Specific non-seasonal vegetable
Winter
Effective way
Success in growth as measured by ...?
Greenhouse farming
Considering average climate according to seasonal and territorial conditions - especially the challenges
Excessive rainfall
Decrease in temperature
Climate (SA - Mediterranean)
Longevity (period of time plant is able to sustain for)
Root growth
Survival rate/yield (percentage surviving plants)
Spinach
Artificial maintenance of optimum growth conditions to counter unsuitable environmental state
Lowered light intensity (UV, mean days of sunlight etc.)
Glucose content (caloric value through enthalpy)
Determining, achieving and maintaining optimum conditions for a specific non-seasonal plant
Capsicum
Beans
Corn
Cellular respiration rate
Vegetable size/yield (mass/diameter)
Change in carbon dioxide
Production of oxygen
Growth rate
Ensuring adequate nutrients are present
Constant optimum temperature
Sufficient irrigation
Soil quality
