A. Preparation and Hydrolyzation Of Chicken Feather

Feathers, the keratin carbon and nitrogen source used in this study were obtained from a market in Blumentritt, Manila. Steam jacketed, batch or continuous pressurizedcookers heat or hydrolyze and sterelize the animal, poultry by product by product raw materials.

The feathers were thoroughly washed to remove dirt and blood stains, sun-dried for few hours. The dried feathers were then grinded using grinder pound. Standard sieve of 60 mesh particle size was used to obtain very fine feather substrate. The powders were kept at room temperature and used for further studies.

    The use of soluble nitrogenous fertilizers in conventional farming, impacts the nutritional value of the food grown (Bacchus 2012, p.25). It leads to an increase in plant growth and development however a decreased allocation of resources towards the production of secondary metabolites (Mitchell & Chassy 2011). These include DNA, RNA, chlorophyll, amino acids and starch and phytochemicals of caffeine, isoflavonoids and phenolic antioxidants (Mitchell & Chassy 2011).…

    Dicot Plants

    The seeds of summer squash (Cacurbita moschata), beet (Beta vulgaris), and pepper (Capsicum annuum) are all dicot plants, which mean that they have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. When they are placed in an environment and are watered with solutions of different acidic and alkaline levels, the root growth during germination is affected. The purpose of this experiment was to observe what type of substance, acidic or basic, increases the growth of roots during the germination process of Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum. Previous research has shown that water with a rather neutral pH level of 7 is best for plant germination and growth and that pH levels more acidic or basic did not show much plant germination. The hypothesis was that if the acidity or alkalinity is varied in water to change the pH level, then the then the Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum root length and plant growth will be less than the root length and plant growth of the seeds watered with the neutral pH of 7 because the intake of either OH- ions, if basic, or H+ ions, if acidic, will be increased, which diminishes the nutrients needed for a seedling to germinate. The hypothesis was tested by placing Cacurbita moschata, Beta vulgaris, and Capsicum annuum seedlings into petri dishes that were watered with lemon juice (pH 2), vinegar (pH 3), milk (pH 6), water (our control with a pH of 7), baking soda (pH 8), and milk of magnesia (pH 9.5). While the seedlings germinated in the petri dishes, root length was measured along with the day the seedling germinated. After the root lengths were gathered, they were analyzed and compared to each other to show what pH level expressed the best results. The significance of this study was to better understand how plant and vegetable seedlings tolerate various levels of water pH. Root length analysis showed that water with a rather neutral pH of…

    The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a fast growing plant and is used commonly in experiments due to its easy testability. It can grow in a variety of conditions and is easy to see the effects of different treatments. The idea of the treatment that we applied to our bean plants came from our class and scientific papers that help back our experiment. Examining many studies on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on a variety of plants helped us better understand what the fertilizer was doing to the plants. A study done on Brassica plants showed that when nitrogen fertilizer was introduced there was an increase in biomass production, causing lower stress brought on from B phytoextraction increasing plant growth (Chemosphere). A…

    White, round, smooth are picturesque descriptions of an egg. An egg has a simple exterior that is easy to describe. However, this simple egg has a complex ecological footprint that contributes to the destruction of our planet, people, and prosperity. Eggs are essential to every dimension of the earth. An egg is a nutritious source protein and vitamins, triggering the performance of health maintenance in humans. Not only are eggs an exceptional source of nutrients, they are also linked with “preserving memory, and lutein and zeaxanthin, which may protect against vision loss” (“Egg Nutrition & Heart Disease”). Eggs possess intrinsic value that is considered to benefit the planet; eggs are part of the natural ecosystem services that powers all life on the earth. Without egg production, a snowball effect will prompt species extinction, hampering income, and other destructive outcomes. Thus, the importance of eggs in today’s world is revealed through a sense of balance among the ecosystem cycles of the planet. In actuality, the production process of a chicken, to an egg, to a mouth yields unsustainable impacts that contribute to the destruction of the triple bottom line.…

    The following steps were taken to run the test. First, two white pots and two green pots were used. White pots were treated with low nitrogen and green pots were treated with high nitrogen. Second, a fertilizer stick is inserted in the green pots 1cm away from the edge, and two holes were made in all four pots. Each hole was no more than 1cm in depth, and each hole were made in the center, 1 cm away from each other.…

    The third problem focused on the amount of oil left (g/L) by chicken feathers after the chicken feathers were applied. It is related with the amount oil absorbed. The greater the oil absorbed, the lesser the amount of oil left. The variation of the amount of oil left is affected by the transfer of setup from trays to glass containers. The conclusions were based only on one parameter, oil absorption capacity, since it is the property being tested by the researchers to show a significant difference among the different variables.…

    Egg shells can be easily gathered because we have a lot of poultry in our community. It contains nutrients like nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium which help the plant in its growth and development. According to Marschner(1995), calcium is a nutrient which is very essential to plants. It helps to prevent the common plant problems like the deformation of the plants leaves, fruit abnormalities and stunted growth. Calcium helps to improve soil structure…

    This could be the case in our study as shown in the result. However, in this study combination of species of Glomus spp. was used for the study, which may be the reason for low colonisation recorded for the various form of Glomus spp. used, that is, Glomus spp. and Glomus spp. Fertiliser. The effect that the fertilizers present in the glomus spp fertilizer could have on the root colonisation cannot be jettison. According to de Miranda and Harris (1994), the presence of fertiliser in the soil or substrate, particularly Phosphorus, can influence the symbiosis relationship between the plants and the AMF by either hindering root colonisation or inhibiting plant growth. This was observed at the beginning of the experiment. No sprouting was observed in the pots treated with Glomus spp fertilizer until the … day (Plate 3.) The plants growth was slow at the start (Plate 6) and no colonisation was recorded after 26days (Table 2.). However, the level of phosphorus or other nutrients that could influence AMF symbiosis with plant was not specified, this make it difficult to ascertain the effect of the fertilizer contained by Glomus spp. fertilizer on root colonisation in this study. This is because root colonisation was observed for this particular treatment even better than Glomus spp. treatment (Fig) and the highest growth…

    The factors affecting Zea mays, maize (C4) and Pisum sativa, or pea (C3) plant yield and growth patterns placed under shade and full sunlight were investigated. 20 plantlets placed into four vermiculite compost pots (5 from each plantlet) and submitted to fertilizer or no fertilizer. And after 4 weeks the results showed that maize grown in light with no fertilizer had a higher relative growth rate and root to shoot ratio indicating the allocation favoured root development. Meanwhile pea with fertilizer and no light had a higher growth rate and shoot was more allocated since this C3 plants were long.…
