We did two experiments involving nutrients and hormones. We planted two types of vegetables - a) lady's fingers and b) long beans. Experiment for vegetable a), we research on nutrient deficieny while for vegetable b) we researched on hormones affecting its stem elongation and branching.
d plants in d big red pots r long beans while d ones in d small pail r lady's fingers. me watering the long beans plants my coursemate taking down some data on d plant growth for lady's finger. me arranging d long beans plants 4 them to receive full sunlight me again tying different coloured strings 2 d long beans plants 4 easy recognition labelled the pots d lady's finger plants r planted through hydroponic way. 3 types of nutrient deficient, 1 with full nutrients as control & 1 devoid of all nutrients n filled only with piped water. 2 replicates each( means ten pails with two plants in each pail) All pails r added with antibiotics as well 2 prevent bacterial infection. 1 of d lady's fingers plant showing a nutrient deficiency symptom another deficiency symptom which causes the roots to rot early and disables water uptake by plant necrosis or burn symptoms also cause by a nutrient deficiency. this pail lacks of all nutrients as it contains only piped water & antibiotics. So d plant growth is retarded. d long beans plants have grown and branched alot after hormone was applied on the severed stems. there is a black millipede with yellow spots on its body at the edge of the pot a coursemate watering d ever-shooting-up long beans plants..hehhehe!!! can u guys spot d lady's finger fruit in d picture???????? ehhehe
The experiments is going to end soon something like next week. Just posting the pics for u guys to see so at least u know what I am talking about...hehhehe. Will keep updating as much as I can on my blog. Til then...Au revoir!
