A plant located dessert would make water. A plants located on mountain tops with clouds would make much more water.
1 Water when the atmosphere is cooled.
2 Water condenses when liquid nitrogen is boiled using air.
Water for biomass. Roofspace for rainwater harvesting. More water.
Jojoba
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/afcm/jojoba.htmlIV. Environment Requirements:
A. Climate:
Jojoba is best suited to areas that are frost free and is not grown in the northern midwest. When temperatures drop below 20°F, flowers and terminal portions of young branches of most jojoba plants are damaged. During early seedling development, excessive cold may kill an entire plantation. Frost may not damage taller plants to the same degree, but it can reduce yield. Jojoba is very tolerant of high temperatures.
Natural stands of jojoba occur in areas that receive 3 to 18 in. of precipitation annually. Irrigation has produced more luxuriant vegetative growth, but it is not known whether this increased growth results in higher seed yield. Jojoba requires the most water during late winter and early spring.
B. Soil:
Most wild jojoba populations occur on coarse, light or medium textured soils with good drainage and good water infiltration. Planting on heavy soil results in later blooming, slower growth and more problems with fungal diseases.
C. Seed Preparation and Germination:
Jojoba can be planted by direct seeding or by transplanting seedlings to the field. In the southwestern U.S. many growers prefer direct seeding because it is less expensive, faster and requires less hand labor. Seed can be germinated in vermiculite or sand at about 80°F. Emergence occurs in 15 to 20 days, and the seedlings are ready for transplanting when they are 6 to 12 in. tall (8 to 10 weeks). Emergence from direct-seeded fields occurs in 15 to 20 days. Propagation from clones or from tissue culture is a more rapid method of varietal improvement.
