Overall Summary Report PADI HUMA TARAGANG (Click Here)
MATERIAL PREPARATIONS:
(1) 5 recycle plastic pots that can fit in about 5 litres of soil.
~ Make holes at the bottom of the pot for drainage.
(2) The team need to collect four type of soil (6 litres each).
~ Collect different type of soil texture such as clay, silt, loam and sandy.
~ 1 type of soil will be provided from Mengkabong Lagoon.
~ Collect different type of soil texture such as clay, silt, loam and sandy.
~ 1 type of soil will be provided from Mengkabong Lagoon.
(3) Conduct soil pH test and soil texture triangulation for soil texture type for the report.
~ Dry at least 500 gram of each of the soil.
~ Before air dry outside the lab, take the wet soil weight measurement for each soil.
~ Measure the dry soil weight after completely dried. Then keep dry for further analysis (nutrient and heavy metal).
(4) Provide the same amount of water for each watering session (tap water).
Example 500ml water for each pot.
Water twice a day, in the morning and afternoon during week days.
~ Before air dry outside the lab, take the wet soil weight measurement for each soil.
~ Measure the dry soil weight after completely dried. Then keep dry for further analysis (nutrient and heavy metal).
(4) Provide the same amount of water for each watering session (tap water).
Example 500ml water for each pot.
Water twice a day, in the morning and afternoon during week days.
(5) Ruler/measurement tape
~ to record the growth of the plant.
PROCEDURE:
(1) Air dry some of soil samples (about 500gram) for heavy metal and macronutrient analysis.
~ Before soil are dried outside of the lab, take the measurement of wet soil weight.
~ The week after if the soil is totally dried up, take the measurement of dry soil weight.
~ Keep soil dry until further analysis.
(2) Fill up the pot with soil and cover the seed with soil (2cm deep).
(3) For 1 pot sow 10 seeds each and space them apart from each other, so you can dig out several whole plants at 2 weeks old carefully out from the soil without disturbing other seedlings.
(4) After two weeks dig out 3 whole plant from each pot including the root carefully (number of plants depends on how many are growing, discuss with me later). Measure the length of the whole plant from root to shoot, root length and shoot length. Weigh the weight of the whole plant clean without soil after plant in dried state.Keep record.
Repeat for a month old plant.
(5) Analyse the nutrient and heavy metal content of the soil.
Repeat for a month old plant.
(5) Analyse the nutrient and heavy metal content of the soil.
OBSERVATION RECORD:
(1) Germination rate for each pot.
(2) How long does seeds start to sprout an emerge from the soil for each pot.
(3) Mortality/Survival rate of the plant growth.
(4) Growth of the plant of each soil samples for every week.
(5) Any deficiency symptoms such as yellowing of the leaves.
(6) Nutrient and heavy metal amount in the soil.
(7) Moisture content.
(8) Length of whole plant, root and shoot part separately at 2 weeks and a month old.
~ Wet and dry weight of whole plant without any soil attached.
(3) Mortality/Survival rate of the plant growth.
(4) Growth of the plant of each soil samples for every week.
(5) Any deficiency symptoms such as yellowing of the leaves.
(6) Nutrient and heavy metal amount in the soil.
(7) Moisture content.
(8) Length of whole plant, root and shoot part separately at 2 weeks and a month old.
~ Wet and dry weight of whole plant without any soil attached.
