plant grows. It provides the systematic support and nutrient supply for plants that
Meanwhile, organic fertilizers are derived materials from animal and plant
waste (Kumar et. al., 1979). In addition to this, the use of chicken manure, an
organic fertilizer, would help to control and enhance the productivity of the soil.
According to McCall (1980), chicken manure are rich in nutrients which can be
potassium which are highly crucial to plant growth. It also increases the moisture-
Furthermore, rice water also benefits the productivity of the soil. In fact,
rice water has an effect on increasing the number of leaves and plant height.
Based on the study of Yulianingsih (2017), one of the contents of rice water is
helps to reduce compaction and crusting of the surface, and improves water
absorption into the soil. Wherein, it can improve the plant growth, tree
physiology, root growth and other physical properties (Black, 2009). Also,
the soil pH which means individual plants and soil organisms also vary in their
best for crop growth. However, optimum pH conditions for individual crops will

manure and rice water as a soil enhancer. They have also examined the
Potassium in the soil. This study would be very beneficial as one of the solutions
This study sought to answer the following question in order for the
researcher to determine the efficacy of using rice water and chicken manure as
soil enhancer:
1. What is the soil analysis results of the soil samples in terms of:
as observed in 2nd day, 4th day, and 6th day after the application of
treatment?
3. Is there a significant difference on the soil analysis before and after the
application of treatment?
Hypothesis
H0; There is no significant difference on the soil analysis before and after
presents in the soil namely the Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. The
researcher also sought to determine the significant difference on the soil analysis
before and after the integration of chicken manure and rice water to the soil
sample.
The study was conducted at General Santos City National High School,
Calumpang, General Santos City. The chicken manure was collected from the
City. And also, the rice water was collected from the researchers’ household.
Significance of the Study
The benefits and beneficiaries of the result of this study are the following:
Farmers. This study would help them in dealing soil problems by utilizing
Poultry owners. The manures from their poultry farm would be useful by
using it as an organic soil enhancer. They can benefit from it by using the
study to determine the efficacy of chicken manure and rice water as soil
enhancer. They can use the results in this study to know the presence of
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium before and after the application of chicken
researchers who will venture on soil analysis and determining the efficacy of
chicken manure and rice water as soil enhancer. They can cite this research as a
