Title: Requirements for Plant Growth and Development


1
Requirements for Plant Growth and Development
  • Agri-science
  • Mr. Bailey

2
Your TASK!!!!
  • Make a list of requirements for basic survival
  • You have two minutes
  • shelter, water, food, air, and clothing

3
Your TASK!!!!
  • Pretend you are plant
  • List the requirements for survival
  • You have two minutes
  • soil, water, nutrients, air, and light

4
What is meant by growing media?
  • Growing media whatever material a plant grows in
    and gets nutrients from
  • May be soil or a soil substitute
  • such as peat moss, perlite, or even water.

5
What is meant by growing media?
  • Place for its roots to grow and a place from
    which it can absorb nutrients
  • The media acts as a shelter for the plant by
    giving it a place to grow, just as humans must
    have a place to live.

6
What nutrients do plants need?
  • Just as humans need food to survive, plants need
    nutrients to grow.
  • Plants need three main nutrients
  • Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium
  • N, P, and K
  • From the media in which they grow, but more
    nutrients may need to be added

7
What is water's role in a plant's life?
  • Plants get the water they need in several ways
  • 1) Directly from rain, irrigation, misting, or a
    bucket
  • 2) Absorb it through their roots
  • 3) Absorb water that is in the air
  • Water in the air is called humidity.

8
What is a plant's relationship with air?
  • Plants clean the air
  • Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and
    use it to produce food
  • They give off oxygen as a by-product of this
    activity.

9
What is light's role in a plant's life?
  • Must have light in order to make food and they
    must have food to live.
  • The process of making food from light is called
  • photosynthesis and takes place in the plant's
    leaves.
  • The amount of light affects whether or not the
    plant will bloom. Plants can live in either
    sunlight or artificial light.

10
Activity Time!!!!!!!
  • Your group will construct a garden terrarium
    using one of the following
  • Plastic 2 litter bottle
  • 1 gallon Milk jug
  • 20 oz. Plastic soda bottle

11
Conclusion
  • Plants and humans have very similar needs for
    survival.
  • Remembering what people need in order to live can
    serve as a reminder of what plants need.

12
Exit Slip
  • What are the growing medias, air, water, and
    lights role in a plants life?
  • What are the three nutrients required for plant
    growth?
