Evaluating the Effects of the Retention Properties of Charcoal on Plant Growth
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Vancouver Island | | City: | Duncan, BC | | School: | Frances Kelsey Secondary | | Abstract: | Last year's project was Soil Amending Properties of Charcoal. This year I tested these properties on vegetative growth in different environments. How would charcoal affect the growth of radishes in dry, wet, nutrient poor, and nutrient rich conditions? I designed a series of five experiments to test these conditions and quantified the modifying factor of charcoal in relation to water and nutrient retention. |
