This farmer wants to test a new fertilizer for his crops. He sections off two large areas of his field. In section A, he waters his crops as usual and uses his normal fertilize, Grow-Rite. In section B, he waters his crops as usual and but adds Ever-Grow fertilizer. After 1 growing season, he records the growth of the crops.

Name the control group, experimental group, independent variable, and dependent variable.

1. Control Group: Section A (crops given Grow-Rite) 

2. Experimental Group: Section B (crops given Ever-Grow)

3. Independent Variable: Type of Fertilizer

4. Dependent Variable: Growth of the crops
