This report examined the effects of road salt in relation to growth and germination in the
Brassica rapa, a common turnup flower. The initial questions considered if the salt would actually
affect the growth. There were four groups of plants which were collected. The groups included a
control (0.00% sodium chloride), 0.25% sodium chloride, 1.00% sodium chloride, and 4.00% sodium
chloride. Data was collected from the length of the plant, color, length of nodes and number of flowers.
The experiment showed that sodium chloride (road salt) does in fact affect growth and germination in
plants.
