Interpretation: Need to state a reason for the growth of a bean plant in sterilized soil.
Concept introduction: For the proper growth of a plant, certain factors need to be kept in minds such as the right temperature conditions, proper space for their growth, amount of nutrients, water, sunlight, and air.
Answer to Problem 102A
In sterilized soil, the growth of a bean plant is not proper as they require some nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, nitrogen, manganese, and nitrogen from the soil and sterilized soil may cause a nutrient imbalance.
Explanation of Solution
Sterilized soil uses up heat or chemical methods in order to kill pathogens or any seeds that are present in it. Sterilizing the soil can cause nutrient imbalance and also affects the growth of a plant.
A bean plant needs some nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, nitrogen, manganese, and nitrogen from the soil, if these nutrients are present in too little or in too less amounts, then it will affect the growth of bean plants.
