil plant in Sinaloa, the influence of two sowing dates, water availability and two planting densities on the grain yield of four castor oil plant hybrids were evaluated, the trial was established at Valley of Fuerte Experimental Field. During the autumn- winter agricultural cycles with sowing date of December 10, 2015 and spring-summer 2015-2016 with sowing date of February 18, 2016. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used, the plot experimental was four furrows of 20 m long, with a separation of 0.80 m, equivalent to 64 m2, two population densities were managed: 23 000 and 26 000 plants ha-1, and two irrigation regimes per test. The statistical analysis indicated that hybrids 2B-5, Chinatan and HB-8, were higher in yield and without statistical differences, with days at maturity from 145 to 152, so they are considered normal cycle; the average height was 20 m, considered average.

Emulsions and the HLB System

They are both emulsions. An emulsion is a system of two (or more) immiscible materials (usually liquids) in which one material (the dispersed/internal phase) is suspended or dispersed throughout another material (the continuous/external phase) in separate droplets. Most emulsions fall into two different classes, oil in water emulsions and water in oil emulsions. In oil in water emulsions, we have hundreds of tiny oil droplets surrounded by water. In water in oil emulsions, we have the opposite situation. We have hundreds of water droplets surrounded by oil. One of the simplest emulsions is a simple vinegar and oil salad dressing. One of the problems with this simple emulsion is that the oil and vinegar don’t mix. To emulsify the vinegar into the oil, we can use an egg yolk. Egg yolks contain a natural emulsifier call Lecithin. Most creams and lotions on the market today are oil in water emulsions. 2393 Blaine Avenue Orono, MN 55391 (952) 906-0771 CONVERGENT COSMETICS FAX: (952) 906-9781 www.ConvergentCosmetics.com In 1949, William C. (Bill) Griffin developed the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance System or HLB System when he was a chemist at the Atlas Powder Company, which eventually became ICI Surfactants and is part of Uniqema today. All emulsifier have two parts; like a bar magnet. A bar magnet has a north pole and a south pole. Nonionic emulsifiers also have two poles or parts.

It belongs to a monotypic genus Ricinus and sub-tribe Ricininae. Castor plant’s origin is obscured by its wide dissemination in ancient times, and the ease and rapidity of its establishment as a native plant. Castor was one of the oldest cultivated crops before being abandoned in many countries in the world. The crop is now widely revived as an agricultural solution for all tropical and subtropical regions, addressing the need for commercial crops with low input costs and viable returns. Castor is a hardy crop, easy to establish on the field, resistant to drought, tolerate different types of soil even marginal soil and yield 350 – 900 kg oil per hactare. Castor is an important oilseed crop with great utilitarian value in industry, pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors. In the last couple of years, demand for castor oil has kept increasing in the international market, assured by more than 700 uses, ranging from medicine and cosmetics to biodiesel, plastics and lubricants.

California Natives and Exotic Weeds
Plant Identification California Natives and Exotic Weeds Powerpoint Presentation and Photographs by Barbara Eisenstein, May 2003 To identify plants use some of your senses (and your common sense): Look at: plant size and shape ۵ leaf size, shape, color, texture and arrangement ۵ flower types, color, arrangement ۵ Touch (with care): fuzzy or smooth leaves ۵ stiff or flexible stems ۵ Smell: Many California plants have very distinctive odors especially in their leaves ۵ Some weeds are easily distinguished from natives by their smell ۵ Taste: !!!Never taste a plant you are unsure of. Some plants are poisonous ۵ Listen: .Rustling leaves can be hint ۵ Exotic and Invasive Weeds •Russian thistle or tumbleweed •sow thistle •black mustard •ripgut •castor bean WEED Botanical Name: Salsola iberica Common Name: Russian thistle or tumbleweed •Key Identifying Traits: Needle-like leaves, thorny, rounded shrub, stripes on stems. •Other facts: Introduced from Russia in 1800s. Seeds spread as plant breaks off main stem and blows around as tumbleweed. •May be confused with: California buckwheat, California sagebrush. WEED Botanical Name: Sonchus oleraceus Common Name: annual sow thistle •Key Identifying Traits: Dandelion-like yellow flower, seeds spread by wind, seed head is spherical with “parachute” for each seed. Lower leaves have stalks, upper leaves clasp stem. •Other facts: Comes from Europe and is found throughout the west in disturbed areas (vacant lots, roadsides). There are many other sow thistles (same genus, different species). •May be confused with: Dandelion. WEED Botanical Name: Brassica nigra Common Name: black mustard •Key Identifying Traits: Head with small yellow flowers, 4 petals/flower.
