Question 68

Soil Amendment Study

A botanist is conducting an experiment to evaluate the effect of three organic soil amendments on the root mass development of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.

A sample of 90 genetically identical seedlings is prepared. The botanist wishes to distribute these 90 seedlings equally among three treatment groups (with 30 seedlings in each group):

  • Group T1: Soil amended with biochar.
  • Group T2: Soil amended with mycorrhizal fungi.
  • Group T3: Control group with untreated standard soil.

Explain one way in which the botanist could randomly allocate the 90 seedlings to the three treatment groups.
