METHODOLOGY
Research Method This study entitled “Organic Fermented Materials as Growth Promotant for Pechay (brassica rapa chinensis” used the experimental method. Three trials were conducted to find out if organic fermented materials can be used as growth promotant for pechay (brassica rapa chinensis).
Materials 2 kilograms of combination of young, freshly picked shoots of vegetables – kamote, alugbati, malunggay, and oregano 1 kilogram molasses plastic pail with cover weighing scale plastic container
Procedure Fermenting of Organic Materials Necessary materials and ingredients were gathered. Fresh shoots of camote tops, alugbati, malunggay, and oregano were washed and chopped, then, measured using weighing scale. In the plastic container, chopped combination of shoots was placed and coated with molasses. The researcher slightly mixed them, placed in the plastic pail with its lid and left in a cool dark place for 7 days.
Harvesting the Liquid The researcher collected the liquid produced on the 7th day. Roughly, the researcher had 2 liters of plant juice used as growth promotant for pechay (brassica rapa chinensis). This plant juice was put into the container.
Application to the Plant
After harvesting the liquid, the plant juice, with the percentage of 25%, 50%, and 75%, was mixed with water and sprayed directly to the said plant.

The mixture was placed in the plastic pail with its lid and was left in a cool dark place for 7 days.
Fermented plant juice was produced.
Organic materials were washed, chopped, and measured using weighing scale.
Chopped combination of shoots was placed and coated with molasses in the plastic container.
Materials and equipment to be needed were prepared.
