Effects of Chicken Manure and Sawdust for the Propagation of Tomato

(Solanum lycopersicum)

Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the Background of the Study, Statement of the Problem,

Objective of the Study, Hypothesis, Significance of the Study, Time and Place and

Definition of Terms.

Background of the Study

Chicken manure contains high nitrogen and has potassium and phosphorus. It

contains balance nutrients and high nitrogen that is why it is said to be the best fertilizer

to be used when planting. But if it is not properly composted it can be dangerous to the

plant. According to Rhoades (2018), composting manure can help to lessen the nitrogen

and make it fit for the plant as a fertilizer.

Sawdust has many uses in gardening and it has a cheap price. Sometimes it steal

nitrogen from the growing plants, but with the properly use of it, the plant will grow

because helping the soil to improve was made.

With this, the researchers conducted this study to find out the effects of chicken

manure and sawdust on the propagation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). This study

can give ideas to the people specifically farmers on the possible effects of using chicken

manure and sawdust on propagating tomatoes.

Objective of the Study

Generally the main problem of this study is the effects of Chicken Manure and

Sawdust to the Propagation of Tomato. The study will investigate and answer the

question “What are the different Effects of chicken manure and Sawdust for the

propagation of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum)”.

Specifically, this study aims to:

1. Determine the effects of chicken manure and sawdust on the propagation of tomato.

2. Identify the different factors that affect the propagation of Tomato when using chicken

manure and sawdust.

3. Know which is more effective in propagation of tomato.

Scope and Limitations

This study focuses on knowing the Effects of Chicken manure and Sawdust to the

propagation of Tomato, because of this, the researchers will mainly focus on using

Chicken Manure that will be collected from poultry farms and the Sawdust will be

manually made by the researchers. The observation of this study focuses on the certain

plant which is tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) the height, number of leaves and the

thickness of stem.

Significance of the Study

This study is about knowing the Effects of Chicken manure and Sawdust to the

propagation of Tomato, the results of the study will be beneficial to the following:

To the local Farmers- To give an alternative fertilizer

To the Community- To lessen the use of toxic fertilizer

To the Future Researchers- By providing reference for future studies related to the effect

of Chicken manure and Sawdust to the propagation of Tomato and knowledge about this

research.

Hypothesis

H: Chicken manure and sawdust is more effective to the propagation of tomato
