- How does hours of daylight exposure affect the developmental growth of Yam Bean?
- How does light influence nutrient bioavailability absorption of the Yam Bean plant?
- How does light influence the ability of the Yam Bean plant as nitrogen-fixer?
- How does the growth of Yam Bean related with soil minerals and phytoavailability?
- How does light affect soil biology: nodules & rhizosphere activities/interactions?
Materials:
- Yam Bean seeds
- 5 pots (poke same number of holes at the bottom of the pot for drainage)
- 500ml recycle bottle (for watering)
- One type of soil texture (can fill in 5 pots, one portion keep for lab analysis (record GPS soil sample location taken can upload apps from smartphone)
- Two recycle empty transparent bottle glass jar for soil texture analysis (same size, smooth even surface).
- Two empty recycle tin can (same size), poke same number of holes at the bottom of the can.
- Three Recycle plastic container for air-dry soil.
- Four carton box size that can cover the pot and plant. Exclude light.
- Four twigs (about 50cm) for each pot and rubber bands/ropes. Form trellis.
1st Lab Analysis (Report submit online due 20th March 2018):
- Fill up the pot with soil. Pat the soil to compress the soil so that the level of soil does not shrink after watering.
- Divide the number of seeds equally for each pot and space the seeds when seed sowing.
- Top about 2cm thick of soil after seed are placed on the soil. Then water with same amount (500ml) for each pot.
- Soil Color Analysis.
- Soil Texture Analysis.
- Soil Moisture: weight 100gram of soil, record. Then air-dry soil. After 2 weeks, when soil has no more moisture, weight dried soil.
- Water the soil daily with the same amount.
- Light exposure will change on 26th March 2018. One pot keep for control.
Observation Record:
- Germination rate for each pot.
- Mortality/survival rate of the plant growth.
- How long does seeds start to sprout an emerge from the soil for each soil texture.
- Average growth of the plants (root, shoot and whole plant) for each soil texture.
- Number of nodules.
- Nutrient availability of each soil sample.
- Deficiency symptoms.
- Capture photos of plant growth development.
Daylight Hours and Growth Monitoring:
5th March - 9th April 2018 : All plants received same daylight hours.
From 9th April 2018 daily:
Pot A - No cover (control)
Pot B - 2 hours
Pot C- 4 hours
Pot D- 6 hours
Pot E- 8 hours
Pot A - No cover (control)
Pot B - 2 hours
Pot C- 4 hours
Pot D- 6 hours
Pot E- 8 hours
23rd April 2018 : Dug out carefully 2 plants (make sure roots intact) from each pot and measure the length of root, shoot and whole plant. Measure the wet weight of the whole plant. Then dry the plant, after plant dried completely. Measure plant dry weight.Count number of nodules.

23rd March 2018:
ReplyDeleteMeasure the soil moisture using the moisture meter before watering the plant and covering the plant.
Give same amount (ml) of water for each pot.
Measure soil pH too.
After that cover the plants.
Later after all covers are open with the last one 8 hours, measure all the pots soil moisture again.
What is the rate of water loss from the soil for each pot?
Discuss.
