8. THE EXPERIMENT pesticide Z
Researchers wanted to determine if pesticide Z
was effective at killing grasshoppers that typically
invade cornfields. Two ten-acre cornfields located
1 mile apart were chosen. The cornfield to the
west was sprayed only with water. The cornfield
on the east received the same amount of water
with a 10% solution of pesticide Z. Samples of the
numbers of grasshoppers in the field were made
every week for 10 weeks.
