Situation:
Growing pechay is an easy way to earn money. It is a good way to augment the financial needs of a family especially these days when everything is expensive. This plant is also easy to grow and needs a short time before it is harvested. But since pechay has ,limited time frame before it is harvested, I is essential that its growth should be maximized on the second and third week after it is transplanted. So the use of fertilizer is recommended. But commercial fertilizer is also expensive. So what should be done? It is natural to find substitute which is less expensive but equally effective. This project aims to determine if there is a difference in the growth of pechay plant with different kinds of fertilizer used. This study will be limited to pechay plant only.
Title: Growth Rate Of Pechay Plant Using Different Kind Of Fertilizer
Problem: Is there a difference in the growth of pechay plant if different kinds of fertilizers are used?
Experimental Design:
*Materials:
5 pechay plants Soil Plant pots Chicken dung Animal manure Compost
Commercial fertilizer Water
*Variables CONTROLLED VARIABLES:
Soil
Pechay plant (size) Size of plant pots Location with sunlight Water
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES: Fertilizer
DEPENDENT VARIABLES: Growth rate of pechay plant
