Question

Suppose you notice that fewer soybean seeds seem to begerminating in one of your fields this year. You also know that youhave been irrigating that field over the past 10 years and thatthere is a possibility that salts from the water are building up inthe soil as the irrigation water evaporates from the surface of thesoil thus perhaps reducing the germination rate of the soybeans

1. Now that you have thought about the above pieces ofexperimental design, go ahead and outline/design an experiment thatthat would investigate this hypothesis.
