Introduction
Plants use both sodium and chloride to aid in normal function. Sodium is not essential in most plants, it can be used in small amounts as a micronutrient; partially replace potassium in some plants, aid in operation of stomata, and increase the plants ability to absorb water. In large amounts, typically above fifty parts per million, sodium toxicity occurs, resulting in necrosis which may kill the plant; sodium deficiency poses no threat to the plant as it is not an essential element. Chloride is a micronutrient, essential in most plants assisting in metabolic processes, photosynthesis, and osmosis. Chloride toxicity normally occurs at about seventy parts per million and leads to necrosis; chloride deficiency occurs at less than two parts per million and can cause necrosis …show more content…
Unguiculata, meaning it is a legume and in the same family as many other beans. The California Black-eyed pea has very few pests and diseases and is nitrogen fixing. This pea can survive harsh heat and drought but any frost will hurt the plant, they grow in temperate sub-tropical regions. All members of the pea family have a low sodium tolerance which should show more drastic effects with different amounts,
Black-eyed peas are used in culinary dishes around the world, from the American south in “Texas Caviar,” a traditional meal mad with black-eyed peas, garlic and a vinaigrette to Vietnam in “chè đậu trắng” a dish with black-eyed peas, sticky rice, and coconut milk. The peas are rich in carbohydrates and in protein
Black-eyed peas have an approximate sodium amounting to seven milligrams per one hundred seventy two grams or one gram of sodium per twenty four and a half kilograms of peas. This ratio shows that there is naturally occurring sodium taken in by the plant and it has is used to an
