Summary Introduction

To hypothesize: The increased population density of a particular plant increases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infects the plant.

Introduction: “Population density” is the number of organisms inhabiting a particular area of land. An experiment should be carried out in a controlled environment where the test results won’t be impacted by external pressures. To carry out an experiment where the population density of the plant is detrimental to the result, various steps can be taken such as confining the plants in a specific area and so on.
