I. Problem
How do dry Papaya leaves affect the growth of Tomato plants? II. Title
Utilizing dried Papaya leaves as mulch for Tomato plants III. Rationale
Dried papaya leaves make an ideal organic mulch, providing warmth and nutrition to the tomato plant, while also helping to prevent the growth of unwanted weeds and proliferation of diseases, as well as protecting them from soil borne pests. The best mulches, such as mulch created with dried papaya leaves, are used to add height and width to tomato plants. The nutrients and chemical composition of dried papaya leaves makes these leaves very effective fertilizers for tomato plants.

IV. Materials * Papaya leaves * Microwave oven * Soil for the Tomato plant * Sunlight

V. Procedure * Prepare all the materials needed. * Dry all the Papaya leaves. * Alternatively zap them in the microwave on a low heat until dry. (Actually we have 2 other ways in drying the Papaya leaves, but we chose this one because I think it is the easiest and it won’t take too much time for us to do the project.) * Once dry apply, the mulch at roughly around two to three inches thick on the soil bed and around the base of the tomato plants. * Put the plant in a direct sunlight for about 2 to 3 or 4 weeks. VI. Implication
If this project will be successful, it will help us and those people who have and farmers in saving money in buying expensive fertilizers for plants. We can use this Dried Papaya leaves as Mulch not only for Tomato plants, but also to most plants, because it brings the soil’s pH level to a more neutral range, which makes it as the preference of most plants. We also helped in the environment because we recycled things in a useful way.

    In this study, the effectiveness of dried papaya leaves as organic mulch for tomato was tested. Papaya mulches in different thickness were applied on plots planted with tomato in three replications. After the determined period of mulch application, the researchers application, the researchers measured the height increases of tomato plants and the weed density in the plots. It was concluded that papaya mulch significantly promoted height increase of tomato plants and inhibited the growth of weeds. The best mulch was 3 inches in thickness.…

    Decomposition

    • 478 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The term decomposition is the process of breaking down dead organisms to reuse them. Decomposition allows nutrients in organisms to become free after they die or have become old and they are ready to be used by living plants and animals for their growth. Without decomposition useful nutrients would remain locked inside of a dead organism and it would be very difficult for new life to grow. Most of the nutrients that are essential for the plants we get our food from are the result of decomposition. This makes decomposition necessary for new life to flourish. Without decomposition life would practically cease to exist after one cycle. In this case decomposition is very necessary for the life of a farmer. The project determines which type of environment makes vegetables decompose the fastest. Which is important because some people decompose things for a living to help the environment and if they knew the type of atmosphere that would speed up the process then it would get done a lot quicker. Decomposition is used by many people and for all different reasons. This project specifically focuses on the decomposition of vegetable which people would use to help fertilize plants.…

    Start tomatoes by sowing seed in a hotbed in spring, or start them in flats in the house and plant them in the open ground when all danger of frost is passed. They require well-manured soil, and when there is a limited supply of fertilizer, it will be well to put two or three spadefuls in each hill, spreading it over a couple of square feet of surface, as the tomato makes considerable root growth. Plant in rows, four feet apart each way if no support is to be given, three feet if the plants are to be grown on racks or trellises.…

    Tomatoes being a very sensitive plant require these nutrients more and as a result using compost helps them gain those nutrients. The nitrogen in the compost which will be absorbed helps plants grow quickly whilst also allowing the leaves to stay green. Nitrogen also aids in photosynthesis as it helps with the green pigment, chlorophyll. Phosphorus encourages the growth of roots, and helps with the growth of the plant. Potassium also assists in photosynthesis, the fruit quality, the building of protein, and the reduction of disease. Therefore since all those nutrients are present in the compost, the tomatoes which were grown in the compost based soil were provided with these nutrients and as a result produced more yield and had a greater change in height. However since the tomatoes that was grown in the normal based soil did not contain these nutrients they were not given the necessary boost and thus caused the yield to be less and the height to grow relatively…

    Time and again farmers, plant growers, and backyard owners of vegetable garden have been complaining of rising cost of inorganic fertilizers such as complete and Urea. The result is that they disregard the use of these fertilizers and left their plants without it. In the end, the result is low produce and their plants are malnourished and worst less fruit. This Science Investigatory Project (SIP) entitled “Left-Over Rice: A Cheap and Practical Compost Enhancer for 28-32 days” was conducted in order to answer the problems of the farmers and plant growers. With this project, we used left-over rice from the canteens and from our households. Other materials were vegetable trimmings, fruit peelings like banana in which we got from wet markets. This Project is very useful to the community in general because they can make use of their biodegradable waste into productive use such as compost. On the other hand, compost are cheap and environment friendly organic fertilizers which can make the plants grow healthy as well as the soil fertile. The biodegradable waste such as rice instead of throwing them away can be made useful. In the end, this project will be a solution to the problem on poverty and hunger. The increase in farm output will effect additional income to the farmers. The abundant farm output can solve the problem in hunger. The community as well, can sell this compost, thereby augmenting also their household income.…
