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 -
