Green Bean Sprouts

Outline

Introduction Objective of study Factors and Levels Experiment Procedures Data Set Description

Introduction

Green beans are mainly grow in China, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Burma, Bangladesh and India, but also in hot and dry regions of southern Europe and the southern USA.

Uses China: dessert (green bean soup) Indonesia: popular dessert snack (es

kacang hijau)

Introduction

Green bean sprouts are germinated by leaving them watered with 4 hours of daytime light and spending the rest of the day in the dark.

Green bean sprouts can be grown under artificial light for 4 hours over the period of a week.

Fluorescent bulbs or incandescent light bulbs would be the best to use for green bean sprouts.

Introduction

Germination of green bean required: Water Temperature Oxygen

However, in our experiment we leave our green beans in the specific location 24 hours .

Objective

To find out the factors that influence the rate of germination

To explore the main effect that influence the rate of germination

To investigate the interaction of the factors

Factors and Levels

Factors :

1. Location (expose under sunlight (outdoor), normal

room (indoor), air condition room)

2. Number of beans (5, 10, 15 beans)

3. pH (<7, 7, >7)
