The results are now in. We check out their overall project that involves floating plants. Thats next in the agribusiness report, next across the us have problems with nutrients. With all the Agricultural Land around them. Its pretty normal to have surface and ground water push phosphorus or nitrogen from the soil into the lake. Vegetated floating islands are a part of a project designed to clean up the water. In University Researchers planted flowers and perennials into a wire mesh designed to let roots grow through. Then set plant islands off floating into lake lavern. The idea is those roots. When fully formed. Will dredge the lake for excess nutrients. Then last fall. Researchers pulled them out. All grown up. And harvested the plant matter. On this island they pulled it apart stitch by stitch trying to get every shred of dry weight. They took the harvest to a limnologist. Who identified all the elements. After about a year. The results are in. The floating islands removed the amount of nutrients that we would expect them to remove based on the types of plants that we used and the sizes of them. And what that tells us is this particular best management practice is a really good fit for iowa ponds and small lakes. This project is a proof of concept. To see how these islands perform in the state. Around the islands. Phosphorus. And a 70 percent reduction in nitrogen. Datawise the islands were mostly the same but they grew better than research claimed. Based on other peoples data, the root systems of these plants were only supposed to grow like the first year youre only supposed to get about a foot of depth below the islands. And we had massive root growth. There were two or three feet hanging below the islands when difference is normally the plants need two years to become effective. This project only had about 5 months on the lake. So the fact that we had to remove them was a problem in terms of their long term status and their actual performance so that would be the next logical step is to find a location to test these where we can leave them permanently or semi permanently. That next step also includes a look at what plants would be best. Iowa state limited the project to good looking plants. Rather than species that cattails. Stewart says they wanted to use iowa native plants. And found 18 varieties. But theres not enough research on plants that are good at getting rid of nutrients. And they had to risk it on six iowa varieties. But the results were surprising. We still got, the same. Our data was basically exactly the same for how many nutrients they were able to pull out en mass as to other studies that had used plants that had specifically saw the same results. Which is very promising. The isu team drafted a technical guideline of the project for the National Resource conservation service. Stewart says thats also promising. Its going through the process, so that farmers will be able to use this and get rebates or paid in order to implement these on their land, which is a fantastic outcome. In the report and technical guidelines there are instructions that show how to make an island. Each one costs about 15 hundred dollars. Steward says they tried to make it accessible to everyone. Wagner adds you could make one on you own. And in the future. She would like to see these islands tested in iowa drainage di water flow and anchoring. She says there have been positive results in other studies. The vegetative floating islands was a part of a 40 thousand dollar grant by the watershed improvement review board. And partly matched by iowa state iversity. Trt 3 and rtly matched by iowa State University. And for this boy in massachusetts, he couldnt be happier about his experience last night. We explain why this army costume, complete with a tank, is so special, next on tv nine. From princesses and jedis to various costumes hitting the street for Juli Mcdonald introduces us to one boy who had a very special halloween for the first time ever. This halloween was no tricks. Only treats for 12yearold tyler plotkin. But it had nothing to do with loot. It was about who he got to be. It was kind of nice to not have those questions and not think of him as different. Everyone just tank which was kind of fun. Tyler was born with epilepsy and as a newborn. Suffered from more than 20 grandmal seizures a day. As he rolls up in his army tanker. The people who love him know the real fighters is underneath that costume. Hes had almost 30 surgeries, i think. About 26 have been on his head. He had half his brain removed when he was 15 months old. Hes probably the toughest kid i know. Heather and erik have gotten they needed some help. Hes happiest when going fast. Whether in a car or remote controlled car or wheelchair. He likes to move. So these juniors from Nashoba ValleyTechnical High School spent three months converting a power wheels escalade into a remotecontrolled vehicle. Sending tyler zipping through his neighborhood at the hands of mom and dad. Faster hi honey just as we were about to park it and call it done for the night, he goes, had fun it melts your heart to hear that. He doesnt have a lot of sayings. But when he says something and you know he truly means it, its the best. Simple words and a sweet smile. That make this halloween feel more like christmas. Bye in groton. Juli mcdonald.
