The experiment was done to test how the amount of fresh water affect the growth of the wheat plant. Wheat is an important commercial crop grown in mostly all the parts of the world. There are many different products which are the product and by-product of the wheat plant. (Majsztrik et al.2017) So, if the yield of the wheat plant increases than it is going to benefit the farmers and also the consumers. The experiment was based on the hypothesis that, if the amount of water is decreased the height of the plant will also decrease. The results supported the hypothesis. So, we can say that if the amount of water the wheat grass gets during its growth is improved with the different techniques of irrigation, then the production of …show more content…
Materials and Methods
To perform this experiment we used two pots, wheat seeds, Centimeter measuring tape or ruler, labels(control and experimental) to identify different pots, water, misting bottle, compass used to know the specific direction, soil, wood sticks used for supporting the long leaves of wheat grass, and thread to fence the wheat grass. We took two pots and filled soil in each of them. Then we planted twelve seeds of wheat. During this process, the sowing distance (spacing) between the seeds must be present. The plants required careful supervision to ensure careful controlled variables. Therefore, we decided that one of us will take the plant home. To water the plant we used a misting bottle that was used to spray equal amount of water in both experimental and control group in starting days meaning the first day until the fourth day. After the fourth day, the control group was watered every day and experimental group every two days. Before the plants were watered the moisture content was determined by touching by fingers. (If the soil was moist than usual, meaning more water was present in the soil, the plant would not receive any additional watering. However, due to the perfect weather conditions, this was never required. The experiment was followed as planned). For optimal growth of both plants, they were kept in direct sunlight and were placed in the following direction, 110 degrees east. After one month, the plant 's height was
all treatments contain the same type of soil, are planted in the same size of pan, are exposed to the same amount of sunlight, and are maintained at the same temperature throughout the course of the experiment. ON THE TEST there will be a number of related questions about this section not just the question shown below.
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 hypothesis behind this experiment is that the Gibberellic acid has a positive growth effect on the plant and causes it grow larger in height.
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.
There are many ways to obtain seeds to grow flowers in the springtime, but not all seeds were created equal. Sunflower seeds, for example, can be bought at a garden store in a packet for $1.5 dollars per 6 gram packet, but they can also be found in bird seed for $3.53 dollars per 10 pounds. This experiment intends to find if the germination of a store bought packet of sunflower seeds matches the germination rate of sunflower seeds obtained from a bag of bird seed. While both seeds will germinate, it is believed that the bird seed will not be as robust in growth as the garden seed, due to the fact that the garden seed is made to be grown, while the bird seed is made for consumption.
Add three seeds to the potting mix and cover seeds with little remaining potting mix. After the addition of the potting mix, use a dropper filled with water and water each cell until water drips from the wick. Then place the quads on a watering tray under the fluorescent light bank. Each cell should have an equal distance from the light bank. Quads should be three inches below the fluorescent light; the light should also be left on all day. Make sure all wicks are in contact with the mat that sits on the watering tray. Also watch out for the watering system regularly throughout the experiment. After four to five days record plants in the quads, giving their phenotypes in a table for each cell removed all but the strongest plant.
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,
The low-density radish-collard mix pots contained four seeds of radishes and four seeds of collards. The high-density radish-collard pots contained 32 seeds of each species. While our group replicated this 3x2 design four times to total 24 posts, we incorporated the whole class data. Therefore, there were 16 replicates for each treatment. For each pot, we filled soil up until about one inch from the top. We placed the seeds in the pot and piled on around 2 or 3 cm of soil on top. In 3 species levels, seeds were spaced as evenly as possible. In the mixed species pot, the two species were alternated so that each one had the same access to space and nutrients at the other. For each pot, we wrote down our section number, group name, and the contents of the pot. Our group worked at the first bench in the greenhouse and also contained our pots that were spread out evenly in four rows. Our pots stayed in the greenhouse for about five weeks, captured as much sunlight as they could, and got their water source from sprinklers that automatically came on twice a
This experiment began on the first day of lab by planting 12 total seeds from the F1 generation in six individual cells. Potting soil was added until each cell was a little
The second step of the experiment was to soak the seeds in water overnight. This action was made to prepare the seeds for germination and making them more softer and less rigid. The seeds were placed in a bowl and were covered by tin foil. It was set up on the refrigerator to minimize any outside interference that may come to it. After a full night of absorbing the water, the seeds were ready to start the next stage.
Experimental Design--- The experiment was performed testing two independent variables, light and soil moisture. A constructed box was split into six equal sections, occurring one right after the next, and dividers with cutouts were placed in between each section. A tall divider was placed after the third section, separating half of the sections from each other. The experiment was designed to test both light and water moisture at the same to ensure that other temperature and air pressure would not become a
Then, we planted each seed in different types of compost such as paper, grass clippings, wood chips, and leaving one constant(without any compost). Then each day we watered the plants, took the pH, moisture level, and height we also counted the number of leaves. This gave us an accurate measurement of the growth in our plants. Our problem was that we wanted to find out what type of soil would help the plant improve development. My partner and I tested compost recipes in our soil instead to see if the plants would develop more efficiently vs. soil alone.
To perform the experiment, three of 6-in diameter plant pots with water holes, moist soil, round radish seeds, and 3.5 liters of water in total used every other day in 0.5 liters for 14 days, were used. On November 5th, round radish seeds were planted in three identical 6-in diameter pots with various distances between the seeds. The distance between seeds for each pots were ½ inches (1.27cm), 2 inches (5.08cm), and 3 inches ( 7.62cm). Seeds were planted 1 inch deep under the soil and were constantly watered every other day with 500 ml paper cup, which was just enough to moist soil. All the pots were constantly located under the direct sunlight. A picture was taken inconsistently to keep track of any conditions that could affect the outcome.
The independent variable of this experiment were the different types of the solutions used, while the dependent variable was the mass of the cucumber slices. The constants were, the amount of liquid used and the time the cucumbers were left in the solution. While the control was the cucumber left in the cup with no solution. The students made a hypothesis saying that they believe that the cucumber slices put into the salt solution would decrease in mass while the cucumber put in the distilled water would increase in mass. In the end, the results of the experiment supported the students
On my experiment I will planted different types of garden seeds ( which are different sizes ) at different depths, and with this in mind I will determine how the grow of each seed is affected.
