With the addition of Natron as a herbicide to control weeds, there are concerns that the runoff could affect the growth of other plant life. The purpose of this lab is to test the toxicity of Natron as well as the max dosage that will still allow for beans to grow in the presence of the herbicide; We hope to find out the LD50, the toxicity in comparison to Anubis, as well as the germination rate of exposed the beans. We hypothesized that increased concentration of Natron would lead to a decrease
