It was also hypothesized that the mass of the plant and the amount of plants grown would decrease with more seeds, and I reject that hypothesis. From the class data table I found several numerical trends. The first one I found was that in pot 1, all the Zinna seed values were the highest compared to the other pots. I also noticed that if there was a higher amount of seeds in the pots, then their values were always higher than the ones with less seeds. While looking at the average mass per plant, I noticed that in each of the pots the numbers shrunk to smaller values.
The flowers on buckwheat have made the crop a good nectar source for honey bee keepers. Plant height and speed of maturity depend on planting date. If planted early in the summer, and given good fertility, plants will usually be at least one metre tall, and may take 11 to 12 weeks to mature. If planted in the latter part of summer, buckwheat will mature in about 9 to 10 weeks, and will be shorter, about 30 inches on good soils and 24 inches tall or less on poor soils. A hot, dry period during plant development will limit the size of the crop.
Ethan Peck Botany 11/10/09 “Vita-light verse Normal” {draw:frame} Figure 1. Average plant height for fast plants grown under two light treatments regular lighting and Vita light bulbs. My hypotheses for plant height was as follows: I belived that vita lite was going to be tremendously better than the normal lighting due to manufacture claims but as the evidence shows normal lighting did better. For reason I that could of went either way. {draw:frame} Figure 2.
Aside from the medical uses, nettles can be used to make hot beverages such as tea and delicious nettle soup [1]. Due to these countless benefits of the nettle plant, this investigation is highly significant as it would be beneficial to producers, as they will know how to produce plants with bigger leaves and therefore acquire a bigger crop yield. This will ensure the production of a much larger number of products containing nettle leaf for the same cost. My theory
The reason why i think the plant growth light allowed the plant to grow much faster and fuller is because of the different types of wavelength of light generated by the light. The wavelengths that the plant growth light are different from the regular light because it produces wavelengths that the plant can use more efficiently. Plants use most of the wavelengths of light but only a certain few types of wavelengths allow the plant to operate at its full potential while doing photosynthesis. As technology improves so does the way we can grow plant more efficiently not only for home aquariums but for the masses of people around the world by growing corn and other foods faster so we can meet the demands from
Plant Growth Investigation The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The question I was attempting to answer was; what are the effects of different types of water on the growth of grass? My hypothesis was if we water the grass seeds with bottled, tap, and salt water, then the seeds getting the bottled water will grow the best and be the tallest at the end of the experiment because the bottled water doesn’t have the toxins that the salt and tap water will have. We needed a lot of materials to conduct our experiment they were; • 6 Seven ounce cups • Soil • Seeds (20 per cup) • The 3 types of water (Salt, Bottled, Tap) • Graduated Cylinder • Ruler • Pencils • Sharpie • Our chart/packet Our procedure was to first gather all of the materials we needed. We first labeled each cup with what type of water we were going to use.
You'll also find it in processed foods ranging from salad dressings and ketchup, to jams, jellies, ice cream and many others - even bread. HFCS contains 14-percent fructose, much more than regular corn syrup. I'm concerned that it has disruptive effects on metabolism, because the body doesn't utilize fructose well, and humans have never before consumed it in such quantity.Of course, HFCS isn't solely to blame for the obesity epidemic. The AMA correctly pointed out that as consumption of HFCS rose, Americans were also consuming more calories (of all kinds) and becoming less active. All told, however, consumption of HFCS in the United States increased by more than 1,000 percent between 1970 and 1990, and a study published in the April 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that Americans over the age of two consume more than 300 calories daily from caloric sweeteners, one-sixth of their average daily calories.
1.0 Introduction: Xcellerate is a new concept of energy drink that will take the energy drink market by storm. Using lots of Vitamin B6 and B12 the drink is able to provide the same energy boost as a normal caffeine and sugar based drink, but is a much healthier alternative. The drink will be available in one flavour upon its initial launch in order to reduce the chance of brand dilution as well as easing manufacturing and distribution burdens. The brand will be priced in the medium to higher end price bracket in order to compete with premium brands and to avoid being associated with the low quality alternatives that compete solely on price. The main competitors in this segment for Xcellerate will be Red Bull, Monster Energy and Livita, however Red Bull’s dominance is easily identifiable with 5.6 million litres sold in 2011 (Marmet Sizes - Historic off trade volume - mn litres Malaysia, 2011).
Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to find out the impacts on ascorbic acid of high temperature, and length of time it is exposed to these temperature. I will use orange juice, which is high in ascorbic acid to investigate the experiment because it’s much easier and takes less time to do titration than using vegetables. I will use four significant figures because the accuracy of 10ml pipette is +-0.020. Materials and Equipment Solution Orange juice… I got this orange juice from the Warehouse in Blenheim on 4th of March, 2014 and experiment day was 18th of March,2014. I thought the time buying the juice for the experiment wouldn’t affect my result because I don’t have to calculate the original concentration of orange juice.
(2014) studied the relative profitability of cassava based mixed cropping system and reported that the cassava/cowpea enterprise had the highest net margins of ₦127,249.63/ha and ₦122,325.73/ha in Ogun and Oyo States respectively. In the same vein, Bamiro et al. 2012 revealed in their own study that the cassava/maize/vegetable production enterprise is the most profitable with net farm income of ₦36649.90/ha. Given the comparative advantage associated with the cassava-based crop mixtures which includes: higher gross returns per unit area of land, higher yield stability and less risk, better control of pests, diseases, weeds and erosion and most importantly the more efficient use of resources such as land and labour, farmers could maximize yield as well as profit (Ibeawuchi et al.
