Investigating the Effects of Magnetic Forces on Plant Germination and Growth

CSEF · 2016 Plant Biology

Tomas D. Zumkeller · Quail Lake Environmental Charter School, Clovis, Fresno County

Overview

Objectives/Goals Determine if varying strengths of magnetic forces affect radish seed germination rate and growth. Methods/Materials Using 5 groups of test tubes, each contained radish seeds and varying strengths of magnets attached. Each test tube was monitored to determine if the magnetic force affected seed germination and plant growth. Results The evidence of this experiment determined that varying strengths of magnetic force did not affect seed germination rate. The evidence also demonstrated that exposure to varying degrees of magnetic force did not affect plant growth rate. Conclusions/Discussion This investigation could be beneficial in determining how if any magnetic forces from the earths natural soil could affect crop production in the farming industry,

Summary statement

I showed that varying strengths of magnetic force when applied to radish seeds does not affect their germination rate or growth rate.
