The effect of phosphorus nutrition on the growth of corn, Zea mays.

Lab Report: The effect of phosphorus nutrition on the growth of corn, Zea mays.

Introduction

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for all plants. It is one of the nine

essential plant macronutrients and has important functions in energy carrying

compounds ATP and ADP, nucleic acids and phospholipids (Raven et al, 2013).

Plants that do not get enough phosphorus turn dark green or purple, have stunted

growth, and lose their oldest leaves (Raven et al, 2013, Table 29-2). In crop plants,

insufficient P leads to a low yield (Russell 1989). Phosphorus is taken up from the

soil by a plant’s roots, so the level of P in the soil has a large influence on plant

growth. Many Australian soils are very low in P, and so phosphorus is applied as

superphosphate fertilizer (CSBP, 2001). In sandy soils, such as those near Perth, this

is nearly always necessary.

This experiment examined the effect of adding P on the growth of corn (Zea

mays). This is a common market garden crop grown in the Metro area. Our prediction

was that adding P to the soil will increase the rate of growth and the harvest of corn

grown in a local soil.

Methods

Soil was obtained from a market garden in Wanneroo. It was steam- sterilised

and placed in 200mm pots, in which corn seeds were sown as described in Koenders

(2009). P was applied, and the corn was grown and harvested, as described in

Koenders (2009), with the exception that rates of fertiliser application in this

A lab report has required sections. The introduction includes background information as well as a statement of the aim or a prediction.

This makes a clear prediction for the experiment. Using it makes it easier to write a conclusion later

experiment have been converted to the standard format of kilograms per hectare

(kg.ha-1)

Results

Addition of a higher level of P had a large effect on plant growth (Table 1).

Plants with no P were very short, produced few or no cobs (Table1) and in general

had a low yield. Plants with applied P had the same mean number of cobs per plant,

but differed greatly in the yield of grain. The differences in yield levels between 0

and 26 kg.ha-1 was highly significant at (t=122.41, df = 18, p=0.05), as were those

between 0 and 39 kg.ha-1 (t=146.8) and 26 and 29 kg.ha-1 (t= 64.0).

Discussion

It is very clear that addition of P to the soil increases plant growth and yield.

This result is consistent with the results of previous experiments that have shown

similar effects in many different species (Raven et al, 2013) and with the predictions

in this experiment.

This is a correct use of SI units…but there is a fullstop missing from the sentence!

Note how the table is referred to. It is not necessary to say “Table one shows that…”

The results are summarised in text, not just presented as a set of numbers.

The results of the statistical test are included – but not the calculations!

The table has a title that explains its contents.

Each column has a heading and gives the units in which the number are measured

Puts the results in context of the experiment’s aims and design, and other knowledge. See the list of specific items in the module’s description of this section.

The discussion does not repeat the results, but considers what they mean.

The results section does not include raw data, only summary statistics (mean, standard deviation etc)

Josephine Bloggs 1234 56713 Lab group X

Phosphorus has a number of important roles in the plant (Raven et al, 2013).

Plants that are deficient in P cannot grow properly, as they are unable to transport

energy in the form of ATP and ADP and so cellular metabolism is limited. they are

also less able to produce new cell membranes, as these also contain a large amount of

P in the form of phospholipids. In fact, it is quite possible that the mebranes degrade

over time and the cells die (Campbell et al, 2012).

P limited plants also lose their lower leaves, which is due to the translocation

of P from these leaves into the tissues where P is required. One of the major places

where P is needed is in the production of fruits and seeds, for new cell membrane and

DNA production as well as the production and transfer of energy. In the current

experiment the yield of corn seeds was much lower in plants with low P than where P

was provided, due to this effect. However it is not possible to comment on the levels

of P within the actual tissues as this was not measured.

It appears that there was not much difference between the production of corn

cobs between the two higher rates of P application. Corn plants only ever produce

two cobs at a maximum, so the biggest difference was in the production of none in

plants with no P added. It is also possible to say based on these results that the effect

of P was on the number of kernels and their weight within each cob in the 26 kg.ha-1

and 39 kg.ha-1 plants.

The student has shown how she worked out the mean.

There is a reference missing here. Can you find the other missing one?

Variance group 1

= ((1349 – 1330)2 + (1375 – 1330)2 + (1348 – 1330)2 + ….) / 9 = 1575.584

Mean group 2 (26 kg.ha) = 2917 + 2927 + …./ 10 = 2924

Variance group 2

= ((2917.99 – 2924)2 + (2927.51 – 2924)2 + (2922.52 – 2924)2 + ….) / 10-1

=119.984

Calculate value of t

= (|1330-2924|) / √ (1575.58/10 + 119.984/10)

= 1594/ √ 169.58 = 1594/13.02

= 122.42

While the student has calculated t she has missed something very important – she has not listed the critical value that she looked up on the statistical tables!

Research Methods

This discussion will focus on the following research methods used in personality psychology:

Correlational studies

Experimental studies

Case methods

Imagine your team is applying for a grant to conduct a major study in personality psychology. Before getting into the specifics of the study, the team leader has asked each team member to discuss one of the different research methods available in personality psychology. You will be assigned a research method based on the first letter of your last name.

Your initial post will describe the assigned research method and how it is implemented. Discuss how personality researchers use the method and also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the research method assigned. Be sure to mention the appropriate applications of the method you are describing. The overall goal here is to inform the team about the appropriate use of your research method as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Your instructor may reassign research methods as needed for this discussion, so check the announcements for any reassignments.

Discuss this case study on the topic of extension of liability to healthcare executives and strategies to prevent it.

Mary Smith, CNO, has just been named in a lawsuit along with two of her registered nurses. The lawsuit arose as a result of a patient’s hip fracture sustained as a result of a fall. The two nurses named in the lawsuit were caring for the plaintiff on the day of the fall. Mary Smith, as CNO, claims that she had no involvement with the care that was provided to the patient and cannot fathom that she is also a named party on the claim. The lawsuit alleges negligence and seeks unspecified damages from all three nurses named.

Discuss the following issues as they pertain to this case:

How does liability extend to the CNO?
What defenses are available to the CNO? In other words, what evidence can the CNO put forth to show that she should be dropped from the suit?
None of the nurses, including the CNO, have liability insurance. Is this a concern? Why or why not?
NUR 400 Short Paper Rubric

In the clinical area, you may encounter a situation as the one mentioned below. It is of relevance because liability in clinical practice can occur, and it is vital that the nurse take appropriate steps to protect her/his license. Further, in this hypothetical, the chief nursing officer is also a named party on the claim even though she had no direct patient care with the patient (now the plaintiff). Consider how you would proceed in this circumstance. Prompt: In responding to the hypothetical case study, please use at least three evidence-based sources, as this is a scholarly endeavor. You must internally cite and list your sources using correct APA format. The paper must be organized using the questions listed below as subheadings.
