ABSTRACT
CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Organic Fertilizers have organic materials that serve as both fertilizer and
soil conditioner. It gives plants a light nutrient boost or snack. This are the
advantages as well as appealing to environment friendly users. Saba banana
peels are packed with nutrients which are Vitamin B16 and B12 as well as
magnesium and potassium. Adding banana peels around plants wide spread
gardening practice that can improve your soil. Cabbage outer leaves are rich in
minerals such as calcium, potassium, iodine, phosphorous, sodium and sulfur.
Hydroponics System is a method of growing plants in nutrient solutions
without soil to provide mechanical support to plants. Pechay (Pak Choy) is a
cabbage. It is one of the most known vegetables in the Philippines. The Pechay
differs in many aspects from other (for instance European) cabbages. The leaves
of the Pechay vary in length from 10 to 30 cm. The leaves are green and mild
flavored and less crisp than other cabbages.
The purpose of the study is to produce a nutrient solution or liquid
fertilizers made out of Saba banana peels and cabbage outer leaves and create
an organic fertilizer without unstable chemical like ammium phosphates in
commercialized fertilizers.
Statement of a Problem

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDIES
Related Literature
Musa paradisiaca Linnis a species of banana native in Southeast Asia. It
is the progenitor of modern edible bananas. First cultivated at around 8000 BC.
(Chandramita Bora, 2011). It is one of the earliest examples of domesticated
plants.
Saba Banana Peels are rich in Dietary Fiber, Proteins, Essential Amino
Acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and potassium, good source of arytenoids.
(Asian Journal of Food and Industry, 2011)
Saba banana peels can be an alternative fertilizer and a good insecticide
to plants found in lawns. This will create a good and big help t other household
with more plants since there are no insects found in the plants, and gives
potassium to the soil, making the soil fertilized. (Anderson, 2009)
Cabbage is very popular vegetable that belongs to the family Brassicaceae. This
plant is closely related to broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Domestic
varieties originate from wild cabbage that naturally grows in England and
Mediterranean areas. Cabbage requires a lot of waters and nutrients such as
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for successful growth.Cabbage peels have
rich source of vitamins C, K, B6 and B9 and minerals such as manganese.
(www. nutrition-and-you.com/cabbage.html)
Organic fertilizers powdered organic fertilizers are available commercially and
add the full complement of nutrients. Organic matter like banana peels returned
to the soil helps activate microbes which in turn release the minerals into the soil
so
the
plants
can
uptake
them
more
effectively.
(http://agriculturesociety.com/tag/organic-fertilizer/ ).
The difference between hydroponic, organic and regular fertilizers are both
hydroponic fertilizers and those intended for use in soil contain the three major
nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The major difference in
hydroponic fertilizers is that they contain the proper amounts of all the essential
micro-nutrients which fertilizers intended for use with soil do not. The plants are
expected to find these elements in the soil, assuming that the trace elements are
in fact present.
Problems can arise for the plants if any or all of the micro-nutrients are not
present in the soil or are depleted by successive (or excessive) plantings.
Hydroponic fertilizers are usually in a more refined form with fewer impurities
making them both more stable and soluble for better absorption. Organic
fertilizers, in most cases, are very different than either hydroponic or soil
fertilizers both in composition and how they deliver the nutrient to the plants.
Organic fertilizers rely on the synergistic action of bacteria and microbes to break
down nutritional substances for easier uptake by the plants.
Organic fertilizers have been known to improve biodiversity (soil life) and longterm productivity of soil, and may prove a large depository for excess carbon
dioxide. Organic nutrients increase the abundance of soil organisms by providing
organic matter and micronutrients for organisms. Organic fertilizers are carbon
based
compounds
that
increase
the
productivity
of
plants.
(https://prezi.com/lc57sie-2mbs/investigatory-project-final/)
Hydroponic and soil fertilizers provide nutrients in a ready-to-use form. While
once, they were mutually exclusive, in recent years a number of outstanding
organic fertilizers have hit the market in formulations refined enough for use in
hydroponics. (http://www.simplyhydro.com/whatis.htm)
Pechay is a leafy vegetable that needs regular watering and the soil
should be all drained, highly fertile, friable and rich in organic matter. Pechay
should not be exposed to strong winds, especially when they are maturing,
because strong wind can either uproot the plant or destroy its leaves. Neither
should it be exposed to extreme heat, because the leaves will wilt due to faster
evaporation of moisture (Avenir, n.d.). Pechay does not need plenty of sunlight to
provide the much needed energy for the manufacture of food (Avenir, n.d.).
The Pechay plant grows vigorously on soils rich in organic matter,
particularly nitrogen (N). This is one reason why in Baguio, farms receive heavy
manure from crop to crop in addition to supplemental application of chemical
fertilizers. Aside from soil variations, different commercial varieties vary in their
nutritional requirements for optimum head production. In Baguio, the application
of 12-12-12 fertilizer at the rate of 600 kg/ha has resulted in heavy yields (30- 35
tons/ha) of good quality heads (Philippine Vegetable Growing Guide, 2009).

