Materials 1- Water 2- Clothing Detergents oz.plastic cup table spoons 5- 6” plant.

Results From The beginning of my research, it was obvious to me what the results would tell me. The plan that is receiving detergent start to show leaf injury. 1-Turning wilted. 2- Turning brown and yellow. Root ball and stem from the plant was getting rot. Plant stayed very moist. The information gained from this experiment will alert people to the dangerous effect of detergents on plants.

Conclusion In conclusion, our experiment went as planed. Show me how the plant was effected by detergents. The detergents started killing the plant after the first week. Any kind of plants could be effect by detergents. Detergents will not damage plants if concentration are low. Detergents should be used cautiously as pesticides in order to avoid damage to plants. That high concentration of chemicals in the detergent would kill the plants.
