Title of Project

The Effect of Water pH on the First Week of Growth for Mung Beans.

Abstract

In this project, we analyzed the effect of pH level in water on growth of mung beans. In the experiment, a total of five groups of experiments were conducted simultaneously, using different pH values. The object in this experiment is mung beans and the research task was the effect of pH on the growth of mung bean.

Our group set the hypothesis is neutral water (around 6.5- 7.5pH) has no effect on mung beans during the first week of growth, while water with high pH (>7.5) or water with low pH (<6.5) will have a negative impact on the growth of mung bean. At the end of the experiment, the results we got are consistent with the hypothesis we set up. We believe that our experiment will serve as a reference for similar experiments.
