Factors Affecting Radish Growth
Carol Lynn Sul
High levels
Tap water (+1)
Miracle Grow (+1)
Potting soil (+1)
Low Levels
Distilled water (-1)
No Fertilizer (-1)
Dirt (-1)
Graphs (appendix V) of the normal probability plot of residuals for weight show there
are no obvious outliers. Also, residuals verses run confirms there is random scatter, and the
responses are independent.
The other significant model was for leaf size. This model had the highest adjusted
R-Square and F value. The normal probability plot of residuals approximate a straight line,
and the residuals versus predicted show no outliers. Residuals (appendix VII) against run
order shows independent, random scatter.
Conclusions and recommendations
In my final report to Farmer John, I was able to make the following
recommendations. The addition of Miracle Grow as a fertilizer definitely has an effect on the
size of radishes. In terms of weight, the largest mass was obtained when Miracle Grow was
at the high level (+1). This is shown in the one factor plot in appendix VI. It made no
difference when levels of water or soil were varied.
I was able to suggest that he need not change his water or soil. Water only had a
positive effect on leaf size when ordinary tap water was used. The cube graph in appendix
VIII indicates best results are when water and Miracle Grow are at their high level. There is
no effect regardless of what level soil is at. This is good news to Farmer John, since he will
not have to grow his radishes in a hot house to separate them from natural elements. The fact
that he does not need to adjust his soil is also a cost saving feature. However, there was not a
certain mix of effects that could help determine the quantity of seedlings that would
germinate. These were his two primary objectives.
I would suggest future experiments might include using different kinds of fertilizers,
as well as using them at different levels. It is possible there may a fertilizer that will improve
the number of seeds that germinate. Different fertilizers types may also improve growth size
and the other responses measured. Different seed brands or varieties should also be
experimented on to determine if they have an additional effect. Most important, more time
should be spent, planting the radishes at their optimal growth season and measuring the
radishes at harvest.
