What is the effect of light wavelengths on the biomass gained by basil plants?
In my experiment I will use three different types of light bulbs that give off different wavelengths of light. Under each type of light I will grow five basil plants, each in a separate container. The plants will start as sprouts no more than one centimeter high. I will grow the plants for three weeks. At the end of the experiment I will remove the plants from the soil, dry them in an oven and mass each plant on a balance. I can then find the average biomass in grams for plants from each light source to make comparisons. During the experiment, all plants will be watered and otherwise cared for equally.
