Optimal Harvest Timing: What a Simple Growth Model Reveals

By defining variables for growth rate, harvest interval, and total yield, the article builds a simplified mathematical model of chive (or plant) growth, shows that total harvest depends only on growth rate, and then refines the model with stage‑dependent rates to identify optimal cutting intervals.

Why Do Plants Follow the Golden Ratio? Unveiling the Math Behind Sunflower Spirals

This article explains how the golden ratio emerges in plant phyllotaxis, compares different angular ratios and their visual patterns, introduces continued fractions as a rigorous way to evaluate rational approximations, and links the mathematical findings to auxin‑driven growth mechanisms in plants.
