The control is the subject in an experiment not introduced to the dependent variable. For instance if you were to test the effect of different types of fertilizer on plants, the control would be the plant with no fertilizer.

∙ 14y agoIn an experiment, it is the variable that remains constant, or unchanged, and is used as a comparison to compare the changing variables against.
In other words,a control is a KNOWN,GIVEN, PROVEN quantity or 'YARD STICK' against which an unknown or uncertainty is measured to determine the accuracy of the result or outcome.
