Document Summary
It is more severe for a shade plant to be planted in the sun, it is unlikely that it will survive. Leaf area index the surface area of the leaf of a plant or a plant community compared to the surface of the soil. It is the area of leaf over the area of ground. Optimum amount of leaf area 4-6 = no efficiency adding more leaves. It is not the amount of leaf area but the amount of sun leaf area that determines the leaf productivity. We know that the size of the seed will determine planting depth. Small seeds do not have enough energy to move up through the soil. If it is a sun or shaded plant. For example carrots need light so they are planted shallowly. Plants will grow between 0-50 degrees celsius. Most horticulture grows in 0 40 degrees celsius.
