The study presents an important contribution to sustainable agriculture by evaluating Ipil-Ipil as an organic liquid fertilizer for lettuce. The experimental design is well-structured, ensuring a clear comparison between the control, organic, and commercial fertilizer treatments. Using growth rate and T-Test analysis will provide quantitative insights into the effectiveness of Ipil-Ipil as an organic liquid fertilizer. The study found that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of Ipil-Ipil leaves compared to commercial fertilizer on the growth rate of lettuce plants. With a t-statistic of 1.00 and a t-critical value of 12.7062, the null hypothesis was accepted. This indicates that Ipil-Ipil leaves can serve as an alternative fertilizer, demonstrating its potential as an effective organic option for growing lettuce plants. In summary, this research provides a useful resource for future researchers interested in studying organic fertilizers and improving agricultural practices.
