Germination of Mustard Seeds using Fertilisers 1. Abstract This study was done to look at the effects of fertilisers and identify which fertiliser produced the fastest results. Four types of fertilisers were used over a four-week period and the findings were that inorganic fertilisers enhanced seed germination rates. 2. Introduction Fertilisers are widely used in agricultural production because they contain essential compounds such as phosphorus‚ nitrogen and potassium that have been depleted

Introduction This experiment is designed to test the allelopathy of two different treatments‚ Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) and Lemon (Citrus limon). The two treatments will be tested on radish seeds (Raphanus sativus) to investigate the effect of the treatments on the germination of the radish seeds. Allelopathy is the beneficial or harmful effects that one plant has on another plant by the release of chemicals. Allelopathy studies the interactions among plants‚ fungi‚ algae and bacteria with

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects.

Introduction Germination is the very beginning of the plant’s life; where it transitions from being an embryo in a seed to breaking out and becoming a little stem. There are many factors that affect the germination of seeds which include the PH level of the soil‚ the amount of water in its environment‚ the amount of ATP the seed can generate in order to grow‚ the temperature of the environment and the amount of sunlight the seed receives (Ghaderi-Far et al.‚ 2010). The purpose of this study was

The Effects of Temperature on Basil Germination Abstract: Successful germination depends on many different factors. The amount of moisture‚ the type of seed‚ the temperature of the room‚ and how long the seeds are left in the specific environment‚ these factors are the most common. This paper focuses on the temperature of the seeds‚ specifically basil seeds. Basil seeds were placed on a damp towel‚ in two seperate Petri dish‚ and one was put in a room‚ to adjust to the temperature‚ and the

on Seed Germination The reproductive cycle of a plant is a process of constant development. It begins with gamete formation‚ and after several other steps leads into germination. During germination a mature seeds beings the formation of a seedling (Freeman 2011). However‚ before germination the seed is in a state of dormancy‚ therefore the seed must have a favorable environment to disrupt the dormancy (Freeman 2011). There are several indications for the seed to being germination. All seeds require

Seeds require moisture to germinate. By presoaking a seed‚ it strips of the protective layer of the seed and speeds up the rate of germination. But the longer someone presoaks a seed‚ the greater the chance it has to rot. When presoaking seeds‚ one should avoid planting them in dry ground due to the risk of the moisture being taken out of the seeds instead of sticking with it to germinate‚ leaving the seed back to its original state. purpose - There are many factors that affect germination‚ however

about bean germination: * The time to germination will decrease if you soak the beans overnight * It may take 7-10 days for the beans to ‘sprout’ * Make sure the paper towels remain moist for the duration of your experiment | | | | | | | | | | Procedure 1. Think of 10-20 variables that may affect seed germination‚ recording them in Table 3. 2. From your list of variables in Table 3‚ select three to test. Form a hypothesis for why each affects seed germination. 1
