Does Radiation Affect Plant Growth?

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

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

Therefore, I was correct in my hypothesis that dark will have an effect on the germination of radish seeds. Also, I was very close in predicting that the seeds grown in the light will germinate twice as much as the seeds grown in the dark; the control seeds grew a little less than double the size of the experimental seeds. Ultimately, my experiment proved that light is a very important factor in the growth of any plant. However, I’ve learned that seeds grown in the dark will germinate, though slowly, as

According to a study, an experiment was done over the course of six years on the growth, needle, carbon, and nitrogen, chlorophyll, and

Results The results from this experiment show that the hypothesis was not supported. It was hypothesized that the Basil plants would grow the tallest in the soil with a pH value of 5. However, the Basil plants in the soil with a pH value of 5 did not grow at all. On the other hand, the Basil plants in the soil with a pH value of 7 grew the tallest.

Analysis of Results Throughout this experiment the Controlled group height is always ahead of the Experimental Group. Eventually the Controlled Group is more than triple the size of the Experimental Group. On day 35 the average plant height for the Experimental Group was 3.1667 centimeters and the Controlled Group with a 18.25 centimeters. In the Experimental Group, Cell 1 had a height of 3.5 centimeters, Cell 2 never grew, Cell 3 had a height of 7.0, and Cell 4 had a height of 8.0 centimeters.

In our experiment, plants were needed, so we started off by picking six radish plants that were about the same size and age. We did not plant them, and

The procedure to conduct the experiment, the effect of various powers of microwave radiation on the growth of grass plants is fairly simple. First, to perform this experiment, one must gather the necessary materials. These include 250 grass seeds, 25 paper cups, 3675 mL of soil, approximately 50 paper towels, microwave oven capable of being used at 100 Hz, 500 Hz and 900 Hz, one measuring cup(to measure materials), one liter of water, masking tape, sharpie marker, environment with ample sunlight and air, a ruler with centimeter markings, stove capable of heating up to 34°C, metal pot capable of holding up to 100 mL, thermometer, and a stopwatch (stopwatch application on a device will also work). Next, lay out the paper towels under the work environment. After that, place the

Solar radiation has become an expanding factor over the years caused by increased weather climates and in turn causes reductions of the ozone layer in the atmosphere [6]. Most researchers have been correlating this growing trend with agricultural vegetation success, damaging their vital tissues for

All of the plants involved in the experiment, Marigold, Squash, Radish, and Wisconsin Fast Plant, all were affected by the radiation from Cobalt, but some more than others. The plants all followed a similar trend, which was when the radiation amount would increase, the amount of growth would decrease. In the Marigold plant, the germination percentage for 0 KR started at 54.88%, but increased to 64.55% at 50 KR, before starting to drop it’s percentages lower as the KR amount went up. The squash plant had a continuous drop starting at 69.53% at 0 KR and dropping to 36.72% at 500 KR. The Radish plant started at 81.64% at 0 KR and dropped to 30.73% at 500 KR. The Wisconsin Fast Plant started at 85.16% at 0 KR and dropped a little bit to 64.71%

There was very little change in plant height in either the control groups or the experimental groups. The control group’s plants both died at seven week while the experimental group lived three weeks longer.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether or not microwave radiation affected grass seed growth. It was found that grass plants grew less (in height) when exposed to radiation. The hypothesis...was supported. As the radiation increased, the plant growth decreased. The null hypothesis was not supported. The results agree

5. Put plastic wrap over all pots until germination 6. Track growth every day for all 15 days. During this experiment all of the cat grass pots were measured every day for 15 days. I used a ruler to measure the growth of each plant. In the outcome of this experiment the regular water plant(s) grew the most, the one aspirin tablet plant(s) grew very little, and the 2 aspirin tablet plants didn’t grow hardly at all. I think this outcome happened because when I did research most of the experiments used very little amounts of medication in the plants. Also, the plants could have been over watered because the plants were watered with one and a half cup of water and aspirin added water every day. In my hypothesis, if aspirin water is added to growing cat grass, then the aspirin will make the cat grow faster because will speed up the growth process, this hypothesis does not support the data of this experiment. Since the regular water plants grew the most, that proves the hypothesis is incorrect. I think this experiment could be a benefit to society because if other students/teachers would ever want to do this experiment they can find out how aspirin does not help cat grass

All plants need these five basic elements to grow and thrive . They are sunlight, water, soil, and CO2, in this experiment, I will be changing 1 of the elements which is water to see the effects of the radiation on the pinto bean. This can determine the growth of the plant , the plant that I changed was Plant C. The plant can serve in warm or hot temperatures like 70 degree Fahrenheit or more. When started the project the temperature was 74 fahrenheit in the beginning I put the seeds in cups, because I did not have any pots. I filled it with 1 cup of potting dirt, and put the seeds in. After about 6 weeks later, I filled the potting dirt up again. It took about 8 days for all the seeds to

A plant is any of the boundless number of living beings within the biological kingdom Plantae, these species are considered of low motility since this species generally generate their own food by sunlight. They incorporate a large group of commonplace life forms including trees, forbs, bushes, grasses, vines, plants, and greeneries. In this task we are experimenting the relationship between light and plant growth by growing plants in three different lights which are red light, blue light and white light. As I stated above that plants generate their own food by sunlight. Sunlight can be broken up by a prism into respective colors of red, blue, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet and white. All this lights have specific
