What type of fertilizers are more effective; organic or non organic?
If I use a non-organic fertilizer,then my plants will grow faster than with an organic fertilizer
20 banana peels(blended)(organic fertilizer)
miracle gro performance plant fertilizer(non-organic fertilizer)
2 plastic pots
6 cupsmiracle gro moisture control potting mix
30 marigold seeds
1.Gather Materials
2.fill the the pots with 1/4 of soil
3.put 5 marigold seeds for each pot
4.fill the rest of the three quarters of the pot with soil
5.attach my non-organic fertilizer to a water hose by twisting it on the tip of the hose
6. evenly spray a quarter of a cup of water in 3 pots daily
7. for the other 3, put a mixture of 3 blended bananas mixed with a quarter of a cup of water
8.I will do this daily until the end of the experiment
9. Observe and record data
10. Repeat for a total of 3 trials
Dependent variable-the rate of growth
independant variable-the type of fertilizer
Constant-the position of the plants,how much fertilizer I give them,the amount of soil,the amount of seeds,what type of fertilizer I give them,the amount of seeds
Control-how long the expiriment took
Here I have the pictures of my plants progress and the graph which shows the end result
In the end,the non-organic plants grew much faster than the organic ones
Conclusion
My problem statement was:What type of fertilizers are more effective; organic or non organic.My hypothesis was: If I use a non-organic fertilizer,then my plants will grow faster than with an organic fertilizer.In the end,my hypothesis was correct; the non-organic fertilizer worked much better than the organic fertilizer.I think I got this conclusion because non-organic fertilizers were engineered for growing plants at a quick rate,unlike the organic fertilizer I used, Banana peels.I also think it resulted this way because the organic fertilizers nutrient ratios are difficult to guarantee the quick growth of the plants
The purpose of the experiment was to see what would work better on plants:an organic or non-organic fertilizer.What type of fertilizers are more effective; organic or non organic?
2.My hypothesis was correct.The evidence to support this statement comes with my charts of the rate of growth
3.I got two pots per time and filled them 1⁄4 full of soil and then put 5 Marigold seeds in each,for the non-organic plants I used Miracle Gro Performance Plant Fertilizer,and always put exactly a quarter of a cup in each.For the organic fertilizer I put a mixture of 3 blended Banana peels with a quarter of a cup of water.
4.My major findings were that the non-organic fertilizer worked better than the organic fertilizer in how tall it was,but also how long it took to grow,in my opinion,a possible reason for this was that non-organic fertilizers were engineered specifically for quick growth of plants,unlike organic fertilizers.
5.These findings can be used in day to day life because now you know to use a non-organic fertilizer,which you can use to make flowers grow and put them in pots and use them as decor,or grow your own edible plants
