Purpose The purpose of this project is to expose radish seeds to various soils to determine which soil is most appropriate for growth. WHICH SOIL IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR GROWING RADISH SEEDS? • Limitations • A larger variety of soils could have been used. • Plants could not be kept at a constant temperature. Hypothesis I feel that radish seeds will grow best in potting soil, and they will grow least in sand. • Results • It was found that: • SandThe radish seeds grew 10.3 centimeters. • Potting SoilThe radish seeds grew 6 cm. • Cactus SoilThe radish seeds grew 10.5 cm. • Top SoilThe radish seeds grew 9.2 cm. • Procedure • I obtained 4 different types of soils (potting, top, cactus, sand) and some radish seeds. • I put each type of soils in a different pot and planted radish seeds in each • I took pictures of each pot initially and every seven (7) days for three (3) weeks. • I monitored the growth every three (3) days. • The growth rate and results were recorded. • All materials were assembled for display on project board. Conclusions It has been proven that radish seeds grow best in cactus soil and grow least in potting soil. Consequently, my hypothesis proved to be incorrect. Potting soil is not the best soil for growing radish seeds. Cactus soil is most appropriate for growing radish seeds. Material • 1. Potting soil • 2. Cactus soil • 3. Sand • 4.
