SummaryThe experiment that was performed these past few weeks involved measuring the relative growth of a soybean plant that was planted based on how much allelopathic agent we used. Allelopathic interactions are very widespread in nature, and they are important factors in the mechanisms of the ecosystem. It generally involves the inhibition of growth of certain plant types. It is also used by humans in order to manipulate the growth of weeds and other plants. The plant that was used in the experiment was the Soybean plant. This fast-growing plant is known to be used in the food industry rather extensively.
Table of Contents
- Introduction
- The allelopathic agent that was used was Black Walnut. More specifically, Black Walnut produces a substance, toxic to some plants, called Juglone.
- The null hypothesis was that the allelopathic agent will have no affect on the growth of the Soybean plant
- Methods
- The experiment was set up by creating the necessary soil mixtures.
- They were each labeled according to whether they were control, and how much of the allelopathic agent was used in the soil mixture
