Salinization shows the effects of salt levels in the soil. Salinization is a problem wherever irrigation is used in arid areas.
Procedure
1) The bag was labeled with the test solution, 4 grams,with the lab group number and the period.
2) Five seeds were placed on a paper towel. The towel was folded over and placed in the bag.
3) 4 grams of salt was weighed using a balance. 100mL of water was mixed with the salt and stir until salt was dissolved.
4) Then 20mL of salt solution was poured into the zip lock bag. The bag was sealed, leaving a small opening for exchange of gases, to avoid evaporation.
5) The seeds were checked daily for 5 days, while recording data in the table.
Conclusions
- I was not able to upload day 4 but the results showed that our beans grew the most rather than the beans with little salt. An overly salty soil could be remediated by Desalt Plus containing stabilized Calcium, Ammonium, Potassium which allow the salcontamination to be flushed away.
