botany science is 3rd in 2nd to computer engineering and 1st to mechanical engineering ( mostly on weapons and transport )

but botany science on story ( too me that is ) very little use in fics and so on, so far the only one I have found that use it in great detail is An Affliction of the Heart where a flower that was pony made like GMO in the real world that this flower used like a drug to get high or data remover for the brain and more.

it tells how the flower come to be how it can't use water to grow it that it act like a bomb or how dangerous it is

what do you think guys is it just me or there is a lack of it

Botany is extremely important in My Little Pony, both because it's vital to real life (agronomy is a subset of botany) and because of the Earth Pony farmers, who are essentially specialists in their chosen crops. Zecora is also primarily a herbalist, and presumably has an encyclopediac grasp of botanical pharmacology.

4875991 ya in the show it tells everything about its world one or an other.

but in facs there like none almost like there so little of it when someone make up a plant they just say its magic and thats so lazy it drive me mad sometime

4875991 also any more fics that use botany? that's the only one i can find

Uwahhhhh... My brain hurts.

Did you run that through some kind of bootleg online translator?

Ultra Angry Flappy Bird Mine Story Translate 2! Profession Addition!

Now on Gogle Store!

Translate accurate is an mouse application tap away!!!

So... you're surprised that Agronomy is not often the focus of stories...?
Yeah, no kidding. Even as a bunch of science nerds, I think we can all agree that years of crossbreeding or engineering of new breeds of corn do not make for an amazing story.

I think you'll also find a dearth of stories about Calculus. This will also surprise nobody.

But there's so much potential there! They could do an entire season on the domestication, development, and use of various crops!

I can see it now: Season 7, Episode 13: "Barley"

Pfft, there's no way they could top Season 5.

That epic arc where they'll lose the Equestrian Government Biotechnology Grant without progress on their Enriched Tomato had me on the edge of the my seat. That dark, dangerous journey into the University of Manehatten's Biology Wing to unearth the dread the secrets of CRISPR gene editation before it's too late, was pretty much the pinnacle of the series. I really did not see them using Kale DNA to enhance the nutritional value like they did, at all. The twist blew my mind.

Once they defeated Administrator Dubious Glance with their tomato research paper at the end of the season, it was all downhill. It all just feels like an anticlimax after that.

"CELESTIA JUST LIKE US!"

4876422 that's not really what i was going for. but when you put it that way then yes i can see why.

but why not make up a plant then go atlaset little detil how it works.

like a flower that is always on fire but not burn it self

I'd love a fic of Equestria's plant life

I'm glad this thread exists.

Searching Calculus in fimfiction actually gives you a fair amount of stories. However, they all seem to refer to the fancy math, not the hard, calcified dental buildup commonly known as tartar. That kind of calculus probably only appears in certain Colgate fics.

You can tell this thread is old when you see dead 4876422 talking.
