ability to reach/to ripen to full maturity Explanation: Die Reifefähigkeit der Pflanze und Sorten spielt im Ökologischen Landbau ebenfalls eine wichtige Rolle und hebt sich damit von den Kriterien der konventionellen Züchtung ab. Bei vielen gegenwärtigen Sorten kann man beobachten, dass bei den Pflanzen die Fähigkeit des Reifens nicht mehr vollständig entwickelt wird Die Getreideähren haben ihre Färbung verloren, daher findet eher ein Absterben aufdem noch grünen Halm statt, als ein Ausreifen der Körner.“ http://www.bibliothek.zukunfts-zentrum.de/020_bb/bb_051-060/... The following quote might help you with the translation of some of the other terms you queried: “Size and maturity are also important, and inseparable from viability and vigor. The relative size and maturity of seeds relates directly to their survivability when planted—for highest viability and vigor, seeds must be large and fully mature. Large, mature seeds have more stored food to nourish the seeds once they have sprouted, and produce strong, vigorous seedlings which have a better chance of surviving and thriving under field conditions. It is best to allow seeds to ripen to full maturity before they are harvested—mature seeds have higher germination and survival rates than seeds harvested at an immature stage. This is because of natural metabolic and cellular changes the seeds undergo as they mature, in preparation for dormancy. “ http://howtosaveseeds.com/basic.php “ability to reach full maturity” http://tiny.cc/ajxorw “Balam has demonstrated the ability to reach full maturity with exposure to less than optimal heat units, showing a good possibility to produce in temperate climates.” http://www.hellotrade.com/us-agriseeds/balam-hot-peppers.htm... |
