Abstract

I will study the effects of replicated landfill gas on the life cycle of Brassica rapa, a member of the Brassicaceae family. Also within this family are vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, turnips, and radishes. The experiment will examine the seed germination, plant growth, and seed formation, and how they are effected by the gases.
