In plant growth, many factors take place for the plant to grow effectively such as: temperature, nourishment, and sunlight. In order for plants to grow at a steady pace they require stable lighting, stable temperature, and daily nutrients in order to grow properly. My fellow colleagues and I are testing whether or not Osmocote fertilizer treatment will have an outstanding effect on growth of the mung bean seeds. A fertilizer is a substance that is added to the soil to increase fertility. The osmocote fertilizer is a chemical which helps plants grow better and faster due to the nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium in its fertilizer. The osmocote fertilizer is a necessity to extend the life of plants because of its high percentage of trace elements (Zekri
- On 7/22/15 two large sized planting pots were used to place the miracle-grow potting soil. We scooped the pot into the potting mix and filled it to the middle of the pot. After placing the potting soil inside the two large pots, my colleagues and I dug into the plotting mix using a writing utensil in order to place the mung beans inside. WE place a total of 20 mung bean seeds into the soil of each pot. After filling each hole with the seeds we covered the hole once again with potting soil. We later labeled one pot with experimental and the other pot control. The pot labeled experimental we scattered 30 beads of fertilizer on top of the soil. After we finished placing the fertilizer beads on top of the soil we watered both pots with water.
Protocol for taking care of plants.- The protocol for taking care of plants were that they were placed in an incubator where the light and temperature were controlled and stabilized. The plants were watered once every day at a reasonable hour. Other than the need of the fertilizer we did not require any other special material for the experimental pot. The steps I have to ensure is that the plants have stable temperature, stable light, and daily
The fair testing will be carefully checked so the results do not come out to be void. The light intensity will be changed for it is the only variable used in the experiment. Though the temperature, watt of the bulb, amount of water, size of the plant and posit...
After the addition of the media, we insert an aeration tube inside and cover the lid with a cotton plug and start giving them aeration. This preparation has to be put on for 3 days under proper sunlight and 25-30 degree Celsius to observe if the culture is healthy/ potent or not depending on the color each culture portrays (The nanochloropsis culture should have a grass-green color to be seen as potent and the isochrysis culture should have a dark brown color to be seen as potent), if the colors seem dull and light, then that might mean that the culture is impotent.

Each Biology 108 section planted these pots and the data from every section was to be combined for an overall data sheet. Our group in section 6 had the role of planting 5 of the experimental pots with the assigned number of wheat seeds or mustard seeds or both.
the effect light has on the growth of pea plants. It will take place in an environment with controlled light, with equal amounts of plants being grown in the light and in the dark. All elements of the experiment other than light will be kept the same, such as amount of seeds in each pot, amount of soil in each pot and amount of water given to each plant each day. This will ensure a fair experiment. Prediction: I predict that in general, the plants grown in the light will grow better than those grown in the dark.
Materials used in the experiment included 5-7 g of the potato tissue, 50ml of 2.0M phosphate buffer coffee filter and guaiacol dye.
My group, fertilizer group 3, is testing the variables of plant color and number of leaves. Fertilizer can affect that drastically! Those two variables are basically what determine a healthy plant. Fertilizer can help to boost the minerals in the soil and give the plant what it needs to survive and be healthy.
Two members of the group were instructed to visit the laboratory each day of the experiment to water and measure the plants (Handout 1). The measurements that were preformed were to be precise and accurate by the group by organizing a standardized way to measure the plants. The plants were measured from the level of the soil, which was flat throughout all the cups, to the tip of the apical meristems. The leaves were not considered. The watering of the plants took place nearly everyday, except for the times the lab was closed. Respective of cup label, the appropriate drop of solution was added to the plant, at the very tip of the apical meristems.
I prepared two large test tubes, each should have an inch of KOH pellets on the bottom of the tube. Next, a cotton ball is placed in each of the two test tubes above the KOH to plug the tube. Now one tube is filled to the top with peas, the peas are then removed and weighed to the nearest.1 grams, this is the experimental tube. The control tube is filled with plastic balls to the same height as the experimental tube. Next, a rubber stopper with attached capillary tubing is inserted in each test tube.
We used wheatgrass were 40 wheatgrass seeds, two empty pots, soil, and water. We first added soil for both pots and 20 wheatgrass seeds in each pot. My partner and I decided that we label pot one experiment which is “sugar and water” and pot two control which is “water” only. The experiment was for almost four weeks we had to make sure both get the same room temperature and water, so we can see the results after this amount of time. Both pots had same room temperature so both can have the same amount of sunlight also, the same amount of water which is a glass of water from the sink once a week. In the experiment pot we added a glass of water with one teaspoon of sugar and the control pot glass of water. Every week we used to see both pots grow almost the same. At the end of the experiment, my partner and I measured the length for both plants and we recorded the average for each plant, so we can know the rate of growth
You will want to spread them out so that they are not too close. You also want to gather three types of water and set up a schedule for when you are going to water your seeds and check for root growth. If you are going to use a solution that changes every day make sure to keep a bottle of the solution you choose that same day so the concentrations are the same all the time. You want the plants to be moist at all times so you must keep a lid over them or you can use plastic wrap. When you have set up the experiment make sure to check the seeds regularly and record when the seeds start to sprout and how much they have grown.
Every student in a lab section planted eight seeds, two in each cell in a quad, to make sure that we had at least one plant for each week for 4 weeks. After planting the seeds we put the plants on a water mat tray to make
Then, mark one cup with B, this is the control group. Next, poke two holes at the bottom of each cup for drainage. After this, fill both the A cup with two hundred and fifty milliliters of miracle grow soil. Then, fill the B cup, the control group, with two hundred and fifty milliliters of miracle grow soil. After both the A and the B cups are filled, the radish seeds must be placed in each cup. To do this, make two indents in the dirt of each cup about half an inch deep in which the seeds are to be placed. Next, plant two seedlings in both cups to insure one sprouts. Then cover both holes. After this, be sure to place both in direct
Fertilizers are essential to modern industrial agriculture. Two of the most important plant nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitric acid, phosphoric acid, ...
Nutrients influence plant growth by providing them with the essential support they need for growth. For major plant growth, the nutrients needed are potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. All this impact plant growth through; leaf coloration, produce production, a creation of photosynthesis and to produce healthy plants. In a pea plant, these factors are expected from these nutrients by having healthy leaves and stems, edible produce and strong, substantial vine growth.
