Do Fertilizers Extend Plant Life during Drought, and if so, What Types of Fertilizers Extend Plant Life during Drought?

CSEF · 2015 Plant Biology

Karunya Krishnan, Ishanee Mitra · Delphi Academy, Campbell, Santa Clara County

Overview

Objectives/Goals We want to see if fertilizers can help a plant live longer during drought and if it can live longer during drought, we want to find out why. Methods/Materials Pea plants, Ironite fertilizer, Kellogg fertilizer, Alaska fertilizer, Hyponex fertilizer Results We found out that Ironite works the best. Alaska can work but is not very reliable.Hyponex and Kellogg didn't sprout. Conclusions/Discussion Ironite worked the best as its job was to replenish the soil with nutrients. Hyponex was a lawn fertilizer which is used to make soils stiff.

Summary statement

Our project is about finding a fertilizer which can help a plant live longer during a drought.

Help received
