The secnd experiment n hw t grw crps n Mars and mn sil simulants has given a surprising utcme. as a result f what the researchers f Wageningen University in the Netherlands learned frm their first experiment, they were able t grw ten different crps. 1 The gal f the experiment is t prvide the basis fr grwing crps n Mars and the mn in rder t feed the first settlers.
2 Prfessr Wamelink says, “We used trays instead f small pts and added rganic material (fresh cut grass) t Mars and mn sil simulants This slved the prblem we had with watering in the first experiment and als added fertilizer t the sils” 3 In the next rund they flurished, and the researchers culd harvest frm sme species.
Althugh the Wageningen researchers harvested several nn-pisnus crps, they did nt eat them Wamelink says “ 4 If heavy metals find their way int the crps, they make them pisnus Further research n this is necessary. The experiment shuld start in April 2021 with the grwth f new crps including ptates and beans. ” The sil experiment began in April 2018.
Final harvest tk place in Octber 2019. 5 “This is because we expect that first crp grwth n Mars and the mn will take place in undergrund rms t prtect the plants frm the bad envirnment. ” states Wamelink.
The Wageningen researchers use Mars and mn sil simulants prvided by NASA. The Mars sil simulant cmes frm a vlcan in Hawaii and the mn sil simulant frm an Ariznian desert.
A. The sils cntain heavy metals.
