| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Northern British Columbia | | City: | Charlie Lake, BC | | School: | Bert Bowes Jr Secondary | | Abstract: | Can pine needle decoction tell the health of the tree? Last year I learned pine needle decoctions kill bacteria. This year I tested decoctions from pine exposed to mountain pine beetle. I collected samples of healthy, stressed and dead trees. I tested decoctions pH level and ability to fight bacteria. |
