 CHAPTER I : INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Pechay (Brassica rapa L.) is a famous vegetable in the Philippines. Otherwise

called snow cabbage, Chinese chard or Chinese white cabbage is burned-
through both as crude and cooked. Preferably, it is eaten crude to forestall
conceivable loss of its dietary benefit when warmed. It is a phenomenal kind
of revenue and a leisure activity in any event, for restricted space taking on
the exceptionally famous vertical cultivating with the utilization of reused
compartments as preparing media (Prado, et. al., 2013). Pechay is a significant
vegetable yield, plentiful in nutrient C and contains critical measures of
nitrogen compounds known as indoles, just as fiber - the two of which seem
to bring down the danger of different types of disease (Murray, 2005). Be that
as it may, natural pressure influences the vegetation. Dry spell is one of the
most significant abiotic stress factors which influence pretty much every parts
of plant development. Dry season or all the more for the most part, restricted
water accessibility is the fundamental factor restricting yield creation
(Seghatoleslami, et. al., 2008).

This kind of stress can firmly influence the pechay creation since it needs
great water system. Natural (vermicompost) and inorganic (urea) composts
will use to test the development of pruned pechay during dry spell.

Composts supplement the dirt with macronutrients required in huge sums:

nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Nonetheless, natural and inorganic
manures contain various fixings and supply these supplements in various
ways. Natural composts contain just plant-or creature based materials that
are either a side-effect or finished result of normally happening processes.
Inorganic compost is included engineered fake fixings fabricated and prepared
to use on plants. Compound and mineral stores regularly involve the
properties of this compost.

Ideally, your nursery's dirt would give every one of the supplements plants
need but since of various ecological pressure, soil's ability to supply the
supplements is influenced. The joined impacts of dry spell pressure
andpreparation on pechay are significant for the improvement of its
development. It is

important to lead this review to see whether the two composts can help the
pechay make due under dry spell pressure condition.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1. Determine the growth and yield performance of Pechay with varying level
of

fertilizers

2. Determine some physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil

3. Determine the ROI of the study

SCOPE AND LIMITATION

This study will be focus on determining the growth and yield performance of
Pechay plant applied with organic and inorganic fertilizers, determine some
soil physical and chemical properties in the area and the ROI of the study.

This study conducted at Sitio San Lazaro, Tariric Minalabac, Camarines Sur
from October 2021 to December 2021.
 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Mulching has forever been an incredible assistance for ranchers and landscapers.
It diminishes work needed in development, since arising and little weeds die
under their dim hindrance. Thusly, mulching decreases the requirement for
culturing and the utilization of weed-control synthetics. Water is rationed on the
grounds that mulches lessen the dissipation of soil dampness by bringing down
the dirt temperature. Water assimilation by a mulched soil is more noteworthy
than that of an unmulched soil. Mulch additionally forestalls the arrangement of
soil outside layers. Also, soil misfortune from weighty downpour and wind is
diminished. As a result, mulches are superb protection specialists.

These days, numerous ranchers use mulches to establish vegetables. Vegetables

like peppers, tomatoes, squash, eggplant and others are normally the ones being
mulched. Pechay plants are additionally being mulched since it grows best during
cool climate. Hence, it needs dampness and incessant watering. Assuming it is
being mulched, ranchers can save since they don't need to water them regular
(Robert R. Westerfiel; http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/agriculture/veg-
mulch.html)

Mulches can either be natural, for example, grass clippings, straw, bark chips, and
comparative materials - or inorganic, for example, stones, block chips, and plastic.
Both natural and inorganic mulches have various advantages.

Inorganic mulches have their place in specific scenes; they come up short on the
dirt further developing properties of natural mulches. Inorganic mulches, due to
their lastingness, might be hard to eliminate on the off chance that you choose to
change your nursery plans sometime in the not too distant future.
While natural mulches work on the state of the dirt. As these mulches gradually
break down, they give natural matter which helps keep the dirt free. This further
develops root development, expands the invasion of water, and furthermore
further develops the water-holding limit of the dirt. Natural matter is a wellspring
of plant supplements and gives an optimal climate to night crawlers and other
gainful soil living beings
(http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/FEATURE/patio/mulching.html).

