There Is No Sign of Growing Yet. Small Sprouts Begin To Grow

This document describes an experiment comparing the effects of organic versus inorganic fertilizer on pechay plants. Two pots were prepared, one with organic fertilizer and one with inorganic. Over four weeks, the pot with organic fertilizer showed faster growth, producing larger, healthier plants with more leaves and branches compared to the pot with inorganic fertilizer. The conclusion is that organic fertilizer allows for faster plant growth.

EFFECTS OF USING ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER TO PECHAY PLANT


(ORGANIC FERTILIZERS VERSUS INORGANIC FERTILIZERS)

A. INTRODUCTION
I am showing the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizer so that you will know what to use to your future plants.It took a
week to complete this study.I was observing the plant with organic fertilizer and knew that it would grow much faster than
inorganic, Not like the inorganic that has a delay to grow than the organic. So that’s why I should recommend organic
fertilizer for your plant to grow faster..
B. OBJECTIVES
To determine the difference between organic and inorganic fertilizer
To observe the plant between organic and inorganic
C. MATERIALS
-2 pots -garden tools -market
-organic fertilizer (see procedure A) -pechay seed -garden soil
-any branded commercial fertilizer -water sprinkler -measuring scale
D. PROCEDURE
A. Preparation of the organic fertilizer
Organic fertilizer usually comes from materials that are either plant or animal in origin – livestock manure, compost,
crop residues, household waste, and plant litter.
In plastic pail, mix equal amounts of household wastes, livestock manure, plant litter, and water. Using a shovel, stir
the mixture. This will be your organic fertilizer.

B. Preparation of the experimental set up


1. Mark the two pots A and B. Pot A will contain the soil with organic fertilizer and Pot B will contain the soil with the
commercial fertilizer.
2. Measure equal amounts of garden soil. The quantity of the soil should be enough to fill 2/3 of each pot.
3. For Pot A, thoroughly mix the garden soil with the organic fertilizer by hand-hoeing. The quantity of the organic fertilizer
should be ½ the quantity of the soil placed on the pot.
4. For Pot B, thoroughly mix the soil with inorganic fertilizer also by hand-hoeing. Read the instructions on the label of the
commercial fertilizer for the recommended rates to avoid over or under fertilization.
5. In each pot, put about 15 pechay seeds evenly distributed on the surface of the garden soil and partially cover them with
small amounts of soil.
6. Expose the two setups to open light. Water them regularly. Watch out for some fungal growth. If seed is infected by
molds, remove and discard the seed. Record the number of seeds discarded (if any).
7. Observe the set ups for five weeks.

C. Gathering Data
1. After four weeks, count the number of plants in each set-up that grew.
2. Uproot the plant and measure the following:
a. the mass of each plant using the platform balance. Compute the average mass.
b. the length (in cm) of each pechay plant.
c. the size (in cm) of the leaves (length and width) of each plant. Compute the average size.
d. the extensiveness of the root ( width spread). Compute the average width spread.
3. Record your data on a table similar to the one given below.

E. RESULT

TABLE 1. Weekly Observations of the Setups


OBSERVATIONS
WEEKS
POT A/Inorganic POT B/Organic
WEEK 1 (July 8-14) There is no sign of growing yet. Small sprouts begin to grow.

WEEK 2( July 15-21) Small sprouts begin to grow. Medium sprouts begin to grow.
And with branches

WEEK 3(July 22-28) Small sprouts begin to grow big Begins to grow bigger and bear
and bear branches more leaves and branches

WEEK 4(July 29-August 5) Begins to grow big just like pot Grows as a Normal plant with
b but with more branches. huge size and more branches
and leaves.

TABLE 2. Measurements of the Different Variables


OBSERVATIONS
WEEKS
POT A POT B
1. number of plants grow 0

2. average mass of the plant 45 kg 75

3. average length of the plants 2m 4m

4. average size of the leaves 20cm 30cm

5. width spread 6cm 12cm

F. DISCUSSION
Organic fertilizer is best for plants unlike commercial fertilizer/inorganic fertilizer. Because the more pure and organic
fertilizer, the faster it grows as a big adult plant.On the other hand, Inorganic is also useful because it can also help the
plants grow. That’s why we need to wisely pick the fertilizer we want to use. Because maybe the fertilizer you bought is
expired that can cause death to plants. So to make this clear, Organic fertilizer is way better than Inorganic..

G. CONCLUSION
Pot B with organic fertilizer grows way faster than Pot A with inorganic. As you can see on the observations
Pot B grows faster than Pot A because of the fertilizer and the soil. We should consider the fertilizer we want
to use so that will know what grows way better. Inorganic fertilizer may burn your plants if exposed to rain.
Organic will not burn the plants, that’s why we should consider the fertilizer we will use so that it can prevent
incidents and loss of plants.
