This experiment tested whether olive oil or rosemary oil was more effective at preventing mold growth on plants. Results showed that rosemary oil reduced mold the most, while olive oil promoted mold and was more harmful to the plants. Three trials highlighted the importance of proper methods: using a mold testing kit and controlling environmental conditions, like darkness, led to the most reliable data. Overall, the study suggests that rosemary oil may act as a natural antifungal agent, while olive oil can increase mold, and emphasizes the need for careful scientific procedures to get accurate results.
Nice job sticking with your project through the different trials!
