Title
The effects of growing pepper plants in soil mixed with organic fertilizer (cow manure), inorganic fertilizer (muriate of potash) and unfertilized soil respectively.
OBJECTIVES:
• To observe which of the three plants grown under each condition will produce the most as well as the peppers at the end of an eight week period.
• To observe which of the three pepper plants will grow the tallest under each respective condition

Abstract
The aim of this research project was to observe the development of three pepper plants grown in pots containing soil which were mixed with organic, inorganic fertilizers as well soil that was unfertilized.
This project began with the purchasing of 6 pepper seedlings. After arriving from the plant shop, the seedlings were transplanted in three different pots containing muriate of potash (inorganic fertilizer), cow manure (organic fertilizer) and unfertilized soil respectively. After transplanting, the seedlings were watered and the heights of each seedling were measured and recorded. From then on the plants were watered every day and measured at the end of each week for an eight week period.
At the end of the eight week period each of the three plants had produced peppers and had grown to reasonable heights.
During the process of carrying out this project, extensive research was also done to get a hypothesis of what the outcome would have been. The researcher read numerous agricultural science books as well as explored the internet in search of information relating to her area of work.
Literature Review
A fertilizer can be any material, organic or inorganic, that supplies plants with the necessary nutrients for plant growth and optimum yield.
Organic fertilizers are

Bibliography: Pepper plants should be fertilized with either an organic (animal manure) or chemical fertilizers to produce high yields. This project began on the 11th November, 2011 with the purchasing and transplanting of the three pepper seedlings
