The new shoot or stem of a plant is called a shoot.
What is a sapling
In colloquial language, it could be said that shoots are the “children” of plants. In many cases, it is recommended to separate the shoots from the mother plant since, otherwise, competition for resources occurs that can affect survival. That is why experts suggest moving the shoots elsewhere so that they can grow without affecting the already mature plant.
The notion of shoot is also used to name the result of the second cutting of the natural meadow. It is a group of watery plants, very tasteless, with a loose consistency, with too many leaves covering it and very difficult to dry; Furthermore, since they are not as close to maturity as those that make up hay, their nutritional level is lower.
Plants to feed animals
Hay, on the other hand, is a dried legume or grass that is cut and used to feed farm animals; It may contain grass flowers in its mixture, although it normally includes Lolium perenne and Lolium multiflorum , as well as clovers (such as white, underground and red), various grasses, barley, wheat and oats. Alfalfa is a type of hay highly valued in many parts of the world for feeding horses and cattle.
The normal thing is that the plants that make up the shoot, when it is understood as the second cut of a natural meadow, are perennials . Perennial plants last more than two years, and are also known as perennials . These are herbaceous, non-woody plants, with stems and leaves that dry when winter arrives; Its roots, however, remain intact beneath the ground, and sprout again the following spring. Perennial plants are very popular and are available in a wide variety.
In a symbolic sense, a son is mentioned as an offspring.
The sapling as a result of cutting the meadow
Another meaning of sapling is the result of the last cuts of an artificial meadow. In this case, the shoot cannot adequately support the solipeds (those mammalian animals that have only one finger on each foot), especially when constant and hard work is required; For this reason, it is reserved for ruminants, which consume it instead of other forages and thus increase bait formation and milk secretion.
The shoot can also be either the third or fourth cutting. If the meadow is good and early, then the second cut is very similar to the first, although it always offers greater flexibility than hay, is greener and looser, and is usually made up of plants whose roots do not suffer drought easily. In addition, it is common for it to have no flowers or spikes and to have a lower degree of maturity.
Other uses of the term
In a symbolic sense, the offspring of an individual is called a offspring, especially when it is a small child : “Today I can't go out, I have to stay at home to take care of my offspring,” “I am excited to see that my offspring is so similar to his grandfather” , “Your son is loving and very nice” .
A father who has a 4 -year-old son and a 7 -year-old daughter may thus refer to them as his “offspring.”
It should be noted that a song by Argentine musician Luis Alberto Spinetta is titled “Retoño” . The Peruvian writer Julián Huanay , on the other hand, published a book that he called “El retoño” .
