Input:
● Mung beans (test subject)
● Three treatment groups:
Group1:Inorganic fertilizer (synthetic fertilizer)
Group2:Control(no ferilizer)
Group3:Organic fertilizer (compost food scraps)
● Materials:
Soil (consistent across all groups)
30-hole seedling tray
Measuring tape (to record stem height)
Water (for daily watering)
Green house environment (to control sunlight exposure)
Process:
[Link] of Organic fertilizer:
● Food scraps (fruits,vegetables)were composted for one week
[Link]:
● Mung beans were planted in a 30-hole tray, assigned to one of the three treatment
groups
● Each hole contained one seed covered with the respective soil type.
[Link] period
● Plants were placed in a no-roof
● Watering was done daily in the morning.
● Growth was monitored over four weeks.
[Link] & data collection:
● After four weeks, the height of each seedling was measured using measuring
tapes.
● Data was recorded and categorized by treatment group.
[Link] analysis
● ANOVA (two-tailed test) was used to determine significant differences among
the three groups.
Output:
QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON :
- Growth Results: Control group (no fertilizer): Highest average growth (~20.7 cm)
- Organic fertilizer group: Lower average growth (~11.03 cm)
- Inorganic fertilizer group: Lowest average growth (~11.17 cm)
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS :
- ANOVA test showed a significant difference between the groups (p-value < 0.00001).
- The control group outperformed both fertilizer-treated groups.
- The organic and inorganic groups had very close mean values, with inorganic slightly higher.
CONCLUSION:
- Fertilization (both organic and inorganic) did not enhance growth,
-Mung beans grew better without fertilizer
Explanation:
Input:
This experiment seeks to investigate how various forms of fertilizers affect the growth of
mung beans. The plant under scrutiny, mung beans, is divided into three treatment groups: Group
1 receives inorganic fertilizer (synthetic fertilizer), Group 2 is the control group with no fertilizer,
and Group 3 receives organic fertilizer derived from food scraps that have been composted. To
ensure that the fertilizer form is the only variable affecting the plant, all groups are planted in the
same type of soil, in the same kind of container, and subjected to the same watering regimen
(about 118 mL per day, applied at 4:00 PM). Measurements of growth (stem height) are taken to
see if there is any kind of significant difference between the groups. Additionally, the appearance
of the plants is used somewhat subjectively to assess whether one group looks healthier than the
others or not. The test runs under "real-world" conditions, with the plants maintained in a
greenhouse.
Process:
The experiment had a clear direction and a structured process to follow. It aimed to see
the impact of some fertilizers on the growth of the mung bean. The experiment started with an
organic fertilizer that was prepared by composting food scraps, such as fruits and vegetables, for
one week. After the organic fertilizer was prepared, seeds of the mung beans were planted in a
30-hole tray, with each hole containing one seed, with its respective soil treatment (organic
fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer, or no fertilizer at all). The next part of the experiment was to place
the tray in an open environment (no roof, so environmental conditions could get in), and take
care of it as it grew over the next four weeks.
Output:
This study aimed to see how different fertilizers affect the growth of mung beans.
Researchers divided the mung beans into three groups: one with no fertilizer, one with organic
fertilizer (like compost), and one with inorganic fertilizer (the kind you buy in stores). After four
weeks, they measured how tall the plants had grown. Surprisingly, the group with no fertilizer grew
the tallest, about 20.7 cm on average. The mung beans given organic and inorganic fertilizers grew
less, only about 11 cm on average. This means that in this experiment, fertilizer didn't really help the
mung beans grow more. In fact, they grew the most without it. This could be because of other things
like the soil they used although all of them are often watered by the plants, or the amount of sunlight
they received, but it might have had a bigger impact on their growth than the fertilizers.
