| Anne Ricci The Effect of pH on the Growth of Marigolds
Division: | Sciences de la terre et de l'environnement | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | York | Ville: | Markham, ON | École: | St. Patrick Catholic Elementary School | Sommaire: | 81 marigolds in 3 rows (control, fertilizer, limestone) of 9 pots were watered with solutions of pH 3-11. Germination, height and number of leaves were recorded for 6 weeks. Optimal growth occurred at pH 5-7. Fertilizer improved growth. Limestone improved growth in acid soils. Neither prevented the effect of abnormal pH. |
