- You are asked to take care of your teacher's favorite plant while she goes on a research trip. She leaves a set of special macronutrients supplement that you can apply to the plant while she's gone.

You have a choice between a name-brand fertilizer and a generic-brand fertilizer, which are both in liquid form. The labels indicate that they are identical in composition (the type of nutrients and their amount per unit volume of fertilizer are identical). The name-brand fertilizer advertises that it is superior to any other fertilizer on the market. To test the claims of the two fertilizers you decide to buy one bottle of each and treat equal numbers of "Big Boy" tomato plants (a single type of tomato that goes great with salads) with the same amount of each fertilizer for the entire growing season. Using the information from the paragraph above, which of the following is an example of a controlled variable in your experiment?
