Classification<\/strong><\/h1>

The Urtica dioica <\/em>L. is a herbaceous plant from the family of Urticaceae and the order of Rosales. There are many common names such as common nettle, burn nettle or stinging nettle because of its stinging hairs. Next to the Urtica d<\/em>ioica<\/em> subs. d<\/em>ioica<\/em> subspecies exist such as the Urtica dioica <\/em>subs. galeopsifolia<\/em> (without nettles), Urtica dioica <\/em>subs. gansuensis<\/em> from China or U<\/em>rtica dioica <\/em>subs. afghanica<\/em> from Southwestern and Central Asia, to name only three representatives.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 2,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 7,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 7,\r\n \"relid\": 107,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"hr\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 3,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 14,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 9\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1.jpg\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 4,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 4,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 1124,\r\n \"attid\": 350,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1.jpg\",\r\n \"_1024\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1-1024x1365.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1-768x1024.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1-512x683.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/urtica-dioica_1-265x353.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 1050,\r\n \"h\": 1400,\r\n \"ar\": 1.3333333333333333,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

Structure<\/b><\/h1>

Urtica dioica <\/em>subs. dioica<\/em> is a herbaceous plant growing up to 300 cm tall with strongly growing rhizomes that anchor it in the soil and store starch. The plant also propagates via stolons. In addition to vegetative propagation the dioecious nettle reproduces with its seeds. The leaves of the plant are as green as the stem and are decussed. The nettle hairs sitting on the leaves and the stem contain small capsules containing serotonin, histamine and acetylcholine which cause itching. Moreover, the stem is angular and unbranched. The leaf structure is characterized by the fact that they are jagged and notched to the spread. Flower stands occur in panicles with a size of 2-5 cm.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 4,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 7,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 3,\r\n \"relid\": 5,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"hr\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 5,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 14,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 10\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

Spatial distribution<\/b><\/h1>

Nettles thrive best on soils containing high amounts of nitrogen. Thus, stinging nettle is used as a nitrogen indicator and grows on nitrogen rich soils. It also needs a lot of phosphate. Therefore, they are often found at the edges of fields fertilized with manure, as well as in cemeteries and in moats.<\/p>

It is distributed almost throughout the northern hemisphere with a few exceptions such as the tropics and the Arctic. The stinging nettle is also not uncommon in North America, Mexico and Canada and it is also found in rainy areas in the northern Pacific.<\/p>

Cultivation<\/b><\/h1>

The flowering period of the nettle is from June to October. For propagation, the rhizomes are planted or young plants are propagated with the help of the stolons. The harvest season usually starts in August and ends in October. During this time the full bloom is reached.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 8,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 7,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 7,\r\n \"relid\": 6\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"hr\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 9,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 14,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 12\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

Nutritional value<\/b><\/h1>

The stinging nettle is incredibly valuable in many ways, not only in terms of its nutritional benefits. In addition to a high protein content of the seeds the young leaves can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable side dish. Teas and tinctures also have their health-promoting effects. Apart from the high iron content, the stinging nettle has traces of magnesium, phosphorus and folic acid as well as numerous vitamins. It is supposed to have a blood-cleaning and detoxifying effect. Moreover, the seeds of Urtica dioica<\/em> are said to have an aphrodisiac effect.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 10,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 7,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 7,\r\n \"relid\": 7\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"hr\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 11,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 14,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 14\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture_Urtica_dioica2.png\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 12,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 5,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 2037,\r\n \"attid\": 259,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture_Urtica_dioica2.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture_Urtica_dioica2-265x229.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 350,\r\n \"h\": 302,\r\n \"ar\": 0.8628571428571429,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"caption\": \"

Special features<\/h1>

Because stinging nettles indicate phosphate and nitrogen and are considered bioindicators, stinging nettles can indicate organic remains and, in forensic science, can provide clues to dead bodies along with other plant species. Especially soils that have been exposed to organic waste provide the best conditions for Urtica dioica<\/em>. In the past, nettles were used mainly for the treatment of rheumatism, because lashing with the stinging plants stimulates blood circulation and the transmitter acetylcholine contained in the hairs can increase the activity of the synapses. Urtica dioica <\/em>also contains very valuable fibres used for the production of flameproof material. However, more breeding is necessary to select lines with long fibres.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 12,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 7,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 2,\r\n \"relid\": 13\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n}","phonegrid":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-textbook-of-botany.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
