benefits of katakataka plant?

Answer 1

KATAKATAKA (Kalanchoe pinnata)

Katakataka is an erect juicy herb reaching more than a meter high. In other dialects, it is known as maritana, tapak-tapak. It is abundant in thickest and open places, and is also cultivated for ornamental purposes. The plant flowers from December to March.

Fro medicinal purpose, the entire plant may be collected the whole year round. The parts are chiefly used fresh. And for a very important reminder, preparations from katakataka should not be taken internally.

For sprains, eczema, infections, burns and headaches, just pund fresh material and apply as poultice on affected areas.

Katakataka can be identified through its leaves. They are simple, thick and juicy, with scalloped margins; roots and baby plants may arise from these margins. The flowers are hanging downward, red or purple in color. The fruits are dry, several seeded, opening on once side of the pod.

Good question, I was unaware of this plant and its benefit so I thank you for the education.

Answer 3

Dave, with a masters in science you ought to know that any argument is valid until proven entirely false. Yes there will changes to some areas of the world like browning of some forests, but that is not directly proven to be a result of CO2. Also I'm going to guess that someone showed a nice picture of areas that turned brown without showing that other areas are getting greener, like some parts of the Sahara and the new open areas of Greenland and lower Canada. So does more CO2 help the plants, not necessarily if they had enough to begin with it probably doesn't matter in the least to them. They probably just shrug their shoulders and say hey, whatever. If the didn't have enough they are probably breathing in deep going ahhhhh. It is probably an unrelated issue that somebody worked really really hard to fabricate a connection to get another person to go "see, this is what Global Warming causes, this proves it."

I don't know about all plants, but I do know about wheat. There are wheat breeding programs in Canada and the US geared toward developing new varieties that will do well in drier climates expected with GW. The direct effect of increased CO2 in test plots in a greenhouse is higher yields on the order of 20%. Under field conditions, the increase is in the 5-10% range, provided that other factors such as nitrogen, water and temperature are held fixed. Despite higher yields, the protein content and hence quality is lower. Under warmer conditions, the rate of biomass production is increased, but the length of the growing season is reduced (faster maturation) and the net effect is slightly lower yields. Under drier conditions, the lower yield is offset by CO2 fertilization, but not to the extent forcast by earlier studies. In answer to your question, if CO2 alone increases, there will be more wheat. If the temperature also increases there will be less wheat. If the climate also becomes drier there will be less wheat.
