CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The term dormancy means the plants have a period of rest. It is a natural part of most plants’ life cycle. When a flower is in a dormant state, it consumes less water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plant physiology, dormancy is a period of arrested plant growth. It is a survival strategy exhibited by many plant species, which enables them to survive in climates where part of the year is unsuitable for growth, such as winter or dry seasons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the dormant to the germinating state.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some plants will slow down their growth, some will stop their growth and blooming when they enter dormancy. Leaves of the dormant plant may turn yellow and they may droop.

Detailed explanation-5: -Time for Plants to Chill What actually triggers dormancy? As autumn begins, the amount of sunlight available begins to shorten and days become cooler. The drop in temperature slows down a plant’s metabolism and in conjunction with less sunlight, causes photosynthesis and respiration to slow, halting any growth.
