The atmospheric conditions at a particular time
Answer:
The correct option is 21
Explanation:
First of all, it should be noted that the full moon is usually observed in the middle of the lunar month, which is usually 29 or 30 days, hence the full moon can be observed either on the 13th but most likely on the 14th and/or the 15th of the lunar month.
At the early days of the month, the new moon begins to form a crescent which appears and continues to get fuller (called waxing crescent) as the day goes by until half of the moon is noticed (usually after about seven days) on one side, this is known as the first quarter.
After half of the moon is noticed on one side, the moon continues to get fuller (called gibbous moon) until a full moon is noticed on the 14th/15th day. <u>This full moon then starts waning or becoming smaller until the other half of the moon becomes visible while the initially seen half becomes invisible/clouded (this is called </u><u>third quarter</u><u>)</u>. This happens after another 7 days or on the 21st day. This half moon continues to get smaller (forming a waning crescent) until no moon is seen at the end of the month (around the 28 or 29th day) which is referred to the new moon.
Hence, we can see from the above that from the third quarter to a new full moon will go through the steps below
third quarter ⇒ new moon ⇒ first quarter ⇒ full moon
If each step takes about 7 days and there are 3 steps, the approximate number of days she has to wait before the full moon is 21 days.
Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to
stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however
if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on
quality.
High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage
fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the
fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and
the animals will be less keen to eat it.

Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is
incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury
uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if
insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also
occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool
temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after
application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a
period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot
convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant.

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they
are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and
for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may
in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this
is often not significant.
Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.
