Plant morphology

for Grubs. Think you have Japanese beetles? Japanese beetles are easy to spot in the garden. They have a bronze back, metallic green head and are about 0.5” long. You’ll see them eating almost every plant in your yard, leaving behind skeletonized leaves.…

the surface. 4 groups were set up each containing 7 plants. The first group was a control group and was only exposed to distilled water. The second group was one time exposed to 0.5 millimolar of vanadium. The third group was one time exposed to 1.4 millimolar of vanadium. The fourth group was one time exposed to 2.2 millimolar of vanadium. Each group was watered with 30ml of distilled water every 3 days. The dates in which we watered the plants we also collected data. These dates were February…

Health Benefits of Spinach Spinach is a green leafy vegetable, from the Amaranthaceae family, with the scientific name spinacia oleraceae. The vegetable originated from the Southern and Central Asia. It is highly beneficial and has a lightly bitter taste. It is used in the making of several dishes. Spinach are edible and can be consumed raw or cooked. It is used in making salad, soup, stew, casserole, and other side dishes. Types of Spinach Basically, there are three types of spinach. But…

coriander, fennel, parsnip and parsley, which are all members of this family. The carrot originated in Asia. Initially the roots were long and thin, and either purple or yellow in colour. The plant is a biennial, i.e. it grows vegetative in the first season and produces seeding the second. For root production the plant is grown as an annual. Low temperatures, as well as various stress factors, will sometimes cause flower production to be initiated, particularly in certain selections of some…

NATURAL LONGEVITY OF TREE SEEDS. The period for which seed can remain viable without germinating is greatly affected by its quality at the time of collection, its treatment between collection and storage and the conditions in which it is stored. According to Harrington (1972) one of the two main factors influencing seed longevity is seed moisture content. Seeds are hygroscopic and their moisture contents come into equilibrium with those of the atmosphere. Nevertheless, seed longevity varies…

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) : is an edible flowering plant in the family Amarathacea native to central and western Asia. It is an annual plant (rarely biennial), which grows up to 30 cm tall. Spinach may survive over winter in temperate regions. The leaves are alternate, simple, ovate to triangular, and very variable in size from about 2–30 cm long and 1–15 cm broad, with larger leaves at the base of the plant and small leaves higher on the flowering stem. The flowers are inconspicuous,…

things will come out a lot smoother. Why trim Hedges: There are three big reasons to trim your hedges. First, repeated trimming trains the plants the same way your hair gets trained by being combed the same way over and over. Second, we improve the health of the plant by trimming off dead sections that can invite insects or disease into the rest of the plant. Third, believe it or not, trimming hedges actually encourages them to grow. When to trim: The best time to trim your hedges in the…

hypothesis is that the presence of broccoli will have a positive effect on germination of plant seeds. In my results, I saw that the hypothesis was in my favor because the stems of experimental groups were much longer then the stems of control group. Other works that have been done by scientist which relate to my experiment include Alleleopathy. Alleleopathy is “any direct or indirect harmful or beneficial effect of one plant… on another through prediction of chemical compounds that escape into…

Conclusions: In conclusion, sugar didn’t make the plants grow faster it made them grow slower. Although the plants with added sugar at the end started to grow faster, the heights for the 1 tsp of sugar plants doubled in size. I think this is because the plants needed to get used to the sugar and once they did it acted as a steroid and made them grow faster. I think to prove my hypothesis I needed more time to carry out the experiment to see if the sugar acted as a steroid or if in the end it…

will have the fastest growth. Following the blue light, red should show the second most efficient color for a plants growth. Therefore, the control light will be the least effective out of those three. This project was chosen because of interest of growth of plants inside instead of outside. The solutions to this experiment might help somebody who doesn’t have any outdoor space to plant. Materials and Method: 30 plastic cups, 5 red transparent folder dividers, 5 blue transparent folder…
