hoho....today...i've submitted my last report! (Crop Science)
wat a relief....no more reports and assignments...!!
well, actually i hv no time to feel relief coz my final exam'll start on 2nd of Nov!
OMG...Exam is just around the corner i hvnt started to touch any of my lecture notes!!
im gonna study hard for the next 2 weeks...wew...hopefully i'll do well...
im not hoping to get any HDs, i'll b very satisfied with Ds... T.T
my internal marks are not as good as before...i guess i've played too much dis sem....hm....
Before the hectic week's coming, im gonna hv fun for the last time, haha!
we r goin to hv BBQ party this sunday! woohoo....
the plan was originally from Carmen, she ajak us to go makan end of this week when all reports will be submitted liao...
but then rio said "kita masak aj!" woohoo...sounds nice...coz we got alot of chef around =)
Then we end up with BBQ party plan...i've booked the BBQ place at poolside which is just downstairs!
owkay i paid RM200 for deposit...now the only problem is to think bout wat kind of food to serve.
I really hope this party will be fun =) n i bet it will...hehe! there will be a total of 14 peeps.
hm...lets talk bout the last crop science report...it's actually a major project in the subject...
We've planted Bayam (
Amaranthus gangeticus) since week 2 of the semester.
the whole experiment lasted for bout 7 weeks. well, basically we were looking at the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on plant growth and yield of bayam. We planted the bayam from a really small seed.
then we mix the soil by ourselves (3 sedentary soil, 2 sand, 1 chicken dung). we hv to water the plants EVERYDAY! including weekends and public holiday which are quite a nuisance. But it doesnt matter since there were 6 of us (me, mega, susan, yinny, kaamesh, tengku zahirah) who took turn to go to water the plants. We hv 4 treatment (0 N, 80 N, 160 N, and 240 N). There was 5 replication for each treatment. Thus, total is 20 pots lor....Well, this experiment was quite boring la actually...n we got report somemore...! Well, at least i learnt sth from the exp...Here's some photos...
The very first week when the exp starts...the plants were carefully watered.... =)
Pak tani....
owkay...the seeds start to germinate...it was suprisingly fast! it took only 2 to 3 days...
The growth of unwanted weeds...
make sure that the baby bayam was at 5 differnt location in a pot with similar distance
when the bayam was around 10 cm =)
inside the hothouse...(it is really HOT!)
At last...the plants grows taller n taller n taller n taller...(can u spot me? haha)
posing...haha!
They were trying to make me taller...? haha...
lihat kebunku.. penuh dengan bayam.. ada yang kecil, dan ada yang besar.. setiap hari kusiram semua.. bayam grup lain tak bacok semua.. hahahaha...(Ikhwan, 2009)
As the experiment keeps goin on, insects, fungus, or other problem are observed too...
Accumulation of ants and mealy bugs (clear association can be seen)
Bent stem was observed too....
At last, before the plants were chopped of for their dry weight, we took the last pict of it....
This clearly showed the growth of plant with 0 N, 80 N, 160 N, and 240 N....
The tallest plant was found in 160 N followed by 240, 80, and 0....
0 is the control where there was no nitrogen was applied....
Note the colour difference of the leaves too....lack of nitrogen could cause the fading colour of leaves, bla bla bla...i feel like typing the report itself...im gonna stop talking bout this....
Okie Dokie....so this is all bout the project in Crop Science....
Watcha think?
