COMMENTS and QUESTIONS

#1 article
Though the annotation is very short, but I like the way your critical evaluation is written;
you highlighted the major limitations for plant growth.
#2 article
The critical evaluation is well written, but Id like to see evaluation within the context of
your topic
#3 article
I find the article less relevant to the topic because the major issue is on control of
nematodes. Growth and yield of plants are peripheral issues. Furthermore, the thing that
influences growth in plants belongs to biological aspect i.e. nematodes.
#4 article
The material is relevant, but how do you intend to use this in your report? Second
paragraph for critical evaluation is absent.
#5 article
The material is less relevant but you were able to connect the planting distance to
physical factors such as
moisture and nutrients.
# 6 article
This is excellent annotation! The topic is relevant and I like the comparison you made in
your critical evaluation.
# 7 article
Relevant material and the evaluation expands to the idea of commercialization
# 8 article
The critical evaluation portion perfectly picked up the salient point of the material. This
is excellent!
# 9 article
Excellent evaluation! I like the way you blend the chemistry with biology - the use of
chemical principles in explaining biological phenomena.

# 10 article
The content is more on the soil biology, but it is the abiotic physical environment
expected in the report.
# 11 article
The material is relevant and the annotation is well written.
# 12 article

I like the way you write the summary, and you easily determined how the information in
the material can be
useful to growers.
