Definitions for "Growth stage"
the second stage of the product life cycle, in which the product's sales begin to climb quickly, increasing at an increasing rate through much of the stage; industry profits peak toward the end of the stage. New models and product versions for different market segments, and heightened competition, especially from less expensive substitutes. Building selective demand is key. See product life cycle, introduction stage, maturity stage, and decline stage.
A morphologic phase of plant or crop development that can be easily recognised in the field.
The growth or development stage of a forest. It recognises the "juvenile", "sapling", "pole", "mature", and "overmature senescent" growth stage of the forest. It should be recognised that at any development stage a tree may enter a "growth restricted" condition due to competition and if it remains in that condition for some time resumption of normal growth may not be possible.
