The study examined the impact of hamster manure on the growth of Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) and found that low concentrations promote better growth, while high concentrations can hinder it due to nutrient overload. It concluded that hamster manure can be an effective organic fertilizer if applied correctly, as excessive amounts lead to stunted growth and fewer leaves. Recommendations for future research include optimizing sunlight exposure, using seeds instead of cuttings, improving pot drainage, and extending observation periods.

CHAPTER V

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions, and recommendations for future

researchers.

5.1 Summary of findings

●​ The study explored the effects of hamster manure on the growth of Malunggay (Moringa

oleifera) plants using three setups: low manure concentration, high concentration, and no

manure.

●​ Based on plant height, setup 1 (low concentration) showed the most consistent and steady

growth each week, indicating that low manure concentrations promote plant height.

●​ On the other hand, setup 2 (no manure) had slower but steady growth, suggesting that

while manure aids growth, plants can still develop without it.

●​ Lastly, setup 3 (high concentration) grew quickly at first but declined in the final week,

implying that high manure concentrations may initially boost growth but later hinder it.

●​ Taking into account the leaf production of the plants, setup 2 (no manure) produced the

most leaves, showing that leaf growth is not strictly dependent on manure.

●​ However, setup 3 (high concentration) produced the fewest leaves, suggesting that

excessive manure leads to nutrient and toxin overload, negatively affecting leaf

production.

●​ Low concentrations of manure benefit plant growth, while high concentrations can stunt

growth over time.

●​ Excessive manure may lead to nutrient toxicity, reducing both leaf production and overall

plant health.
5.2 Conclusion

This study found that hamster manure significantly affects the growth rate of Malunggay

(Moringa oleifera), depending on the amount used. Plants treated with low concentrations grew

faster, taller, and produced more leaves compared to non-treated plants, making hamster manure

a potential organic fertilizer. However, high concentrations caused stunted growth and fewer

leaves, likely due to nutrient overload. Within three weeks, treated plants showed noticeable

growth, but excessive manure led to negative effects. This suggests that while hamster manure

can boost plant growth, proper application is key to avoiding harm.

5.3 Recommendations

The following recommendations are offered for related research with the use of hamster manure

as fertilizer.

●​ Controlling the amount of sunlight the plant receives may increase the growth of the plant

and lessen the chance of it dying.

●​ Applying malunggay seeds instead of malunggay cuttings can lead to more plant

development, using cuttings can be difficult due to lack of root system to absorb water

and nutrients.

●​ Including more larger holes on the pots to improve the water flow and maintain moisture

of the plants.

●​ Ensuring the accuracy of timing when watering plants, a consistent time watering can

maintain optimal water for the plant making it develop more.


●​ Making the observation period longer can help understand how the plant grows. It can

lead to more accurate results because it is maintained longer.

●​ Asking gardeners for advice on how to grow the plant with hamster manure to achieve

accurate results and avoid death of the plant.
