3.1 Summary
Agriculture is one of the vital movers of a country’s economy. In the
Philippines, almost one third of the total land area of 29.187 million hectares is under intensive cultivation. There is a high potential of generating labor and livelihood and agricultural products and by-products processing and intensification and diversification of agricultural product systems. These potentials however, are being hindered due to lack of appropriate agricultural strategies. Thus, this study entitled
Chicken Bones and Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) Stalks as Plant Growth Enhancer aims to integrate new approaches of enhancing the growth of the plant by utilizing the chicken bones and malunggay plants. In line with the aforementioned discussion, the study aims to know the potential of chicken bones and malunggay stalks as plant growth enhancer and compare the quality of the experimental plant growth enhancer to that commercialized product in the industry. Specifically, the study aims to answer the questions:
1.
Is there a significant difference among the growth of the plant (plant length, leaf area, number of leaves) treated with different concentrations of experimental plant growth enhancer and the commercial plant growth enhancer? 2.
Is there a significant difference among the growth of the plant (plant length, leaf area, number of leaves) treated with different concentrations of experimental plant growth enhancer and the vermiculture?
3.
What plant growth enhancer yielded the best result?
4.
What is the correct formulation of the plant growth enhancer (combination of chicken bones and malunggay stalks) that yields the best result on the growth of the plant?
3.2 Findings
After the researchers have gathered, calculated and interpreted the data the following information has been found out:
1. For treatment 1 (100% malunggay stalks), there is no significant difference in the
