	AllRefer.com - growing season (Botany, General) - Encyclopedia
		In temperate climates the growing season is limited by seasonal changes in temperature and is defined as the period between the last killing frost of spring and the first killing frost of autumn, at which time annual plants die and biennials and perennials cease active growth and become dormant for the cold winter months.
		In tropical climates, in which there is less seasonal temperature change, the amount of available moisture often determines the periods of plant growth; in the rainy season growth is luxuriant and in the dry season many plants become dormant.
		In the Arctic the growing season is short but concentrated; the number of daylight hours is so large that the total amount of sunlight equals that of a temperate growing season with shorter days.

	Growing season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the northern U.S. and Canada, the growing season usually means the days between last and first frost, or approximately the last and first occurrence of 0°Celsius (freezing) overnight low temperature.
		In much of Europe, the growing season is defined as the average number of days a year with a 24-hour average temperature of at least 5°C (41°F; 6°C is sometimes used).
		In some warm climates (like in the subtropical Savanna), the growing season is limited by the availability of water, with little growth in the dry season.

	NCH-40
		In the simplest terms, a crop growing season refers to that period of the year when seasonal weather is favorable for growth.
		In the Corn Belt, the "growing season" is often defined as the number of freeze-free days during the year beginning with the last freezing temperature in the spring and ending with the first occurrence of freezing temperatures in the autumn.
		In these geographic areas, the frost- free season is much longer than the corn crop growing season; and because of this, the corn crop growing season is not determined by the freeze-free season.

	Growing Gourds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		At the end of the year, around the time the growing season has come to an end, or the weather has turned cool, he picks his gourds and sets them on the wagon to dry.
		As long as the gourds are green and growing, there is no problem with them sitting on the ground and in fact, they will be just fine for a long time without any threat of decay.
		Also, using Miracle Grow is fine if you only have a few plants, but probably one of the easiest ways to fertilize your gourds is to throw a hand full of triple 13, (13-13-13) on them and let them go.

	Agro-ecological zoning
		The growing period provides a framework for summarizing temporally variable elements of climate, which can then be compared with the requirements and estimated responses of the plant.
		The determination of the beginning of the growing period is based on the start of the rainy season.
		The resulting units are the agro-ecological zones, which have a unique combination, or a specified range, of soil mapping units, growing period regimes, and thermal regimes; and agro-ecological cells, with unique combina- tions of growing period and thermal regimes and soil types.

	Growing Rhubarb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Following a season of growth the rhubarb crown becomes dormant and temperatures below 40 F are required to stimulate bud break and subsequent growth.
		The rhubarb season (in the United States) runs from April to September, although it can be grown forced (see Forcing in winter) which accounts for its availability early in the year when other crops are scarce.
		Allow new stalks to develop before eating, or if it is the end of the growing season, try forcing some rhubarb indoors (see Forcing in winter).

		For example, suppose a 90 percent probability level for the spring season is computed to be March 1 at the 32 degree threshold.
		For the fall season, the probability level represents the chance of having a temperature as cold or colder earlier than the computed date.
		This capability is especially useful in agriculture where the risk of crop production associated with planting dates, the length of the growing season, and potential destruction of immature and/or tender vegetation is a determining factor in the farm management strategy.

	Native Warm-season Grasses for Missouri Stockmen
		They described the central Missouri prairies as "covered with sweet, luxuriant grass," "which was "equally good for grazing and haying; grass not surpassed in growing and fattening cattle." However, without knowledge of native grass management, the prairie grasses soon were weakened by overgrazing and late mowing.
