Title: Describe environmental and biological factors that affect plant growth and development.
Course: Biological Applications in Agriculture (18308-I) > Section: Understanding Basic Plant Structures, Functions, and Nutrition

Description should include methods of control used to achieve optimal plant health and production (e.g., photoperiod, soil fertility, pH, growth regulators, environmental factors, abiotic, and biotic factors).

Description should also include

- water (enzymatic activities)
- light (photosynthesis, quality, quantity, photoperiod)
- temperature (optimal temperature)
- nutrients (macro- and micro-)
- soil
- media/substrate.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What effects does photoperiod have on plants?
- How does soil fertility and pH affect plant growth and development?
- How do environmental factors affect plant growth and development?
- What critical abiotic and biotic factors affect plant growth and development?
