tested the effect of a fertilizer on the growth of plants. They had 2 sets of plants, Group A which gets fertilizer, water and sun and Group B which gets only water and sun (but in equal amounts to Group A). 1. Explain how this scenario is a controlled experiment and identify the manipulated variable. The manipulated variable is the fertilizer since the other factors (water and sunlight) are given in equal amounts. It is a controlled experiment because one group receives fertilizer while the other
possible. However, plant growth can be influenced by seed variety, the amount of water, the soil type, amount of light, etc., and many other variables. For this experiment, we are testing the growth of the Brassica rapa, a mustard plant under the same conditions of water, sunlight, and oxygen, with two different treatment solutions. There will be two pots, one has a treatment of just deionized water and the other a treatment of fertilizer as well as deionized water. Because the fertilizer has the added
Brassicaceae family. Radishes are great plants for demonstrating the effects of different levels of plant nutrition, germinating and growing quickly and reliably. Radish plants take up nutrients from the soil to make food. Soil is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium; but these nutrients are sometimes not present in the acceptable amount. Nitrogen is vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, which is the compound by which plants use in photosynthesis. It is also
we are testing the effect of fertilizer on the speed of plant growth. We prepared a 4 quad cell, 1 control group and 3 experimental groups. So, we had one with no fertilizer, one with three seeds of fertilizer, one with six seeds of fertilizer, and lastly, one with nine seeds of fertilizer. The plants that we grew were called Wisconsin Fast Plants, members of the crucifer family. These plants are small and easy to grow, but for optimal growth they require continuous fertilizer, water, fluorescent
Asexual Plant Propagation At the beginning of this lab my group and I were instructed to go and cut 24 10cm coleus plants. After we had done so we put three in a 2½ pot making eight pots total, we then filled each pot with a clay media. After that we then labeled each pot assigning two pots to four different treatments. The first treatment was for the plants to receive fertilizer and heat, the second was no fertilizer with heat, third was fertilizer without heat, lastly to neither be given fertilizer
this lab was to investigate and observe the effects of organic vs. synthetic fertilizers on plant growth by planting lima beans with added amounts of fertilizers, and to see how does adding different nutrients to the soil affect the growth of the lima bean? A significant difference was examined between the plants that contained manure and miracle growth, unfortunately the plant with no additional fertilizers (Plant #3) did not show any growth. The plant that grew the most was the one that contained
own food. Some of these people, however, still use fertilizer in order to increase the rate of production and total yield produced. Those people who use a form of fertilizer to feed their plants, they generally use cattle manure or home-made fertilizer. At home we used to use inorganic fertilizers on our plants as they are easier to use and easily available at any garden shop, however, we have started to use the new Bokashi medium as fertilizer as it is better for the environment and it also reduces
are researching the effect on the growth and survival of Wisconsin Fast Plants using fertilizer pellets to help with the growth of the plants. Wisconsin Fast Plants is a plant member of the crucifer family which is related to other plants (vegetables) such as cabbage, broccoli, turnips, etc. This plants are small and can grow very easily because they go through their cell cycle around 40 days. Wisconsin Fast Plants Fertilizers are different materials used that can provide plants with the nutrients
ammonia makes many people think that it can double as fertilizer and promote plant growth. However, using household ammonia, which is present in many cleansers, can do more harm than good. Learning the ins and outs of this chemical and its effect on plant growth might make you think twice about using it. Ammonia and Plants Ammonia is presents in soil, water and air, and is an important source of nitrogen to plants. Nitrogen promotes plant growth and improves fruits and seed production, resulting in
Nitrogen as a Fertilizer, Nutrient, or Pollutant Nitrogen can always be a fertilizer, nutrient, or pollutant depending on the circumstances and the environment it is in. As a fertilizer, nitrogen can be extremely useful in aiding the growth of many plants. As a nutrient, nitrogen is essential to many plants growth and survival. As a pollutant, nitrogen can not only affect the plant at the given time but be very detrimental many years down the road. No matter where you go nitrogen will always
