Effects of Water Solutions in Plant Growth
EFFECTS OF WATER SOLUTIONS IN PLANT GROWTH
CHAPTER I
Introduction
Plants are affected by different substances that come into contact with them. These effects may be good or bad. There are certain substances such as fertilizers, which have a positive effect on the growth of certain plants, more specifically pechay (Brassica rapa variety chinensis).
Pechay is commonly used in cooking in Filipino households. It requires little attention as it is a very hardy plant. It is rich in vitamins A, C, K, and fiber as well, which are all good for our bodies. They grow best in cold seasons. The group selected this study so that they can test the effects of certain mixtures or substances such as water and salt, water and sugar, water and powdered milk, against the effects of water only. The group wanted to find out if these substances would benefit or cause damage to the plants.
Statement of Problem “Can varying solutions enhance the growth of pechay?”
Hypothesis
The problem under study is whether different kinds of solutions (such as water and salt, water and sugar, water and milk) will affect the growth of plants.
Their objectives are: * To determine which solution will benefit pechay plants. * To make a homemade, effective fertilizer instead of buying expensive ones
Significance of the Study Since agriculture is one of the main sources of income for the people in the country, the researchers would want to determine if water mixtures would affect the growth of plants. Their study about the different mixtures, such as water with sugar, water with salt, water with oil and water with soap affecting the growth of plants is significant because this study will educate the people of the things that they do not want to water their plants with. If this study is successful, the researchers will be able to inform the people on how they can make their plants grow faster and the substances that would harm them. Through
