Germination of Mustard Seeds using Fertilisers 1. Abstract This study was done to look at the effects of fertilisers and identify which fertiliser produced the fastest results. Four types of fertilisers were used over a four-week period and the findings were that inorganic fertilisers enhanced seed germination rates. 2. Introduction Fertilisers are widely used in agricultural production because they contain essential compounds such as phosphorus‚ nitrogen and potassium that have been depleted

BIOLOGY GERMINATION EXPERIMENT INTRODUCTION: Germination is the resumption of growth of the embryo plant inside the seed. Requirements for germination: * proper temperature * the presence of adequate water * oxygen There are two types of cotyledons: the monocotyledons (“monocots”) and the dicotyledons (“dicots”). Monocots have one cotyledon. Rice and corn are monocots. Dicots have two cotyledons. Lentils‚ lima beans‚ and green beans are dicots.* Germination in Dicots 1

This lab tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors

During the Toxicity of Morton Salt on Radish Seeds experiment‚ we measured the levels of iodized Morton Salt to the growth rate of radish seeds. Each six packets had ten radish seeds with different level of iodized salt solution. The packet with no iodized salt solution grew the longest in a period of days‚ compared to the other packets that had iodized salt. Solutions 100% and 10% had no growth progress within the past five days. As for solutions 1%‚ .1%‚ and .01% grew‚ yet not as much nor fast

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination

Introduction Germination is the very beginning of the plant’s life; where it transitions from being an embryo in a seed to breaking out and becoming a little stem. There are many factors that affect the germination of seeds which include the PH level of the soil‚ the amount of water in its environment‚ the amount of ATP the seed can generate in order to grow‚ the temperature of the environment and the amount of sunlight the seed receives (Ghaderi-Far et al.‚ 2010). The purpose of this study was

Radish Seed Lab Report Problem: What caffeinated drink (monster‚ coffee‚ or green tea) will the radish seeds grow in the best form over a nine day period? Hypothesis: If the radish seeds put in the dish with the drink Monster‚ then the seeds will grow faster because of the amount of energy given to them. The amount of caffeine in Coffee is much greater than the amount in green tea and Monster‚ but neither coffee nor green tea contains any extra type of an energy booster like the Monster does.

about bean germination: * The time to germination will decrease if you soak the beans overnight * It may take 7-10 days for the beans to ‘sprout’ * Make sure the paper towels remain moist for the duration of your experiment | | | | | | | | | | Procedure 1. Think of 10-20 variables that may affect seed germination‚ recording them in Table 3. 2. From your list of variables in Table 3‚ select three to test. Form a hypothesis for why each affects seed germination. 1

The Effects of Temperature on Basil Germination Abstract: Successful germination depends on many different factors. The amount of moisture‚ the type of seed‚ the temperature of the room‚ and how long the seeds are left in the specific environment‚ these factors are the most common. This paper focuses on the temperature of the seeds‚ specifically basil seeds. Basil seeds were placed on a damp towel‚ in two seperate Petri dish‚ and one was put in a room‚ to adjust to the temperature‚ and the
