Experimental studies on some observed variations in Luffa aegyptiaca
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1983The causes of some observed variations in plant size and leaf morphology of populations of Luffa aegyptiaca were investigated experimentally. The effects of soil type, soil salinity, soil moisture content, and mineral nutrients on the germination and growth of this species were examined. The results indicate that variations in size and leaf morphology

The growth of Luffa aegyptiaca in response to various nitrogen sources and concentrations
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1985The growth responses of Luffa aegyptiaca to various nitrogen sources and concentrations were investigated. In sand culture at high concentrations of nitrogen, the species showed equally favourable responses to nitrate nitrogen (KNO3 or Ca(NO3)2), ammonium nitrogen ((NH4)2SO4), and the combination of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen (NH4NO3).

FEEDING BEHAVIOUR OF EPILACHNA VIGINTIOCTOPUNCTATA (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) ON LUFFA AEGYPTIACA
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1969Observations on adult Epilachna vigintioctopunctata Fabr. on Luffa aegyptiaca show that these insects prefer flowers in light and leaves and flowers in dark. Probably physical and chemical stimuli, originating from the flowers, guide beetles to them in light.

The Effects of Light and Temperature on Germination and Growth of Luffa aegyptiaca
Physiologia Plantarum, 1978AbstractThe effects of light and temperature on the germination and growth of Luffa aegyptiaca were investigated both in the laboratory and in the field. The seeds germinated in both darkness and light but germination was better in the light.At constant temperatures germination was best at 21°C, while alternating temperatures of 21 and 31°C and 15 and ...
