Degree-day (DD): A degree-day is a unit of measurement that represents the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This unit is used in agriculture in order to predict when crops will mature based on the amount of heat they are exposed to.
Dehiscence: Dehiscence is the process of a fruit or seed pod opening up and releasing its contents. This typically happens when the fruit or seed is ripe and ready to be dispersed.
Delayed dormancy: a state of dormancy in which a plant delays the onset of dormancy until conditions are no longer favourable for growth.
Delayed dormant is a type of dormancy that allows plants to delay the onset of winter dormancy. This can be beneficial for plants that are grown in areas with mild winters, as it allows them to continue growing and producing flowers and fruits later into the season. Delayed dormancy can also be useful for gardeners who want to extend the growing season of their plants.
Dermal exposure: the exposure of the skin to a substance.
