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. |