EFFECTS OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER

Natural manure is a decent wellspring of supplements for the dirt. It further

develops the dirt's physical, compound and natural attributes. This review was led
to assess the development and yield execution of pechay applied with various
degrees of manure as natural compost and decides the impact of natural compost
as far as plant tallness, number of leaves per plant, new weight per plant and leaf
region.

The consequence of the review showed that utilization of natural manure

enormously upgraded development and yield execution of Pechay. Results
showed that the use of fertilizer further developed the dirt qualities; expanded
soil efficiency and natural matter substance.

EFFECTS OF INORGANIC FERTILIZER

One benefit inorganic manures offer is that they are effective. These supplement
rich salts break up rapidly and are promptly accessible to the plants relying upon
them to give fundamental sustenance as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Appropriately, abuse of inorganic manures has caused soil, air, and water
contaminations through supplement filtering, obliteration of soil actual qualities,
aggregation of harmful synthetic substances in water bodies, etc [4], just as
creating extreme ecological issues and loss of biodiversity.

However substance manures increment crop creation; their abuse has solidified
the dirt, diminished richness, fortified pesticides, dirtied air and water, and
delivered ozone harming substances, subsequently carrying dangers to human
wellbeing and climate also.

As a rule, the inordinate and unseemly utilization of compound composts in crop

soils cause land corruption and misfortunes in soil fruitfulness around the world.
Philippine ranchers are beginning to see these issues.

CHARACTERISTIC OF PECHAY

Pechay is normal vegetables planted in the Philippines. This is the quickest

vegetable to collect in pretty much 45 days. This fills well in the tropical nations in
which there are high wellspring of daylight. Be that as it may, today let us become
familiar with the pieces of pechay.

 Pechay Seeds

The pechay seeds is a piece of pechay in which it is the place where the vegetable
develops. The pechay seeds attributes are little and shading dark.

It resembles a little bits of soil which difficult to see when it tumbles to the
ground. The pechay seeds use to develop the vegetables. The seeds cost around
$1 per pack. Each pack has many seeds around 100+ seeds.

Sprouting pechay seeds is simple. Simply get a seed plate or seed box, then, at
that point, put some dirt in every compartment. After that put the seeds, cover
with soil, and water it later. Barely any days it will begin sprouting.

 Pechay Leaves

The pechay leaves is a piece of a pechay in which it makes food of the plant. At
the point when the daylight hits the leaves, it makes a creation in which the
daylight go inside the leaves and it interaction to fill in as food.

More daylight will gives more better and greater size leaves. The daylight is one
central point of having a healtheir pechay. The daylight fills in as nutrients to the
plant in which it develops well.
The leaves qualities resemble an oval to adjust shape, it is smooth, and the leaves
are shading green. This part is inclined to bug like worm in which they obliterate it
through eating the leaves.

 Pechay Roots

The pechay roots is a piece of pechay in which it sends water and minerals to the
plant. The roots additionally support the pechay to stand and becomes on the
dirt.

The supplements content on the dirt was going inside the roots and move it to
each piece of the plants. This part likewise is the primary entry wherein when the
manure is being applied, the roots will get it first.

The foundations of the pechay qualities are delicate, little, and short.

 Pechay Stalk

The pechay tail is a piece of the pechay leaves. At the point when you see the
pechay vegetable, it is the piece of the leaves principally white.

It is the foundation of the leaves and the significant collection of pechay. This
makes the plant solid as it upholds every one of the leaves well.

Through the stalks, the nutrients and minerals coming from the dirt is being move
to the leaves. The food sources likewise produce of the leaves ships off the
pechays body and to the roots.

 Pechay Flower

The pechay bloom is a piece of pechay in which it goes to seed later. The blossom
has a delightful appearance when we see it. This is little yet it is appealing. This
part grows somewhat not many cm.

