Re: Plants, Water, Microwaves.

I ran a science experiment along the same vein, but instead of microwaving the water, I microwaved the seeds. I recall that there was a variance in the number of sprouted seeds vs. the control, but even some of the nuked seeds grew. As compared to water that has be vibrated to produce friction and heat, I can see no scientific validity to such influence on germination of the seeds.

Even pretty poluted water will sprout some seeds. I would suggest that water exposed to sunlight has had more deleterious radiation than some in a micro-wave. That would imply that all rainwater would not allow seeds to germinate.

I can see no real reason to even waste time on such an obviously erroneous conclusion.

Just my two cents worth and experience.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
