The distinguishing aspect of the age of consent laws is that the person below the minimum age is regarded as the victim, and his or her sex partner is regarded as the offender, unless both are underage.

=== Definitions === {{Main|Age of consent#Defenses and exceptions}} *'''Limited by age''': younger partner is deemed able to consent to having sex with an older one as long as their age difference doesn't exceed a specified amount. *'''Limited by relationship''': younger partner is deemed able to consent to having sex with an older one as long as the latter is not in a position of trust or authority, or is not recognised to be abusing the inexperience of the younger one. *'''Unlimited''': age from which one is deemed able to consent to having sex with anyone else or [[marriageable age]] if they must be married Different jurisdictions express these definitions differently. Some, like most Australian states, may say the age of consent is 16 except if the older partner is in a position of authority over the younger one. So, effectively, the unrestricted age of consent there is 18. Others, like Argentina, may say the age of consent is 18, but an exception is made down to 13 years of age, if the older partner is not in a position of authority over the younger one. The data below reflects what each jurisdiction's legislation actually means, rather than what it states on the surface. <section end=Definitions /> {|class="nowrap sortable mw-datatable wikitable" style="table-layout:fixed;margin:auto;text-align:right" |- valign=bottom !

"A common misperception about statutory rape is that state codes define a single age at which an individual can legally consent to sex. Only 12 states have a single age of consent, below which an individual cannot consent to sexual intercourse under any circumstances, and above which it is legal to engage in sexual intercourse with another person above the age of consent. For example, in Massachusetts, the age of consent is 16. In the remaining 39 states, other factors come into play: age differentials, minimum age of the victim, and minimum age of the defendant. Each is described below." - The mathematics does not add up in this section as there are 50 states, unless DC is counted as #51.</ref><ref>"[http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=28-805 Chapter 28 Section 805]".

It flourishes naturally in waterways, and requires little if any care. It is used extensively in Indonesian, Burmese, Thai, Lao, Cambodian, Malay, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese cuisine, especially in rural or ''[[kampung]]'' (village) areas. The vegetable is also extremely popular in [[Taiwan]], where it grows well. During the [[Japanese occupation of Singapore]] in World War II, the vegetable grew remarkably easily in many areas, and became a popular wartime crop.

High soil moisture is beneficial for growth. Clay soils and [[marsh]]y soils rich in organic matter are suitable for water spinach. The ideal pH range for the growth is from 5 to 7. The provision of shade has been shown to have a positive influence on the yield of water spinach.<ref name="Pandey, A.K. Aquatic Vegetables 2011"/> ===Traditional cultivation methods=== [[File:Starr-170627-0206-Ipomoea aquatica-young starts with Kim and Thai Worker Hin-Hydroponics Greenhouse Sand Island-Midway Atoll (36319965171).jpg|thumb|''I. aquatica'' being grown in a [[hydroponics]] greenhouse in Sand Island, [[Midway Atoll]]]] Water spinach is cultivated in a variety of systems. In [[Hong Kong]], two methods are traditionally used: the dryland method and the wetland method. In '''the dryland method''', water spinach is grown on raised beds which are separated by irrigation ditches. The seeds can be sown directly onto the beds. Alternatively, a nursery may be used and the seedlings are transplanted when they reach a sufficient size. In either case, the distance between the plants should be about {{convert|12|cm}} by the time they are {{convert|15|cm}} tall. Regular irrigation is crucial in the dryland system and so is sufficient fertilization. Water spinach cultivated with the dryland method is ready for harvest 50 to 60 days after sowing. Harvesting is done by pulling up the whole plant.<ref name="Edie, Harry 1969">Edie, Harry, and H. Ho. "Ipomoea Aquatica as a Vegetable Crop in Hong Kong." Economic Botany 23.1 (1969): 32-36. Web.</ref> The '''wetland method''' is the traditionally more common and important method for cultivation in Hong Kong: In the wetland method, water spinach is cultivated on flat fields surrounded by raised banks, which have oftentimes been used as [[Paddy field|rice paddies]] in the past. These former rice paddies have a heavy clay soil with an iron-pan. This helps to retain water for the water spinach. The seedlings to be used in this method are usually grown in a nursery on a dry field, as germination under water is quite poor. Six weeks after sowing, cuttings can be taken from the seedlings for transplantation. One cutting is an approximately {{convert|30|cm}} long cut from the stem containing seven or eight nodes. This is then planted in the field with a spacing of about {{convert|40|cm}}. The field is prepared beforehand by flooding it to a depth of {{convert|3|to|5|cm}}. The soil itself is tramped into a liquid mud so that the cuttings can root easily. Once the plants are established, the depth of the flooding is increased to {{convert|15|to|20|cm}}. The first harvest in the wetland method can usually be done at around 30 days after transplantation. Also, the harvesting differs from the dryland system: In the wetland, the upper part of the main shoot is cut at about water level. This stimulates lateral growth and produces horizontal shoots carrying vertical branches. After the first harvests, every seven to ten days throughout the summer, these vertical branches can be harvested. After the planting period, the fields are drained and once the fruit of the water spinach is ripe, it is harvested, dried, then trodden to release the seeds which are to be used for the following season.<ref name="Edie, Harry 1969"/> ===Use of fertilizer=== How much fertilizer is used for the cultivation strongly depends on the region. Most research is from the 1980s and 1990s. Generally, it has been shown that a dose of {{convert|60|kg}} [[Nitrogen|N]]/ha is sufficient and that the application of [[Potassium|K]] can be beneficial on the yield. Also, the application of plant growth regulators, for example [[Adenine]] and Zetanine,{{clarify|What's zetanine?|date=May 2022}} has been found to be an effective means to promote water spinach growth. One study has determined, that the highest yields are produced with the application of 60&nbsp;kg/ha of N, 90&nbsp;kg/ha of [[Phosphorus pentoxide|P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>]] and 50&nbsp;kg/ha of [[Potassium oxide|K<sub>2</sub>O]] for the first harvest. For the second harvest the optimal fertilization was determined as 120&nbsp;kg/ha of N, 45&nbsp;kg/ha of P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and 100&nbsp;kg/ha of K<sub>2</sub>O.<ref name="Pandey, A.K. Aquatic Vegetables 2011"/> '''Taiwan''': In Taiwan, the usual fertilization includes the basic application of about 10 t/ha of cow manure followed by 50&nbsp;kg/ha of [[ammonium sulfate]] after each harvest.<ref name="Pandey, A.K. Aquatic Vegetables 2011"/> '''Bangkok''': In Bangkok, it is common to apply about 300&nbsp;kg/ha of NPK fertilizer twice a month.<ref name="Pandey, A.K. Aquatic Vegetables 2011"/> '''Indonesia''': In Indonesia, usually 150&nbsp;kg to 300&nbsp;kg of NPK are applied per hectare.<ref name="Pandey, A.K.
