Materials required: Glass trough, sand, flower pot, plugged at the bottom, pea or bean seeds and water.
Procedure:
1. A glass trough is taken and is filled with sand. A flower pot containing water, plugged at the bottom is kept at the centre of the glass trough.
2. Soaked pea or bean seeds are placed around the pot in the sand, what do we observe after 6 or 7 days?
Observation: It will be observed that radicle has grown towards the pot and moisture instead of growing vertically downward.
Inference: It proves that primary root is positively hydrotropic.
