PURPOSE The purpose of my experiment is to determine the effect of acid rain on seed germination. I chose this idea for a project because I have heard that acid rain is becoming a more prominent factor‚ around the world‚ due to pollution. I see reports of this in books and websites I ’ve visited‚ as well as news articles I have read. LITERATURE REVIEW http://www.selah.k12.wa.us/soar/sciproj99/CodySciProj.html The germination test results from glass labeled “Trial 1” (100% water)‚ and “Trial

originates in East Africa and is the oldest of the commercial oil seeds. The oil is a clear edible oil with a pleasant taste and a very good long shelf life if properly refined. Sesame has an oil content of 48-55% which is the highest of any oil crop while the protein content ranges from 44 to 48%. Sesame seeds are either consumed directly as a highly nutritious foodstuff or processed by the confectionery and bakery industries. The seed hulls‚ which are bitter due to their oxalic content‚ can be removed

Some scientists believe that germinating radish seeds give off a chemical that interferes with the germination of other seeds. A few years ago‚ a group of scientists published a scientific paper that demonstrated that germinating radish seeds have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds. A year later‚ another group of botanists repeated the experiment. The second group claimed that the radish seedlings had no allelopathic effect upon lettuce seed germination or growth. Now it is your turn to determine

March 19th‚ 2013 Biology 1300/24 Tues & Thurs 6-9pm Introduction Seed germination and growth are influenced by many factors. Some of these are the environment‚ light quality and moisture availability. Other factors which may influence seed germination are a result of the environment surrounding the seed‚ like alleleopathy. In this experiment we are going to study the alleleopathy of garlic. Using the scientific method of inquiry‚ my

sandy loam soil is picked for this cased and them putting the fertilizer(natural ones). For planting the rambutan the ABC farm choose R5 variety to plant because of It produces big fruits that are intense red‚ hence attractive to customers. The white flesh is thick‚ sweet‚ smooth in texture and separates readily from its seed. The space between each plant is about 9 meters to a lot the plants to grow. The farm usually plant juvenile tree at around august to allow adequate moisture for the

Does the concentration of salt in the water‚ affects the germination of the seed? Purpose: To see if the salinity of the water affects the germination of the seed‚ before its put into the soil. Back Ground Information: Seed germination is the sprouting or growth of a seed into the start of a plant. When environmental factors such as moisture‚ temperature‚ oxygen‚ and sometimes light are appropriate‚ a viable seed will begin to germinate. Salinity (salt-affected) in plants can cause ionic

number of genus Helianthus (sunflower) seeds in pots to see how they respond to increased density in limited space. Two replicates each of 2‚ 4‚ 8‚ 16‚ 32‚ 64‚ and 128 seeds were planted in similar size pots containing an equal mix of potting soil and perlite. All plants were kept in greenhouse conditions exposed to similar light and temperatures settings and were watered at equivalent intervals. At the end of the time period each pot was evaluated for number of seeds that had germinated as well as number

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle length. Our data indicated that seed germination decreased as concentration increased‚ demonstrated

microwaves positively or adversely affect the growth of grass seeds? This experiment could shed light on the effects of radiation on living things. This information could be valuable not only to other scientist who could perform related experiments‚ but society as a whole as it could provide more information on the negative and or positive effects of radiation. While there is no clear consensus that microwaves will damage grass seeds‚ there are many studies that point towards that conclusion. First
