In biology, the BBCH-scale for leafy vegetables forming heads describes the phenological development of leafy vegetables forming heads, such as cabbage, chinese cabbage, lettuce and endive, using the BBCH-scale. The phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of leafy vegetables forming heads are:
28.2% (sunlight energy collected by chlorophyll) → 68% is lost in conversion of ATP and NADPH to d-glucose, leaving; 9% (collected as sugar) → 35–40% of sugar is recycled/consumed by the leaf in dark and photo-respiration, leaving; 5.4% net leaf efficiency. Many plants lose much of the remaining energy on growing roots.
Don’t expect to grow big, juicy tomatoes if your garden gets less than 4 hours of sunlight. I have experience gardening in a well-shaded area. The biggest issue is that growth is extremely slow.
Here’s what vegetables grow well in containers including what they need to thrive, what kind of soil to choose, and which varieties do best in pots and window boxes.
The top side may also be used. On the top side of upside-down planters, lettuce, radishes and cress may be grown, [6] and herbs or flowers such as marigolds can absorb sunlight to decrease desiccation of the planter; that is, preventing drying out. [1] Unsuited are lettuce, peas and carrots as they do not generally do well, grown upside-down. [1]
He discovered that it was the influence of sunlight on the plant that could cause it to revive a mouse in a matter of hours. [ 88 ] [ 89 ] In 1796, Jean Senebier , a Swiss pastor , botanist , and naturalist , demonstrated that green plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen under the influence of light .
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual plant of the family Asteraceae mostly grown as a leaf vegetable.The leaves are most often used raw in green salads, although lettuce is also seen in other kinds of food, such as sandwiches, wraps and soups; it can also be grilled. [3]
Like most fruit, the heavier it is, the higher the water content and the juicier the fruit. Compare your pineapple to a few others to find one that's heavy. ...
