	Aromatherapy: Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders
		The essential oils may be used in massage, added to a warm bath, used to moisten a compress that is applied to the affected part of the body, added to a vaporizer for inhalation, or diffused throughout a room.
		Gattefossé discovered the healing properties of essential plant oils accidentally; after burning his hand in a laboratory accident, he found that lavender oil healed his burns in a very short time.
		Aromatherapy is considered to be a useful complementary treatment for the relief of depression, anxiety, insomnia, panic disorder, stress-related physical disorders, menstrual cramps, and some gastrointestinal complaints.

	Management of Potato Diseases in the Home Garden
		Physiological disorders are not infectious and will not spread in the garden, but they may affect the appearance of the plants or the storability of the tubers.
		This physiological disorder is caused by rapid tissue growth, resulting in an irregular brown cavity in the center of the potato.
		These specks are organs used by the plant to "breathe." When potatoes are subjected to soils that are saturated with water, the lenticels may swell as their function is impeded by the water.

		Plants and people both need nutrients in order to grow and thrive, water to moisten the tissues and facilitate metabolic processes, air for respiration, and environmental and seasonal conditions conducive to life.
		Human bodies are shaped and supported by bony skeletons, while plants have their own connective tissues and skeletal structures; the growth and development of plant cells and organs rely on a skeleton comprised principally of microtubules and microfilaments.
		Plants have detoxification mechanisms that work to break down xenobiotics; many of these mechanisms are similar to how the human body deals with toxic compounds.

	Physiological plant disorders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is important to be able to distinguish between plant growth problems that are caused by pathogens, such as a virus or fungus, and those which are caused by nonpathological disorders in the functioning of the plant system, such as poor light, weather damage, water-logging or lack of nutrients.
		Whilst the symptoms may appear disease-like, physiological plant disorders can usually be prevented by altering environmental conditions, although once a plant is showing the symptoms of a deficiency it is likely that that season’s yields will be reduced.
		Frost damage can be avoided by ensuring that tender plants are properly hardened off before planting out, and that they are not planted too early in the season, before the risk of frost has passed.

	Fruits & Vegetables: Tomato Fruit Disorders
		Once moisture is available, the plant resumes regular growth but calcium uptake continues to lag and the rapidly-expanding plant doesn’t have enough calcium to develop properly.
		It is important to use clean seed, crop rotation, and plant spacing which allows optimum air circulation and promote drying of the plants after irrigation, rainfall, and heavy dews.
		The disease overwinters on decaying plant debris and is spread by wind and splashing rain.

	Nonparasitic Disorders of Tomato
		Nonparasitic, or physiological, disorders are the result of plant responses to abnormal environmental conditions.
		Factors often associated with this disorder are heavy applications of nitrogenous fertilizers, root pruning (due to close cultivation) and supporting and pruning plants.
		Heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizers and abundant rain cause rapid and luxuriant plant growth and predispose the fruit to blossom-end rot, especially during periods of dry, hot weather.

	Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture - Physiological Disorders
		This disorder is associated with rough handling and low humidity at harvest or in storage.
		Storage at temperatures above 16 C that physiologically age the tuber or low concentrations of a chemical sprout inhibitor (chlorpropham) may cause internal sprouting.
		Wildings are potato plants that produce darker green foliage than normal, rarely flower, produce numerous stems and many more tubers than normal.

	Physiological Disorders of Landscape Palms
		This disorder is caused by excessive B in the soil or irrigation water.
		In shallow planted palms, newly emerging adventitious roots arising from the base of the stem axis are exposed to dry air, rather than moist soil and this dry environment inhibits their normal development.
		Deep planting is quite common when seedlings are planted into containers, but also occurs in the landscape when large specimen-sized palms are intentionally planted deeply for added support or to reduce the final height of a palm to a particular size.

	Physiological Disorders of Stonefruit
		Physiological disorders are problems that are not caused by insects or diseases, but rather by the climate (temperature, rain, humidity) and by management practices that change the micro-climate endured by the plant.
		The most common physiological disorders seen on stone fruit in Texas are split and shattered pits, double fruit and cleft sutures, fruit buttons, blind wood and delayed foliation.
		For all the disorders, it is clear that the varieties differ in their sensitivity although in most cases, little work has been done in the evaluation of the commercial varieties for these traits.

	Interiorscape Integrated Pest Management
		For example, if powdery mildew develops on a plant that is usually resistant to this disease, an investigation may reveal that the plant was consistently overwatered, resulting in high moisture and humidity (abiotic conditions) in the planting area.
		The goal of a plant pest manager is to recognize and manipulate these primary factors to promote stress-free plants and eliminate conditions favorable to disease development.
		If a fungicide is labeled for use on the plant(s) and for the pathogen you need to treat, but is not labeled for use in an interior landscape setting, you may temporarily relocate the plant to a location that is on the label (such as outdoors or in a greenhouse) and then make the treatment.

	Sleep Disorders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		What keeps us tied to the light is a cleverly balanced internal clock, known as circadian rhythm, that synchronizes a wide variety of physiological systems including heart rate, body temperature and, most importantly, sleep cycles.
		Along with being tired and depressed, people with SAD also tend to overeat and oversleep in winter, almost as if their bodies were preparing for hibernation.
		For jet lag, time changes and circadian rhythm disorders, the internal clock can be reset in either direction — shifted forward or backward, depending upon when light is used.

		It may be too late to help the specific plant when the question is asked, but proper diagnosis may be extremely important in preventing the problem on other plants or in preventing the problem in the future.
		The major control measure for this disease is based on planting wheat cultivars each year that are resistant to the pathogen races that are predicted to be present during the growing season.
		In cases where the plant pathogen is difficult or impossible to grow on artificial media, other methods may be used for their detection, such as the use of serological tests for viruses.

		Because conditions under which poisonous plants are eaten are so variable, and because there are so many factors influencing the degree of poisoning, any ranking or grouping of plants on the basis of their relative importance is purely arbitrary and subjective.
		Any one plant may be thought relatively unimportant and yet, under a certain set of circumstances, may cause the fatal poisoning of a whole herd of cattle.
		Some plants are toxic by accumulation; that is, fresh material or plants dried in hay or other feed can cause harm when eaten over a long period of time rather than when ingested in a single feeding.

		Three basic physiological functions must be maintained during the periparturient period if disease is to be avoided: adaptation of the rumen to lactation diets that are high in energy density, maintenance of normocalcemia, and maintenance of a strong immune system.
		Milk fever is a complex metabolic disorder that occurs at the onset of lactation.
		Prevention of periparturient disorders is of utmost importance because the occurrence of one disorder predisposes the animal to other metabolic problems.
