the water is 38 degrees c, then the growth of the plant will increase. This science fair project is to test whether or not the temperature of the water you water the plant with will affect the growth of the plant. This project is interesting because the way plants grow is an interesting study. In this project i hope to achieve an answer on whether or not a plant’s temperature of water should be a certain temperature to help the growth of the plant. The radish (Raphanus raphanistrum subsp.…

Background information Plants need nutrients to survive. These nutrients can include nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur and iron. The plant absorbs these nutrients through the roots from the soil. These thing aren’t the only things plants need to survive though, they need things like water, sugar, and salt. The roots can allow many different things to pass into the plant. It selects many things such as nitrogen, water, and calcium. There are many ways that the plant can get its…

Animals and plants react in similar manners when they are faced with their own demise. When we think of communication we often neglect to include plants. Plants have a complex communication system however, it may differ from what you thought. Plants secrete chemicals that serve as their cry for help when being pursued by animals. These alarms attract both large predatory insects such as dragon flies, and tiny parasitic insects, which can destroy the caterpillar from within. Plants have many…

Atomic Bloomz is said to be the most advanced nutrient for plants in the market as described in their website. I learned from experience that the nutrients needed by plants that they get from the soil is not enough to make them grow healthy that is why there is a need for fertilizers to support the plants’ needs for growing healthy which is manifested…

Container gardening is becoming more popular nowadays. Many people, who want to have a “green corner” in their home, grow plants in containers. Green plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, so this is a great opportunity not only to decorate your home, but also to improve the condition the air. In addition, green color is good for the nervous system and has a calming effect. How to start сontainer garden? First, you need to decide, where you want it to be. It can be a porch, a backyard…

is a free- floating aquatic plant from the duckweed family, that consists of small, individual thalli (Tkalec et.al, 2001). Lemna are small, fast growing plants and they develop dense mats on ponds, especially when enough light and nutrients are available (Gérard et.al, 2014). Salt is the most toxic substance, as it causes an inhibition of plant growth and a decrease in nutrient uptake (Chang et.al, 2012). Salt stress induces the production of abscisic acid (ABA), a plant stress hormone, which…

grapes, such as parasitic fungi and environmental bacteria (Barata et al. 2012). Similar to other plants grapes also have to deal with the two major microbial, fungi and bacteria. These microorganisms play a major role in grape's ecology. Fungi and bacteria can help grape plants however, it can be pathogenic and can cause diseases. Grapes can be attacked…

darkness, which was demonstrated in this experiment. In the data table under seeds that grow in darkness had an average height of 1.85 centimeters, whereas for seeds in light average height is 0.45 centimeters, substantiating the claim that the pea plants in dark have a higher success rate than those in the light. The seeds in the darkness, sprouted earlier than those in the light. Seeds in the dark started sprouting on day 1 of the experiment. Seeds in light, started sprouting on day 4, giving…

that encompasses the entirety of human’s cultural interaction with plants and agriculture. Throughout his writing and especially early on, Pollan often uses the word ‘coevolution’ in response to the human interaction with certain staple plants that have a long detailed history with humans. This ‘coevolution’ idea roughly refers to the idea that the evolution of human culture is deeply tied the evolution of our interactions with plants, and at a certain point Pollan refers to one of Charles…

to these factor they too are unable to recycle nutrients. Epiphytic plants are plants which are growing harmlessly on other plants. These habitats are often found in the canopies of rain forest and lack nutrients due to the absence of soils. The plants which living these environment have evolved carnivory as a way of…