It is difficult to get seeds assuming you are amateur. Be that as it may, the master
in horticulture know how. Assuming we figure out how it was done most likely it
will be all the more simple for us to becomes effectively a pechay vegetable.
 CHAPTER III : MATERIALS AND METHODS

RESEARCH DESIGN

The study used an experimental research design. In research designs, the

experimental design is commonly referred to as the "gold standard." In this
design, the researcher manipulates one or more independent variables, and
people are randomly assigned to various treatment levels, with the impact of the
treatments on outcomes being observed.

a) Experimental Site

This study was conducted at Sitio San Lazaro, Tariric Minalabac, Camarines Sur
from October 2021 to December 2021.

Tariric is a barangay in the municipality of Minalabac, in the province of

Camarines Sur. Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was 3,082. This
represented 5.71% of the total population of Minalabac.

b) Collection of Soil Samples and Analysis

Using a shovel and bolo, we dug up the ground for our experiment. Each hole was
bored to a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters, a thickness of 2 to 5 centimeters, and a
breadth of 5 to 10 centimeters. We take soil from ten holes and combine it to
make one kilogram for soil analysis and six kilos for each soil sample. 16
polyethylene bags are used to hold the soil samples.

c) Test Plant

The test plant is picked at random from the pechay seeds that have germinated.

Determination of Physical Properties of the Soil

a) Soil Texture

The soil surface of the dirt example we used in this analysis was sandy topsoil.
There is a piece that is delicate, a segment that is firm and plece that is sandy. The
soil surfaces gave the best condition to developing pechay. It likewise has a high
pH and dietary quality.

b) Soil Color

Our soil examples shading range from brown to dark. Showing that the soil we
utilized contains a critical level of natural materials.

c) Soil Consistency

The test site in soil structure was granular. Granular soil might hold more water
and minerals. Subsequently it is idealfor delivering crops and different vegetables.

Experimental Design and Layout Cultural Management

a) Land Preparation

Experimental area used approximately 1/2 hectare.

The investigation utilized 6 kilogram of soil for each pot in randomized total
square plan with four (4)treatment.

The following treatment were assigned per pot :

T1 - Control

T2 - Full recommended fertilizer

T3 - Organic fertilizer

T4 - 50% organic and 50% inorganic

b) Planting

The seed confine was put a divider shielded spot away from downpour and direct
daylight. Pechay seedings are relocated into pots. We coordinated the 16 soil pots
as indicated by the medicines. We set 2 to 3 pechay seedlings in each pot and
watered it consistently. To lessen relocating pressure, seedlings were relocated
late in the early evening. When transplantation, the seedlings were fittingly
watered.

The treatment 1 is unadulterated soil. The main treatment we do is the control.

The treatment 2 was treated with full suggested compost.

c) Fertilizer Management

The treatment 1 is unadulterated soil. The main treatment we do is the control.

The treatment 2 was treated with full suggested manure. After we relocate the
developed seedlings of pechay, we applied 14-14-14 or the complete manure
with 1.17 grams per pot in treatment 2. Following 7 days, we applied the 17-0-17
manure with 0.24 grams per pot and in conclusion, following 14 days, we applied
urea with 0.44 grams per pot. The treatment 3 is the full natural which we
involved chicken excrement as the natural manure. The treatment 4 is the blend
of half natural and half inorganic compost.
d) Pest Management

The green worm is the most common nuisance of pechay plants. We showered
hot pepper extricate on pechay. This permits us to direct and keep away from
harm to the pechay plants and we likewise bought insect poisons at the market.

e) Harvesting

The collecting of pechay plant was done following 21 days in the wake of
relocating. We reap our plant in the early evening. After gathering, we trin some
rotting leaves and eliminated the roots. The gathering is finished by clipping the
stems at the dirt level with some scissors. After we assemble the plants, we
estimated the height and width of pechay likewise their leaves.

For each treatment, we get the average height and width and cout the leaves:

Height Width Leaves

Treatment 1 6 inches 3 inches 5 to 6 per plant

Treatment 2 7 to 9 inches 3 to 5 inches 6 to 8 per plant

Treatment 3 9 inches 3 to 5 inches 6 to 9 per plant

Treatment 4 9 inches 5 inches 7 to 9 per plant
