Effectiveness of Selected Organic Waste Materials in the Germination of Phaseolus aureus R (Mung Bean)

Abstract

The goal of this study is to create a pattern on how to make seeds germinate well, and what substances that are needed for them to germinate; as a guide for seed growers to produce seedlings in mass. This research is also a guide on how to produce the basic elements needed by the plants to grow, such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium from materials available at home that could be used as fertilizers. This study is expected to continue until a method on how to speed up seeds’ germination is formulated. The researchers prepared various organic waste materials containing elements such as Fish Emulsion for Phosphorus, Banana Peeling for Potassium and Rabbit Manure for Nitrogen which are used in a 5-day experiment of Phaseolus aureus R seeds, which are monitored daily by its growth on the length and number of roots, length of hypocotyl, number and length of primary leaves. The researchers found out that water is the most effective material to use in the germination of seeds which contains hydrogen and oxygen, produces the longest hypocotyl and longest primary leaf and the earliest substance to produce the leaf at the second day. This also proved that the seeds do not need such nutrients from fertilizer for them to germinate well because the commercial fertilizer was not able to make a seed grow.
