Germination of Mustard Seeds Using Fertiliser

Dried seaweed was considered a

In this experiment 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 light, and temperature between 18 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day. Fertilizers are substances that are put into soils to increase the growth of the plant. There are two different types of fertilizers, synthetic

The experiment was begun by obtaining four 8 oz. Styrofoam cups and punching a hole through the bottom of them. This hole was for water entry or excess water drainage. Moistened soil was packed to the 1/2 full line in the cup along with 3 fertilizer pellets The cups were labeled the following: Rosette-H20, Rosette-GA, Wild-Type-H2O, and Wild-type- GA.(Handout 1) A small wooden applicator stick was obtained a moistened at the tip with water from the petri dish labeled ‘water.’ This was to be able to attract the seed to the applicator in order to place the seed from its original container into

Native Plant Study- The area that Lake Doonella is located in has great vegetation and variety of native plants which gives the native animals and local residents a beautiful home as well as a lovely sight for tourists. There are numerous different plants in all different shapes and sizes that call this area home. Some plants even have berries growing on them in many different colours for the animals to feed off. During the field walk there were many trees and plants but the most commonly viewable one was the Scribbly gum. ( shown in .. (ref off iBooks)

The purpose of this experiment is to observe the effects of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on the germination rate of Wisconsin Fast Plants.

The results observed do not correspond with the outcome predicted by the hypothesis. Despite the nature of the subjects of the experiments, no substantial growth was observed. Only one seed of the 36 planted germinated, and it could only survive for a period of a week. The one seed that germinated reach a height of 1.2 cm. Table 1 presents the average growth observed in each quad. Each quad had a total of 12 seeds. No seeds were removed during the course of the experiment.

1. (a) The algal bloomed in the pond because there was most likely too much fertilizer applied to the lawn. When it rained, some of it

Firstly, for the setup of the experiment, two styrofoam cups were filled with two inches worth of standard, fertilized garden soil, next four seeds from from the garden seed, and the bird seed were placed an inch deep in separate cups. The seeds were blindly labeled, with one being labeled group A and one being labeled group B. This was so as to efficiently conduct a double blind experiment. The seeds were watered with approximately a teaspoon of water per day, and kept in a sunny windowsill. They were left in the windowsill for two weeks, and watered daily.

Throughout this experiment, we 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 it need to grow. (1) These plants are a good model system to study because they grew very quickly and didn’t need a lot of resources to grow making them the perfect plant to use for studies. (4) By using the fertilizers,

milkweed within its body and by eating the leaf in a circle it stops the thick liquid inside from coming out and overwhelming it.

METHODS/PROCEDURES: In the beginning of the experiment, pea seeds were used in order to perform the experiment. It was extremely important to acquire good, dry, and viable seeds so the process of germination could occur. A handful of these healthy seeds worked best in assisting the experiment. The seeds ability to germinate was a vital information needed to determine the outcome of the experiment.

Using the National Environment Agency website, 2016, the tide information was noted and dates with tides of 0.5m or less are chosen to survey the locations. Low tides are ideal as there will be a higher chance of seeing T. gigas at the shore.

The water is a Chinese tea color. The fish seems lively. The cricket is the last survivor of the terrestrial environment. There is much mold on the plant yet there seems to be growth.

The seminar presented by Dr. William Gerwick was also funded by N.I.H as they also shared a mutual interest into the findings of “Drugs in the Sea’. The funds they had available was strictly allocated for that purpose. Furthermore, you will see the vast amount of research that was done in sea organisms.

Secondary or primary metabolites produced by these organisms may be potential bioactive compounds of interest in the food and neutraceutical industries. The worldwide demand is growing for seaweeds as useful resource for food ingredients and processed foods [22, 23]. Therefore, algae can be a very interesting natural source of new compounds with biological activities that could be used as functional ingredients. E. cava, a kind of brown alga (Laminariaceae) that is found abundantly in the sub tidal regions of Jeju Island, Korea and Japan [24]. It is plentifully produced Jeju Island of Korea for commercial purposes. This brown seaweed is popular in Korea and Japan as a food ingredient, supplement of animal feed and fertilizers [25]. In addition, increasing number of scientific papers published for last few years highlighting that various biological activities and their possible industrial applications of the brown seaweed E. cava.
