A student's potato project

A student's potato project shows the importance of organic produce.

This child does an experiment seeing if sweet potatoes would grow vines in 3 weeks. Three sweet potatoes were placed in water from different businesses. It takes one week for a potato to grow vines if it’s organic. The non-organic sweet potato had a chemical called Bud-nip sprayed on it and Bud Nip is used to prevent the growth of vines. One ingredient in Bud Nip is chlorpropham which has been known to kill animals and cause tumors.
