Effects of Soil Type on Corn Growth

Easy Research Summaries Experimental Design

A research experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different soil types on the growth rate of corn plants. Researchers set up four different plots, each containing a different soil type: sandy, clay, loamy, and potting soil. After planting the seeds, they monitored the plants' height over a period of six weeks.

The height of the corn plants was measured weekly, and the data was recorded. At the end of the six weeks, the researchers compared the average heights of the plants from each soil type to determine which type facilitated the most growth.
