Radish Research Paper

The Radish seeds were planted in a pot, which contained soil from the garden and cow manure. The Radish was placed in an area similar to the black bean plant and watered daily. According to Yates Expert (n.d., para. 3) radish plants like moist soil and by watering the plant in the evening this helped stop the soil from being dried out from the summer weather.
By day eight the radish plant had germinated with more than one seed breaking through the soil. However, regular observations showed that the plant was taking a turn for the worse and by day 23 it had been observed that many of the leaves looked eaten. To help the plant continue to grow successful, a bug spray was applied to the radish plant, which had a strong garlic smell. The bug spray
was used four times a week and sprayed on the leaves and stem of the plant after the plant was watered. Due to the harsh weather conditions in Perth, it was hard to determine if the weather was also impacting the growth of the radish, but it was decided that the plant would remain out of the direct sunlight (Burt, 2015, p. 1).
By continuing to maintain the radish plant, it was able to grow well. The insect spray was observed to be working, as there was less sign of holes in the leaves. By day 41 the stems were tall with leaves becoming longer and thicker. A new red string was also observed at the bottom of the stem near the soil. By taking images, drawing pictures and measuring the plant, the recording of the growth of the radish was documented accordantly allowing the inquiry to be investigated with progress being present.
