The Effect of Mycorrhizal Fungi, Fertilizer, and Water on the Growth on Mung Beans
This experiment determined the effect of the effect of the amount of mycorrhizal fungi, fertilizer, and water on the growth of mung beans. The data is used for deciding the best combination of materials to allow plants grow more in length. This is useful for farmers around the world, especially in third world countries who are trying to figure out new ways to increase the growth of their crops. A three-factor DOE was conducted to determine if these three factors are significant. The different levels of these three factors are randomized to complete DOE. For each factors, they were all given different amounts which would affect the output differently. It was determined that water was obviously the only factor that significantly affected the growth of the mung beans. Fertilizer had a negative impact on the growth of the plant, and while mycorrhizal fungi showed an increase in growth, it was not significant.
