Radish Plants Lab
Purpose: In this experiment, the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting.
Background:
The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds, freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done, the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better observation of the roots, and for a quicker result (N.p., n.d Web. http://homeguides.sfgate.c om/germinate-paper-towels-22813.html).The brand of paper towel I am using is Bounty white paper towels. What makes this experiment unique is the solutions …show more content…
The reason I chose this plant type is because the radish plant is one of the fastest plants to germinate. When growing the seeds for the vegetable result, it takes 22 days for a full harvest. In soil they are to be placed ½ inch deep, with a seedling emerging in 4-6 days. ("Organic Seeds, Organic Fertilizer, Organic Gardening Supplies, Garden Tools & More!" Peaceful Valley Organic Radish Seeds, Cherry Belle - GrowOrganic.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 May 2017. ). After several weeks, a bright red radish is produced for consumption. The seeds themselves are relatively small, about .25 cm long. When observing the buds growing from the seed, I will look at both the roots and the stem. Since the seed will not be planted in soil, observing the seeds from all angles will not prove to be difficult. When growing, the seeds and the paper towel will be placed into a plastic bag and put in a warm place, not in the direct sunlight but also not in a place where it would be difficult for the seeds to germinate. The seeds will be checked on daily, and in several days there will be results that can be determined with length of stem, color of plant,
