occur with bad hay/grass. Those plants need good soil to be good which is something

The climate here is generally very cold which leads to the ground being mostly frozen. Due to this dead plants cannot

Asexual Propagation is the process of using plant materials such as the stems, leaves, and roots to multiply the number of plants. These plants eventually grow to be a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant it came from. In several types of plants, asexual propagation is the fastest means of new plant growth. Asexual propagation is also a good way to maintain a plant species because they are genetically identical. In this process, adventitious roots are seen in the growing cycle. Adventitious roots are those that grow form parts of the plant that they normally would not grow from. The cuttings must do

From here, it made its way to other locations like Africa, Dominican Republic, Egypt, and other places. The plant bears long thick leaves that tower over the fruit just like a skyscraper. The leaves protrude from the plant like a peacock showing its feathers. The leaves grow open and out, absorbing the sunlight from top to bottom. Once the plant has taken in the much needed sunlight and nutrients, it is ready to be harvested.

There are very few native plants on the island. The only plants that are on the island are breadfruit trees, pandanus trees, pawpaw trees, coconut trees, babai(a type of taro root), mosses and mangrove trees. There are also yams lemons, and sugarcane as non tree plants. These seeds for plants probably got transported to the island by birds except for the coconuts because there aren't any land borders to any other island. Because there are no land boarders it gives us some evidence that the island got made by a volcano.

There are many unique plantations in the Daintree Rainforest, one of the most famous plants is the idiot fruit. The idiot fruit is one of the rarest plants in the rainforest and the world. It’s approximately 110 million years old. It's too poisonous for animals and birds to eat them which is a way that they have adapted. Another plant is the epiphytes, they live on other plants surfaces, usually the trunk and branches. They grow on trees to get sunlight in the canopy. There is also a plant called the Pandanus Tree, they have a broad canopy and heavy fruits and leaves and branches, and this is why they usually grow large prop roots to support all of their weight.

The plant cycle is fairly simple. It begins with a seed that cracks and a tiny shoot appears, soon the shoot grows up to become the stem and the roots grow down into the soil. Then the plant gets taller and the stem gets thicker. Leaves begin to grow of the stem and flowers can begin to grow to. Soon the flower creates a new seed which makes the whole thing begin again. The plant however would need water, sunlight and air.

The banana (Musa spp.) is a large perennial herb with leaf sheaths that form their pseudostems, meaning they are rather giant herbs than trees. Both the plantain and banana are sterile and parthenocarpic so the fruit is seedless. The plant is made up of 8-12 leaves that are about 9ft tall and 2ft wide (Chia and Huggins, 1992). Bananas are considered the

depending on where they are in the world, their climates would vary. If they were in the fertile crescent, they had more of a tropical weather pattern and would have more success growing crops. However, if they were to try and produce food in and african region, they wouldn't have success because Africa's climate is hot and dry, a lot of plants can not grow in hot and dry weather like that.

According to Bacigalupi, “Jaidee passes a woman selling bananas. . . . It’s a new varietal from the Ministry’s rapid prototyping unit. Fast growing, resistant to makmak mites with their tiny black eggs that sicken banana flowers before they can hope to grow” (Bacigalupi 121). In this particular excerpt we are introduced to one of the many problems in a world touched by such environmental destruction. There is an urgent need to engineer food prototypes to avoid the fast growing diseases that are responsible for stopping the growth of natural food not humans. In The Windup Girl, food and plant destruction topics are reoccurring which draws attention away from human interests. For example, Bacigalupi writes:

enough nutrients to help maintain the trees until the next rainy season. The Water Lily is

The hypothesis made at the beginning of this experiment was not supported by the data collected throughout it. While none of the plants showed growth, the plants in the control group showed the least amount of decline. This does not exactly the fit the hypothesis of which plant will grow the most, but the data proves that the other groups showed more of a decline than the control group, making it the best way to grow the plants. As mentioned earlier, the plants in the control group decreased an average 0.202 grams, while the groups grown in stones and wood decreased approximately 0.1 gram more. Along with that, the data shows that the control plants increased an average of 0.0 centimeters in leaf length, which

For the healthy growth of our plants, we have used an approved fertilizer. The fertilizer Hasta Gro from Medina contained 6% of Nitrogen, 12% for Phosphoric Acid, 6% of Soluble Potash, and about 2% of other ingredients. The five seeds of fertilizer gave reasonable amount of growth to the plants.

Flowers remain blooming when the sun is out for 1 or 2 days, being replaced by a seed capsule that grows large, and later splits open to release its seeds. The rhizomes that are found at the roots of these flowers, and the foliage contain a reddish juice. Over time the plants often form vegetative colonies, these colonies self-pollinate to reproduce.

The market size for tropical fruit is really large, bananas being the fifth most important agricultural commodity in world trade after cereals, sugar, coffee and cocoa. Six countries (India, Brazil, Ecuador, Philippines, China and Indonesia) account for 55% of total world production. Bananas and pineapples are common fruits, on average 10 kg of bananas are consumed by each of the 350 million EU citizens; therefore it is not really
