determinate(D) plants are more compact, bushy, and short-lived in nature. They generally have one main growth spurt, reach a certain size, and then yield a single large set of fruit all at once(or during a short period of time). Once a mature determinate plant has produced its main “bumper crop”, the plant will drastically slow down in production or stop growing entirely. Bush tomatoes and bush green beans are prime examples of determinate plants. 1, record 1, English, - determinate%20plant

La tomate-cerise rose Whippersnapper est une plante à croissance déterminée ne dépassant pas 50 cm de hauteur qui produit des grappes de tomates avec 5 à 18 beaux fruits – elle préfère les sols riches en matières organiques et une forte exposition au soleil. Elle est idéale pour les vergers, mais c'est un excellent choix pour la culture en pots pour sa croissance déterminée et son rendement élevé. 1, record 1, French, - plante%20%C3%A0%20croissance%20d%C3%A9termin%C3%A9e

The Concord grape originated in 1854 and was discovered by E. W. Bull. The berries have a heavy wax bloom with blue skin and pale green flesh. Berry and bunch size is medium with a somewhat compact conical cluster shape. The Concord's skin is reasonably durable and separates easily from its pulpy flesh. Its primary use is for juice and jam/jelly preserves, and for fresh market consumption. Many years ago, the Concord was used in port wines but that is no longer acceptable for premium wine production in Ontario. 1, record 6, English, - Concord%20grape

En matière de politique d'urbanisme et du logement, vont s'exprimer deux volontés, notamment : celle d'accroître sensiblement le nombre de logements sociaux et de mieux les répartir dans la ville; celle d'éliminer l'insalubrité et l'inconfort. Ceci devrait se traduire par un accroissement des préemptions de la Ville, la réservation de nouveaux terrains à des opérations sociales, des mesures pour diminuer la vacance, des contrats de modernisation des immeubles, etc...
