Which type of sugar (glucose or sucrose) can produce the most ethanol (greatest ethanol percent) through the fermentation and distillation of different food products (corn syrup, strawberry, molasses, corn, and soybeans)? The question for this experiment was which type of sugar (glucose or sucrose) can produce the most ethanol (greatest ethanol percent) through the fermentation and distillation of different food products (corn syrup, strawberry, molasses, corn, and…

Will grafted plants grow faster, produce more fruit, and be of better quality than original individual plants? Grafting is a common gardening technique that unites a scion (top of one plant) with a rootstock (the root of another plant). Often times people graft their plants in order to repair a broken or injured plant, to speed up the growth by giving it a…

How Does Peptide D4E1 Affect the Survival Rate of Soybean Cyst Nematodes? The purpose of this experiment was to determine the survival rate of Soybean Cyst Nematodes when exposed to peptide D4E1.The null hypothesis is that the peptide will have no effect on the survival rate. The simplified procedure includes extracting…

Will seeds in various solutions known to affect germination actually increase the percentage of seeds germinated? Seed germination begins with the rupturing of the seed coat and the emergence of the radicle, which will form the first roots of the seedling. Molybdenum is a catalyst for several enzymatic reactions in a cell, and potassium chloride is an essential…

What effect does temperature have on nutrients in Glycine max? This study was completed in order to evaluate the relationship between temperature and content of elements such as potassium, iron, and zinc. Soybean (Glycine max) seeds were grown at two temperatures, 25 and 32 degrees Celsius, and all other…

Can paper mill sludge (PMS) be used as a fertilizer for plants and does it change the pH of the substrate it was used in? Approximately 10 billion tons of PMS are produced annually by the paper industry and pose a major disposal problem for paper mills. One possible solution to the industry’s problem is the use of PMS as a fertilizer through land-spreading. When mixed…

What is the relationship between soil compaction affecting fertilizer runoff? The purpose of conducting this experiment was to learn more information about the problem of fertilizer runoff and its relation to soil compaction as well as exploring possible solutions to both of these issues. A variety of research has been done…

Is there a difference in the levels of peroxidase between the different strains of GMO (Liberty Link and Xtend) or non-GMO soybean seeds? This study tested which type of soybean has the most peroxidase between genetically modified soybean strains, Bayer Credenz 3841 LibertyLink Soybeans and Asgrow Roundup Ready 2 AG03X7, and conventional soybean seeds. The function of peroxidase found…

What is the effect of plastic pollution on soybean germination? With a growing population, humans are now using more resources than ever before. In using such a high quantity of resources, it is inevitable that we have more waste than ever before. Global plastic pollution has increased at a dramatic rate in the…

Do Soil Elements Affect Nodulation On Soybean Plants? This project studied the effects of Phosphorus, Potassium, and Nitrogen on the nodule growth on the root system of a soybean plant. The objective was to compare the nodule population on the roots. This was done while also testing the soil in each…

Will a 2 x 2 application of starter fertilizer have an impact on soybean yields and the quality of water drainage from the field? The objective was to compare the yield and protein and oil content of Glycine max planted with a 2 x 2 application of 10-34-00 starter fertilizer and without starter fertilizer, and to compare the quality of water discharge from field drainage tile…

Does the addition of L-glycine as a food source enhance the growth and development of soybean plants? Soybeans are a great source of protein, which are crucial for both the human and animal diet. Because of this, they are found in 80% of most foods in the United States. Chocolate, soy milk, protein bars, and tofu are just a few foods with soybeans…

What is the effect of exogenously applied l-tryptophan on the nodulation and overall development of soybeans grown in acidic soil? Acidic soil severely inhibits legume nodulation and devastates crop yields worldwide. Among the many phytohormones that regulate nodulation, indole-3-acetic acid is known to improve the nodulation and stress tolerance between specific legumes and…

Which type of water makes soybeans grow fastest? The purpose of the project is to determine which type of water makes soybeans grow the fastest when watering the plants with tap water, calcium water, and distilled water. The hypothesis states that the soybeans watered with calcium water will grow…
