You can eat rice and potatoes if you have diabetes. However, you will need to eat smaller portions. One medium potato (3 potatoes / pound) is a serving. Find 3 potatoes at the store and put in the scale until it equals one pound. Rice can be a challenge because a little goes a long way for your carbohydrate count.
Temperature and sunlight are more important growth parameters than nutrient concentrations. Duckweed grows across a wide temperature range â between 6oC and 33oC â but weâve determined that it grows best in a range of 18oC to 24oC.n the right conditions, this tiny plant can double its mass every 24 â 48 hours. Close control of the production parameters for duckweed is relatively easy in the small ponds and tanks favoured by backyard food producers.
Learning how to kill duckweed and preventing its buildup can keep your pond clear, unobstructed and help maintain a good environment for aquatic fish and plants. Aeration that reaches the bottom of the pond can disrupt the cycle of sediment buildup which encourages conditions appropriate for duckweed growth.
