Question

Beta vulgaris is

• A. SDP
• B. LDP
• C. DNP
• D. IDP

Answer 1

The correct option is B LDP

Short day plants (SDP) require a long period of darkness and a short period of light to flower such as rice, tobacco, cotton. Long day plants (LDP) will flower when they are exposed to a short period of darkness and a long period of light such as lettuce, spinach, potato, radish, sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris). Long day plants flower in summer and short day plants flower in spring. Day-neutral plants (DNP) do not depend upon the amount of darkness or daylight hours such as sunflower, cucumber, tomato.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
