Abstract
The study aims to determine the effect of vermicompost on the growth of mung beans. It specifically aims to determine its effect on the height of mung beans in centimetres and on the number of leaves using four treatments in triplicates namely; Treatment A: 75% vermicompost + 25% common soil; Treatment B: 50% vermicompost + 50% common soil; Treatment C: 25% vermicompost + 75% common soil, and a control set-up using 100% common soil.
The mean was computed to determine the effect of the different treatments on the growth of mung beans in terms of height in centimetres and in the number of leaves.
The results include that Treatment A using 75% vermicompost + 25% common soil got the highest mean in terms of height (in cm) and has the most number of leaves.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that vermicompost greatly affect the growth of mung beans. The pure vermicompost offers an array of nutrients for the growing plants. Furthermore, it is recommended that vermicompost be used as organic fertilizer to plants.

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Population in the Philippines has been increasing steadily. Thus, the demand for food is also increasing. In order to boost crop production, farmers use inorganic fertilizers because they believe that they offer fast and greater crop yield. However, heavy

    AbstractDifferent pH level may affect the growth and development of the plants. Certain key words include: pH level, germination, acidity, osmosis and diffusion. This experiment examines the effects of different pH level of vinegar on the growth of bean plants. Materials used in this experiment consist of: water (pH 6), vinegar with the pH level of 3, 4 and 5 (each one were made before experiment), beans, soil, and pots. Eight bean plants were planted, two were watered with pH 6 and the other ones were each watered with pH 5, pH 4 and pH 3 vinegar. The results were that beans watered with pH 3 shrunk and began to die, pH 4 beans were growing at a slow rate, beans watered with pH 5 grew at a fairly normal pace and pH 6 grew the fastest. Overall, the more acidic the environment, the harder it is for plants to survive.…

    Caffeine can be introduced to the soil by sprinkling grounded coffee over the soil, adding leftover coffee to the pot or watering with a caffeine solution made by dissolving a caffeine tablet in water. The grounded coffee is actually organic matter and will help in adding nutrients to the soil. It will also attract worms that feed on the grounded coffee and at the same time help to aerate the soil.…

    The mung or moong bean[1] (also known as green gram or golden gram) is the seed of Vigna radiata,[2][3] native to the Indian subcontinent,[4] and mainly cultivated in India, China, The mung bean was domesticated in Mongolia, where its progenitor (Vigna radiata subspecies sublobata) occurs wild.[6][7] Archaeological evidence has turned up carbonized mung beans on many sites in India.[8] Areas with early finds include the eastern zone of the Harappan civilization in Punjab and Haryana, where finds date back about 4500 years, and South India in the modern state of Karnataka where finds date back more than 4000 years. Some scholars therefore infer two separate domestications in the northwest and south of India. In South India there is evidence for evolution of larger-seeded mung beans 3500 to 3000 years ago.[7] By about 3500 years ago mung beans were widely cultivated throughout India. Cultivated mung beans later spread from India to China and Southeast Asia. Archaeobotanical research at the site of Khao Sam Kaeo in southern Thailand indicates that mung beans had arrived in Thailand by at least 2200 years ago.[9] Finds on Pemba Island indicate that during the era of Swahili trade, in the 9th or 10th century, mung beans also came to be cultivated in AfricaMung bean starch, which is extracted from ground mung beans, is used to make transparent cellophane noodles (also known as bean thread noodles, bean threads, glass noodles, fensi (粉絲), tung hoon (冬粉), miến, bún tàu, or bún tào). Cellophane noodles become soft and slippery when they are soaked in hot water. A variation of cellophane noodles, called mung bean sheets or green bean sheets, are also available. In Korea, a jelly called nokdumuk (hangul: 녹두묵; also called cheongpomuk; hangul: 청포묵) is made from mung bean starch; a similar jelly, colored yellow with the addition of gardenia coloring, is called hwangpomuk (hangul: 황포묵). In northern China, mung bean jelly is called liangfen (凉粉, meaning chilled bean jelly), which…

    The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a fast growing plant and is used commonly in experiments due to its easy testability. It can grow in a variety of conditions and is easy to see the effects of different treatments. The idea of the treatment that we applied to our bean plants came from our class and scientific papers that help back our experiment. Examining many studies on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on a variety of plants helped us better understand what the fertilizer was doing to the plants. A study done on Brassica plants showed that when nitrogen fertilizer was introduced there was an increase in biomass production, causing lower stress brought on from B phytoextraction increasing plant growth (Chemosphere). A…

    Lima beans are an interesting crop of beans that grow in the warm season. They are native to Central America, but can be grown elsewhere. They are a very nutritious bean. They are high in protein, thiamine, riboflavin, and iron (Mierzejewski, 2009). The growth of lima beans is affected by both physical and nutritional factors. The physical factors include the pH of the soil (6.0 to 6.8), temperature range (60° and 70°F) and moisture content of the medium in which the organism is growing. The nutritional factors include the amount of Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorous, and other trace elements provided in the soil (LaLiberte, 1985).The purpose of the experiment was to investigate and observe the effect of the organic vs. synthetic fertilizers…

    36 bean plants were grown in potting soil. The same amount of soil was used in each pot and it had no added nutrients. The plants were grown under 24 hour light, for the same length of time. They were watered everyday with 22.18 milliliters of water. The amount of sugar in the water was either: no sugar, (control), 25 grams of sugar per liter of water, 50 grams of sugar per liter of water or 75 grams of sugar per liter of water. The plants grew for 28 days. Each plant was removed gently from the pot, rinsed in water, and measured. The roots and the plant itself were measured separately.…

    An investigation was carried out to compare the effect between inorganic and organic fertilizers on plant growth. Tomato seedlings were used, which were divided into 3 groups - the inorganic fertilizer group, the organic fertilizer group and the control group. Besides using different fertilizers, all of the seedlings were planted in the same condition. The result has shown that the plants using organic fertilizer has a faster and healthier growth in contrast to the inorganic group and the control group under the same environmental condition.…
