Introduction The bean beetle also known as the Callosobruchus maculatus, is an agricultural pest insect from Africa and Asia. That can be found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. The lifecycle of a bean beetles is quite short an adult been beetle lays their eggs on the external surface of a bean. The larva hatches from the egg burrows from the egg through the seed coat and into the bean endosperm without moving outside the protection of the egg.
Lima bean number 1 germinated but did not thrive. My plant was a yellow color with few leaves. Though my plant was very tall it was weak and could be broken easily. The plants in uv light were of a dark green color whereas my plant was yellow. In addition the leaves of my plant were very small.
They used charts, lists, pictures, data, predictions, and experiments to learn this information. This could be useful for many people who want to keep their plants
On day one no seeds germinated. By day two, seeds in the control group, 15% and 25% experimental groups had germinated. On day two the experimental group with 25% concentration of miracle gro’ had the most seeds
The Jumping Bean Beetles! The Jumping bean beetles experiment was done to study the oviposition in bean beetles, and whether it is based on the heritage of the bean beetle. The study consisted of two different types of beans and several mung raised bean beetles.
In 2011, mean daily growth rates in terms of differences of fork length (weight) from May 4 to June 3 were: 0.238 mm/day (0.046 g/day), 0.477 mm/day (0.109 g/day), and 0.436 mm/day (0.091 g/day) at the
The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018).
Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem “The Bean Eaters” utilizes imagery, repetition, and structure to explore themes of old age and financial struggle through the lense of an elderly couple. The imagery used in this poem helps to define the couple and the lives that they have led up until the point of time shown in the poem. “Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood, /Tin flatware.” (Line 3-4) suggests that their daily dining is done on the same dishes that have been used for several years.
3 ml of the fertilizer solution were administered to each pot. Then 4 of the plants were treated with 2 ml of a pH 5 solution and 3 different plants were treated with a pH of 8 solution. The remaining 3 plants were used a the control group. Every week the plants growth was measured by placing a ruler on the surface of the soil and recording the tallest point of the free standing plant. Once the measurements were recorded the plants were then treated with the same amount of pH solution.
Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.
The plants will be similar to each other in chromosome numbers. 2) They will be from similar organisms group. 3) The plant will receive the same amount of water designated for that week each day. 4) The time at which the plant is watered will be
This experiment will also show if fertilizers help a plant grow more than just soil found in nature. This experiment will not try to prove if chemical fertilizer is safe or not. The chemical fertilizer being used was randomly chosen and the compost will be made from scratch. There are positive and negative effects on the plant from using both these fertilizers. The best result will be determined through daily measurements and general observations of the appearance of the
The difference between 1.54% and 2.31% solute (sucrose) concentrations is very small, 0.63, compared to the difference between 0.00% to 1.54% solute (sucrose) concentrations. The mean height of the common wheat increases from 2.31% to 3.08% by 0.12.The mean height of the common wheat starts to decrease by 1.91 between 3.08% to 3.85% solute (sucrose) concentrations, getting closer to the decrease between 0.00% to 1.54% solute (sucrose) concentrations. The mean height of the common wheat tends to decrease steadily in the Graph 1.1 and it can be explained by osmosis. In the experiment there was concentrated (sucrose) solution added to the soil, which caused a low concentration outside the plant cell and made the water from the seeds (high concentration) to move to an area of lower concentration outside the plant cell. This made the common wheat seeds lose water, which is important in photosynthesis and growing, and therefore slowed down their
Applying the idea of learning in plant systems certainly makes for fascinating future ideas and research. The mimosa pudica in itself is enough to stimulate new testing with its unique capabilities and
Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
