Analysis of Influencing Factors on the Growth of Morning Glory Seedlings Via the Factorial Experiment
Keywords:
Morning glory, Soil amount, Light sourceAbstract
This study aims to study the influence of soil amount and light source on the growth of morning glory seedlings. The experiment was conducted by 3 3 Factorial in a completely randomized design with three replications.There were three soil amounts (30, 60, and 90 grams) and three light sources (natural light, light bulb, and a combination of the two types of light). We collected the growth data, including the germination percentage, number of fibrous roots, number of leaves, stem length, fresh weight, and dry weight. The result demonstrated that soil amount influenced the germination percentage of morning glory seedlings (p-value = 0.003), where the 90 grams of soil amount yielded the highest germination percentage of morning glory seedlings (57.78%). The light source influenced the stem length of morning glory seedlings (p-value = 0.009), where the natural light gave the highest average stem length of morning glory seedlings (4.8847 cm.). However, there was no interaction effect between the two factors on all aspects of the growth of morning glory seedlings.
