My problem is what liquid fertilizer will increase the corns growth at a faster rate?.
I selected this project because I live in an area where agriculture is basically our.
main resource. Also I come from a family background where farming was very.
important, and later in I will be able to use this information. The purpose of my project is.
to gain information on different fertilizers and the effects of them when used on plants. .
What I did was plant the 16 seeds and waited till they all sprouted and then added the.
four different fertilizers to groups the groups of corn. Then I measured them and.
recorded the heights, and found that the fertilizer UAN-32 had the fastest rate. One.
thing I did wrong was i used too much fertilizer for each group and the plants were.
burred on the last measurement.
Background Information:.
Do you know what fertilizer enhances a corn's growth rate? Well, farmers need.
to know this in order for you to go to the supermarket and pick out your favorite.
vegetables. They could use some of the earliest fertilizers, such as: manners, plant and.
animal residues, ground bones, potash salts derived from wood ashes. Most likely they.
will use toadies modern technique like; liquid solutions, dry mixes. In my experiment I.
will be using four liquid fertilizers, Urea Ammonium Nitrate, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate,.
Ammonium Nitrate, and Urea Solution. Which are liquid solutions made up of Nitrogen. I.
will add the fertilizers to groups of 4 of Yellow, SH2 Superset corn. The definition of.
fertilizer is, any material conferring one or more of the essential nutrients that is added to.
the soil for the purpose of supplementing the plant when the soil has lost it's nutrients. .
Without fertilizers some crops wouldn't be able to grow healthy and there wouldn't be.
enough good quietly foods in the market. Also fertilizers help plants get a head start on.
growing by being healthy before the plant "sprouts" through the soil.
