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.
Dead diffuse knapweed plants act like tumbleweeds, with seeds dispersed over long distances. A Russian knapweed plant can produce up to 1,200 seeds that remain viable in the soil for 2 to 3 years. This weed does not produce as many seeds as diffuse and spotted knapweed because reproduction is primarily vegeta-tive.Depending on elevation of the site, knapweeds usually flower mid-summer and seed during early fall. Knapweed seeds are dispersed along roads, railways, and waterways.eeds can remain viable in the soil up to 8 years. Spotted knapweed plants have an aver-age life span of 3 to 4 years while diffuse knapweed plants usually die after reproduction. The seed heads of diffuse knapweed remain closed until the plant dries up and breaks off at ground level.
