Chemicals And Lack Of Soil Effect Growth, Development, And The Amount Of Nutrients Found In Brassica
For this experiment, Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica rapa) were grown using different techniques of modern agriculture. Three treatments were used. In Treatment A, the plants were given Miracle Gro® when planted. In Treatment B, the plants were exposed to diluted amounts of Meijer Brand Malathion Insect Control Concentrate twice a week and in Treatment C, the plants were grown hydroponically (without soil). After the fast plants had matured, tests were performed to determine if there was a difference in carbohydrate types, protein concentration, pigmentation, and absorption spectra. To determine carbohydrate types, a Benedict's test was performed to test for reducing sugars. A Barfoed's test was used to test for the presence of monosaccharides. A Selivanoff's test was used to determine whether aldoses or ketoses were present. A Bial's test was used to test for furanose rings. An iodine test for starch was performed for all plants as well. Pigment analysis was conducted......
