Description
FIELDS OF SUNFLOWER AND WIND TURBINES IN ROMANIA
Sunflowers can reach 12 to 16 feet tall and even higher in special circumstances but the garden variety, the dwarf sunflowers, tend to not grow taller than 3 feet.
Young Sunflowers Track the Sun is a fact also referred to as heliotropism.
A young sunflower’s face follows the sun from sunrise to sunset every day and repeats the cycle until maturity.
As sunflowers reach maturity, their internal clocks start slowing down until they finish the heliotropism behavior completely.
Mature sunflowers face East for a couple different reasons:
— Sunflowers can attract up to five times more pollinators because they warm up faster than westward facing plants.
— Sunflowers are more productively warmed when Eastward facing.
There are two common types of sunflower seed: oilseed and non-oilseed.
Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower.
Non-oilseed is the production of sunflower seeds for human consumption.
