Radish Plant Experiment

924 Words4 Pages

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the amount of topsoil would influence the growth of radish plants. It was hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increased by 50% would increase because topsoil contains the essential nutrients which are required for proper plant growth. The principle findings indicated that a medium amount of topsoil is ideal for plant growth as the radish plant potted in 50 ml of topsoil experienced the most growth in comparison to the radish plants potted either in 25 ml or 200 ml of topsoil. Introduction: A healthy layer of topsoil comprises of a mixture of clay, sand, silt, and humus that supply the plants with vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other necessary …show more content…

The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018). Also, the poor drainage of water could have slowed growth as a seed had germinated in the control after the bottom hole was made bigger on the 7th day, therefore radishes could be planted by farmers in mainly sandy loam soil as it ensures proper drainage of water and promotes plant growth. Overall, the commercial …show more content…

Based on these results, it is hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increases by 25% then plant growth increases because topsoil contains essential nutrients required for proper plant

    In addition, the average height of the seed, with pure water, after 8 days, was 8.9 centimeters whereas the average height of the seeds with 4% of “Miracle Gro” was 0.3 centimeters. The difference there is a whopping 8.6 centimeters. Not only that, but the seeds have a coating and when it separates from the seed that signals that the seed is beginning to germinate. After the 8 days, the seeds with only water were all separated from their covering, while the 4% solution only had 2 beginning to peel. Finally, we concluded that because of osmosis, the seeds with more “Miracle Gro” were bound to grow the least.

    Professor Milica Radisica and her team from University of Toronto have developed a tissue scaffold that allows sheets of cardiomyocytes or heart cells to attach together in a similar fashion as velcro. This innovation is biocompatible which means that it can function with living systems such as tissue without causing any harm. This “Tissue Velcro” can be the next step in creating artificial tissues that can instantly replace damaged tissues. While some tissues such as bone, epithelial, and fibrous connective can already regenerate easily other tissues such as the cardiac muscle restore at a much slower pace. Silica Radisica and her team believe that tissue velcro can be the next best thing in imitating different tissue structures.
