Sci. Proj. Hypothesis: I greatly think that variations of fertilizer will not make any difference in plant growth.
I. Bibliography
a. Title:
Effect of Organic Fertilizers Application on Growth, Yield and Quality of Tomatoes in North Kordofan (sandy soil) western Sudan
b. Author(s):
Kh. H. M. Ibrahim
O.A.S. Fadni
c. Journal:
Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Vol. 3, April 2013

d. Source: http://www.gjournals.org/GJAS/GJAS%20Pdf/2013/April/Ibrahim%20and%20Fadni.pdf II. Main Idea
This article’s objective was to examine the effect physical, chemical and nutritional properties of the soil and increasing crops yield. Five treatments were used in this experiment. Results showed that organic fertilizers positively affected physical growth, nutrition, and yield.
III. Supporting Details
a. Results showed that tomato growth parameters in the first season (2009) were significantly, influenced by different organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers have a clear impact on the different stages of plant growth (physical).
b. Added organic fertilizers increased the proportion of organic carbon in the soil surface, this showed an increase of organic matter, which has a significant impact in plant nutrition.
c. Data represents the yield parameters in the first season (2009/10). All parameters measured gave highly significant differences among treatments. Tomato yield was positively affected by organic fertilizers application.
IV. Analysis of Article
a. Despite being relative to my science project, this article was rather more complex and specific. I can see this article as my science project put into real life application and at a professional level. The goal of my science project is to see how different fertilizers will affect overall plant growth. The goal of this article was to demonstrate the effect of different organic fertilizers on growth, yield, and quality of tomatoes in the sandy soil of North Kordofan.
b. Strengths of this paper include

    B) One advantage to using inorganic commercial fertilizer is that the nutrients are immediately available to the plants because they are purposely put in there to do so. Some other advantages are that it’s easily obtained, it speeds up the growing process, and you have a specific nutrient analysis. One disadvantage is it is more expensive and it is easily washed below the plants root systems from leeching of rain and irrigation. On top of that, other disadvantages are that is adds no humus or organic matter, it requires large amounts of energy for production, and over application could cause harm to the plant.…

    First, this question must have originated through observation. I have noticed that my neighbor’s plants are producing much more fruit than mine, and I wondered why. Upon investigating, I discovered that one of the only differences in our gardening techniques is the use of different fertilizers. All other factors are the same. Our soil, weather conditions and daylight do not vary. Therefore, it is my hypothesis, or educated guess, that it is our fertilizers that are producing the difference in our crops. I predict, or foresee the outcome of my investigation to be that my neighbor’s use of K-gro brand fertilizer results in this abundance of tomatoes that is nearly twice that of my plants.…

    How Does Posphorus Affect The Growth Of Tomato Plants

    Tomatoes being a very sensitive plant require these nutrients more and as a result using compost helps them gain those nutrients. The nitrogen in the compost which will be absorbed helps plants grow quickly whilst also allowing the leaves to stay green. Nitrogen also aids in photosynthesis as it helps with the green pigment, chlorophyll. Phosphorus encourages the growth of roots, and helps with the growth of the plant. Potassium also assists in photosynthesis, the fruit quality, the building of protein, and the reduction of disease. Therefore since all those nutrients are present in the compost, the tomatoes which were grown in the compost based soil were provided with these nutrients and as a result produced more yield and had a greater change in height. However since the tomatoes that was grown in the normal based soil did not contain these nutrients they were not given the necessary boost and thus caused the yield to be less and the height to grow relatively…

    Peanut Shell Fertilizer

    Plants need a delicate balance of nutrients in the soil to thrive. When a soil is deficient in any one of the nutrients, soil amending is necessary. Organic materials, or compost, added to soil before planting gives the soil the boost in nutrients plants depend upon to grow. Fertilizers added later help maintain the nutrients as the plants use them. Various organic fertilizers enhance the soil, including manure, blood meal and wood ash. Other organic materials, such as peanut shells, have few beneficial minerals plants can absorb and are best use as a protective covering.…

    Utilization of Different Varieties of Dried Leaves into Organic Fertilizer using Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) as Agents for Fast Decomposition

    Since ancient times, farmers have known that adding certain substances to the soil helps produce healthier, more abundant crops; such a substance is called fertilizer. The researchers decided to make an organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are made up of organic materials such as leaves decay, they produce an excellent fertilizer. Fertilizers are also often by-products of some manufacturing process. Some organic fertilizers are waste products of living organisms. They also supply food for beneficial bacteria in the soil and improve the condition of the soil. They act more slowly than chemical fertilizers and are less likely to damage seeds and young plants. This information is adapted from “The New Book of Knowledge” Encyclopedia.…

    Green Revolution

    With the rapid growth of the population on the earth, something had to be done. The Green Revolution occurred to help the problem. The Green Revolution is the great increase in production of food grains due to the introduction of high-yielding varieties, to the use of pesticides, and to better management techniques. (“Green Revolution”) About four decades after the Green Revolution helped produce food in great amounts, organic farming was employed in various places in the world to avoid the bad side affects of modern agriculture. Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control. Organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides but excludes the use of manufactured (synthetic) fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators such as hormones, livestock antibiotics, food additives, genetically modified organisms, human sewage sludge, and nanomaterials. (“Introduction to Organic Farming”) Although the Green Revolution and organic farming are both related in the field of agriculture, their differences will also be discussed in this essay.…

    Environmental degradation is a major threat confronting the world, and the rampant use of chemical fertilizers contributes largely to the deterioration of the environment through depletion of fossil fuels, generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and contamination of water resources. It leads to loss of soil fertility due to imbalanced use of fertilizers that has adversely impacted agricultural productivity and causes soil degradation. Now there is a growing realization that the adoption of ecological and sustainable farming practices can only reverse the declining trend in the global productivity and environment protection (Aveyard 1988, Wani and Lee 1992, Wani et al. 1995). On one hand tropical soils are deficient in all necessary plant nutrients and on the other hand large quantities of such nutrients contained in domestic wastes and agricultural byproducts are wasted. It is estimated that in cities and rural areas of India nearly 700 million t organic waste is generated annually which is either burned or land filled (Bhiday 1994). Such large quantities of organic wastes generated also pose a problem for safe disposal. Most of these organic residues are burned currently or used as land…
