A Study on the Effects of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Conclusion:
This study concluded as a success. The hypothesis proved to be true in some of the trials run, most importantly in the ones that were completed succesfully. The data generated by the investigations has answered the research question by proving that the inoculation of growth substrate with
mycorrhizal fungi does in fact affect the growth of flowering plants more specifically (Raphanus Sativum and Phaseolus Vulgaris) in some way. There is notable evidence for a link between the presence of mycorrhizal fungi in the soil of the test species and the height measured of the plants subject to the tests. Though it needs to be said that many external factors that could not be analysed during this study could be impacting the height of the test plants, hence the results may not be
called a direct causation, but a noticeable and data backed correlation can definitely be drawn between the final vegetative height of plants and the presence of mycorrhizal fungi in the soil.
Finally it can be concluded that the data collected and analysed during this was not very precise according to the calculated standard deviations because of the uncontrollable variables that plant
growth possesses. All though there has been a lack of precise data in this study, there are trends that are clearly visible and hence analyses of this data yields qualitative information.…
