Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine the effects of IAA and IBA, two plant hormones, on growth in Laccaria bicolor, a fungus that is involved in mycorrhizal relationships with plan…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals Mycorrhizae is a natural fungus that increases the surface area of the roots. This makes hard-to-capture nutrients available to plants, allowing them to be bigger, and healt…

Plant Biology First Award
Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn what roles the coyote bush and its' visitors play in chaparral ecosystems during the fall. Methods/Materials Using insect nets, kill jars, and obse…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective of this experiment is to more precisely define the location of the gene for triforine sensitivity (Tr) based on the segregation of alleles in the F4 filial of…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology Second Award
Objectives/Goals The goal of this project is to find a natural and cost-effective method that does not use pesticides to control the spread of star thistle, genus Centaurea, a family of plan…

Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Whenever someone gets a tan or sunburn, regardless of where they are, they are being affected by ultraviolet rays. These rays do much more than color a person#s skin, though…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The intent of this project is to study the effects of antioxidant-rich foods (both type and amount) on plants' growth and health. I hypothesized that if soil is supplemented…

Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to determine the effect of water quality on the growth of vegetable plants, comparing lake water, tap water and distilled water. Methods/Mat…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My goal was to determine which organic mixings have the least compaction rate when mixed with water and soil and will help plants grow the best. I wanted to know the best wa…
CSEF · 2012
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals What technique can agricultural farmers use that is mildly safe and doesn't involve harmful chemicals and pesticides, to enhance their crops? This project demonstrates the e…
