This section must answer basic questions about the way the project was conducted (where, when, how, with what?). Another investigator must be able to read this section and reproduce your work exactly. Remember to include all relevant environmental factors (time of year/day, temperature, amount of light, etc.), number of specimens, species name, volume and concentration of any solutions used, types of containers, equipment used (give brand names if applicable), location of study (if relevant to results), and how you performed statistical analysis. Be specific but don’t get carried away.
Keep your audience in mind – you probably do not need to explain to a fellow biologist how to pipette, label, turn on a machine, etc. However, you will need to make sure that it is clear to the reader why certain steps were taken (e.g. ‘one set of plants was treated with water to serve as a control’).
Two more things to remember about format for this section: write in past tense and use 3rd person only.
Hypothesis is : plant with miduim amount of fertilizer will grow better.
