Abstract
In this experiment the effect of different fertilizers on the amount of chlorophyll was determined.The question addressed is which fertilizer will increase the amount of chlorophyll the most. Previous research has failed to test how two different fertilizers affects the amount of chlorophyll. It will be hypothesized that organic and inorganic fertilizer mixed will have the greatest effect on the fertilizer. The experiment was conducted by cutting off the leaves of the plant in each fertilizer and crushing them into acetone, then running them through a SpectroVis. This project will help people to know which fertilizers will create the healthiest looking plants.
