Introduction
Brassica rapa vegetables perform a largely substantial role in not only the production but also the consumption of vegetables throughout the world. A few examples of Brassica rapa vegetables include Brussels sprouts, turnips, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, and each of these are packed with minerals, vitamins, and fiber (Francisco, Soengas, and Velasco 2011). Because of the significance of these Brassica plants, knowing which environmental conditions are ideal for their growth is of equal significance. According to Franks, Brassica rapa plants flower earlier than usual when a drought hits in order to avoid the drought. Many plants increase their proficiency of the amount of water they use, so it is interesting to know that …show more content…
According to a study conducted by Francisco, Cartea, Butrón, Sotelo, and Velasco, Brassica rapa plants grow best in high temperatures, and the metabolite substance regulates best in intense temperatures (2012). This paper explains an experiment in which the growth rate of Brassica rapa plants was studied based on watering the plants with different types of water. Deionized water and tap water were both used to water two different groups of the same plants. In a study conducted in Japan, tap water was treated with different minerals and then used to water Brassica rapa plants during their growth. The results of this study show that treated tap water greatly benefitted the plants growth (Ishikawa, Islam, Kazunori, Takeda, 2009).In a study conducted by Meeteren, Gelder, and Ieperen, tap water increased the fresh weight of cut chrysanthemum flowers placed in a vase and deionized water decreased the fresh weight (1999). Deionized water clearly has a negative effect on this specific plant, so the possibility of
