PLANT RESPONSES TROPISM is a biological phenomenon‚ indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism‚ usually a plant‚ in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms‚ this response is dependent on the direction of the species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope ("to turn" or "to change"). Tropisms are usually named for the stimulus involved and may be either positive (towards the stimulus) or negative (away from the stimulus). Phototropism is the growth response

Faba bean is an annual legume‚ which is able to grow in various climatic zones even without fertilizers. It can also be grown in crop rotations due to its ability to fix nitrogen symbiotically. Hence‚ it is regarded as an environmentally friendly legume crop. Faba bean belongs to the third largest angiosperm family Fabaceae‚ containing 740 genera and 19‚400 species (Lewis et al. 2005; Basheer-Salimia 2014). It is classified among a subfamily Faboideae‚ tribe Vicieae and genus Vicia L. Faba bean is

Monitoring Winter Wheat Growth Using Plant Nutrition Active Sensor Abstract: A real-time integrated crop monitoring and application system is needed to be developed for the wheat growth environment. This research developed a ground base-sensing embedded on tractor which monitors the growth of winter wheat by using a couple of plant nutrition active sensors (Crop Spec) and RTK-GPS. In this active sensor‚ two different infrared wavelengths were used for determination of vegetation

are more to aquatic plants than just floating on the surface of water. Aquatic plants are plants that can adapt and live in a freshwater environment. They are sometimes called hydrophytes. These include plants that live in fresh wetlands‚ swamps‚ ponds‚ lakes‚ and marshes. This type of plant actually serves two important functions. First‚ they help oxygenate water (2006) and they provide nutrients and food for some fishes (Tappin‚ 2003). There are many types of aquatic plants including rooted‚ emergent

a schoo Chapter 35 The Plant Body 1. Describe and compare the three basic organs of vascular plants. Explain how these basic organs are interdependent. The three basic organs of a vascular plant are the stems‚ leaves‚ and roots. The stems consist of nodes‚ where leaves attach‚ and internodes between the nodes. The stem is responsible for elongation of the plant and acts as a central axis for other organs to attach to. The roots help to anchor the plant as well as absorb water and nutrients

Fertilizers are essential in plant growth due to the lack of some nutrients in the soil. They contain three distinct categories which are the primary nutrients‚ secondary nutrients and metals. (hazri). In order for a plant to develop growth‚ the basic needs of carbon (C)‚ hydrogen (H)‚ and oxygen (O) are required which are available in the air and water. Also‚ a boost of macronutrients are also essential for plant growth which are obtainable from chemical fertilizers mainly nitrogen (N)‚ phosphate
