working in ghana, emmanuel hanyabui and colleagues compared
the impact on pineapple growth of different combinations of soil
additives, including npk fertilizer (an inorganic fertilizer containing
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), organic compost, and biochar
(a carbon - rich material produced from organic waste matter). based
on data in the table, pineapple farmers with no access to inorganic soil
additives would likely increase the weight and size of their fruits by the
greatest amount by using
which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete
the text?
a. biochar and npk fertilizer.
b. biochar and compost.
c. biochar alone.
d. compost alone

Explanation:

To determine which soil treatment gives the greatest amount of pineapple fruit weight and size, we compare the values in the "Weight (grams)" row for each treatment. The highest value in the weight row is 1062.2 grams, which corresponds to the "Biochar and NPK" treatment.

Answer:

A. biochar and NPK fertilizer
