Broadcast Broadcasting is the even distribution of a fertilizer over the surface
of a field.
Use of fire Use of fire is an example of mechanical weed control.
Herringbone The herringbone is the most suitable drainage system on a plot of
land that has a distinct depression in the middle.
Slack Soft, weak, limp cells caused by loss of water
Hydroponics The method of growing plants without soil using mineral nutrients
dissolved in water.
Parthenocarpy The production of fruit without fertilization of ovules
Fertilizers Substances added to soil to improve the nutritional status of soil.
Plaster A white or gray material consisting of hydrated calcium sulfate
(CaSO4.2H2O).
Fertilization The fusion of male and female gametes.
Biotechnology The manipulation of living things to make useful products
Aquaculture The industry of farming or breeding fish. In SA, species such as
trout, catfish and carp are bred.
Photolysis Splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the
presence of light energy.
Stroma The dark phase occurs in the stroma
Molybdenum 'Whiptail' in cabbage leaves is a deficiency symptom of
molybdenum
Potatoes An example of a tuber is potatoes.
Flood irrigation The oldest form of irrigation in the world is flood irrigation.
Carotene The yellow pigments such as lutein in plants are carotenes
Radicle The embryonic root is called the radicle.
Abalone Aquaculture production system placed in the sea or dams
Autotrophic Living organisms that can produce their own organic food.
Xylem Plant tissue that transports water from the roots to the other parts
of the plant
Cane sugar The most important disaccharide in higher plants.
(sucrose)
Cultivation To prepare soil for growing crops.
Ablactation The fall of flowers or fruits within the first ten days.

Pivot irrigation system
Pollination Transfer of ripe pollen grains from anthers to stigmas
Basal application Applying fertilizer during planting
Broadcast The even distribution of fertilizer over the entire surface of a land
Foliar application Plant nutrients are dissolved in water and sprayed onto leaves
Band placement Adding fertilizer to one or both sides of a row of plants or under
plants
Fertilization Fertilizer is dissolved in irrigation water and applied using irrigation
infrastructure
Adhesion The force of attraction between two different molecules
Rhizobium Legumes fix nitrogen using a bacterium that lives in the nodules on
their roots.
Antler The production of pollen
Dioecious plants Pumpkin family
Osmosis Requires a selectively permeable membrane to perform its
function
Ammonia gas The most important raw material in the production of nitrogenous
fertilizers
Gametophyte The structure of the germinating pollen tube with the male
gametes
Open flow system Fish culture system
Apoplastic Free movement of water via the intercellular spaces and cell walls
of plant cells
Parthenocarpy Production of fruit without fertilization of the ovules
Inorganic This inorganic fertilizer mixture contains a combination of mineral
fertilization (NPK) single fertilizers and is necessary for plant growth and fruit
development.
Double This occurs when two different fusions occur inside the ovule
fertilization during the fertilization process.

PLANT NUTRITION
Plants are referred to as autotrophic organisms because of their ability to produce
food for themselves. EC/NOVEMBER 2022
Organs where the products of photosynthesis are stored
• Leaves
• Stems
• Carrots
• Tubers
• Bulbs
How climate change could affect photosynthetic rates in plants
• The high atmospheric CO2/high temperatures associated with climate are expected
to lead to higher rates of photosynthesis.
________________________________________________________________
EC/NOVEMBER 2020
The process represented by the chemical equation above =Photosynthesis
The process represented by the chemical equation above =Glucose
Organs in plants where compound B can be found.
• Leaves
• Stems
• Carrots
• Tubers
• Bulbs
Methods that farmers can use to speed up the process suggested by the equation
above.
• Use of greenhouses
• Pruning
• Trellis systems
• Use optimal planting density
