How to use "Waning" in context?
As the fall harvest approaches, farmers across the country are anxiously watching their crops to see how they have done in comparison to the same time last year. The Cornell Cooperative Extension in Central New York is one of many institutions keeping track of the progress of crops in the state by measuring the "waning"-the gradual reduction in the output of crops due to the natural process of photosynthesis.
"The fading and cessation of chlorophyll production in plants is a normal event that happens all the time as the plants age," says Adam Phillips, research specialist with the department of entomology at Cornell University.
