Radish Plant Investigation
Results
The above results show the data collected after a week of measuring the biggest plant per bag. Each day the biggest radish plant in site A was measured and by day five the largest plant was 5 centimeters long, and had developed small green leaves. By the 5th day site B and D’s seeds showed no signs of growing and length remained at 0 centimeters. Site C and D’s superior seed both grew a total of 3 centimeters according to the 5th day measurements. Both the graph and table display the same results. The plants were measured with a ruler and then written into the table.
Conclusions
Site A is the control group because it is located farther up Nelson River than the other four test sites and the radish crops grew. Since the Salt storage

Plant growth showed that a leak in the Salt Storage Facility was the cause of the crop failure. So water quality was an issue, because of the high levels of salt concentration.
During the experiment, data was accurately measured and recorded. Though improvements could have been made that experiment was still a success. Location of the ziplock bag sites was moved from direct sunlight on a window to minimal sunlight on a wall. If location had stays the same throughout then the data may have been slightly different. Although this would only have a slight effect on data, movement of the seeds in the bag moved by fingers. That may have stunted the growth of the seeds, Causing them to grow little if at all.
In this experiment the independent variable was the type of water put onto the seeds. Being water from site A, site B, site C, site D, and site E. The dependent variable was the growth of the radish seeds. Site A was the control for this experiment. It was the control because the water the plants received was not affected by the salt storage facility leak. Site A was the site without any salt going into the radish crops. The constants in this experiment were the weather, amount of water, size of paper towel, zip lock bag, and type of

    Lastly, another two factor ANOVA analysis was performed in terms of the success (survival) of the plants in the interspecific setting. Table 6 displays the species P-value generated by the ANOVA was 0.021921, indicating there is a significant difference in the survival of radishes and collards in the interspecific setting. The density P-value, 1, is extremely large and shows there is no difference whether or not the plants are in a high density or low density area when in mixed-species pots. Finally, the interaction P-value was also higher than the α-level of 0.05, at 0.679457, again indication there is no relationship between the low and high densities versus the plants species. Graph 6 displays the survival of the mixed-species setting at both the low and high density settings.…

    The dependent variable is the Brassica Rapa and it is depending on the temperature. Before the experiment took place, all plants were in 22 degrees Celsius for three weeks to grow to the preferred maturity. They were then taken out and pollinated. After pollination the plants were set in separate temperatures to mature for another two weeks. After the two weeks were over, the plants were taken out of their temperatures and soil to determine maturity and productivity. To do so, the plants were weighed, the length was measured, the pods were counted, and the amounts of mature seeds were counted as…

    The results for the first fast plant grew taller by three centimeter or five centimeters each week. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. Because of the more fertilizer added to a plant the fast plant grew taller and grew more numbers of leafs. The results for the second fast plant were very similar. The height of the plant had increased by three centimeter to five centimeters. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. The last week…
