Problem:
The use of different mediums in hydroponics
Hypothesis:
The use of both coco peat and shredded paper will have a better effect on the growth of the brassica rappa pekinesis (Chinese cabbage)
Independent Variable:
Number of seeds
Dependent Variable:
Growth rate of the Chinese cabbage
Outline:
I. Processes involved in the Production:
A. Photosynthesis
B. Water Cycle
II. Reasons:
A. To make plants grow twice as fast
B. More plants can be grown in smaller areas
C. It is less labour intensive
III. Benefits:
A. It saves space and water
B. Recycles waste and promotes alternative energy
C. It has tastier and healthier organic products
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants in a medium, other than soil, using mixtures of the essential plant nutrient elements dissolved in water. It is very useful because it doesn't need fertilization, cultivation, crop rotation, virtually has no weeds, is cleaner, has larger yields, less labour, better control, ease of starting off new plants and it is a means of upgrading poor plants. Hydroponics are also suitable for flat-dwellers in urban centres.
(Dudley Harris, Hydroponics: The Complete Guide to Gardening Without Soil,1992, New Holland Publishing, pg. 18,19 and 22).
Cocopeat can be used for hydroponics because it is eco-friendly alternative for to mined peat moss. It also holds a lot of water and has pH of 5.7 to 6.5.
(John Mason, Sustainable Agriculture,2003, Australia, Landlinks Press, pg. 192).
The researchers will be using Chinese cabbage as the test subject for whether or not it has faster growth rate. Chinese cabbage is suitable for testing because nutrient solution can either decrease or increase its growth rate.
