mainly shows four phases of growth :-
1. Initial slow growth. ( Lag Phase).
2. Derive a period of growth log phase grand period of growth exponential phase where maximum growth is seen in short period.

What is development ?
It is overall term which refer to the various changes that occur in plant during its life cycle.
Development stages :-
Germination and emergence
seedling growth
Maximum vegetative growth stage
Primordial differentiation
flowering stage
fruit growth
fruit maturity
physiological maturity
harvest maturity
Factor affecting growth and development ;-
Germination
temperature
soil moisture
depth of sowing.
seedling growth.
leaf growth .
tillering and branching.
Difference between growth and development -
Growth :-
Growth is quantitative .
growth is limited period.
Development :-
Development is quantitative as well as qualitative.