(Triticum aestivum L.) yield and quality, but little is known regarding the effects of
interactions between these two factors on the amount and size distribution of
protein fractions and quality traits. We grew the bread wheat cultivar Jinan17 in
two successive seasons (20122013 and 20132014) at three densities of
120 plants m2 (low), 180 plants m2 [the usual rate for a multiple-spike cultivar
with high tillering ability in the North China Plain (NCP)], and 240 plants m2
(high) and two levels of N fertilisation of 0 (low N availability treatment without N
fertilisation) and 240 kg ha1 (the usual N rate for winter wheat production in the
NCP) to evaluate the effect of N level plant density interaction on grain yield,
grain protein concentration, the amount and composition of protein fractions,
dough development time, dough stability time, and loaf volume. The effect of
plant density on Jinan 17 grain yield and quality differed between the two N
levels. As plant density increased, all the parameters listed above decreased
under 0 kg ha1 N fertilisation, but increased under 240 kg ha1 N fertilisation.
Stepwise regression analysis showed that the dough rheological properties and
breadmaking quality of Jinan 17 were affected by plant density under both N
levels, primarily through changes in the polymerisation degree of glutenins in the
flour.

In the study Highly Variable Fungal Diversity and the Potential
Occurrence Of Plant Pathogenic Fungi In Potting Media, Organic Fertilizers And
Composts Originating From 14 Countries, by Via G. Amendola.Potting media,
organic fertilizers and composts are widely used by growers in different parts of
the world. This study was conducted to investigate the diversity of fungi in 46
potting media products, 17 organic fertilizer products and 9 compost products
originating from 14 countries. Fungal diversity was evaluated using direct plating
and the identification of fungal isolates was based on morphology and sequences
of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal RNA (ITS rRNA).
Analysis showed that Sordariomycetes and Eurotiomycetes (Ascomycota) were
the most dominant classes in potting media, organic fertilizers and composts.
Evaluation of products from the USA and European and Asian countries revealed
that they have high fungal diversity, especially products from The Netherlands.
Trichoderma, Aspergillus and Penicillium predominated in most samples.
Simplicillium, Cladosporium, Bionectria, Alternaria, and Fusarium were recovered
at different frequencies from samples of potting media. Fusarium spp. was
recovered at high frequencies from samples of organic fertilizers, and organic
and non- organic composts. Findings show that most of the products are
dominated by saprophytic fungi and fungi with potential biocontrol characteristics.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
Conclusion
Based on results and analysis of data, the researchers therefore conclude
that adding seaweeds as fertilizer for tomato plants enhances the plants growth.
And that the use fresh seaweed fertilizer in growing tomato plants has greater
effect than the dried one.
Recommendation
Since the study is still on-going, the obtained result is not too conclusive.
Observations which include up to flowering and fruiting of tomatoes must be
done and the final data to be obtained is the amount of tomato harvested per
plant per treatment. The said seaweed fertilizers must also be tested with other
plants like ornamental plants. This is the reason why the researchers made an
on-going back up study entitled The Effect of Adding Dried and Fresh Seaweeds
to Orchids Grown in Paper Medium.
