Determ<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> a more effective method <strong>of</strong> fertilizer<br />

application for aryza sativa<br />

Stephanie Anne A Oliveros, Maricris B Palmares, Sh<strong>in</strong>y Cathlynne S Yu<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Root zone and broadcast methods <strong>of</strong> fertilizer application for oryza sativa<br />

were done <strong>in</strong> order to establish a ma<strong>the</strong>matical correlation <strong>of</strong> plant growth rate<br />

with <strong>the</strong> amount and depth <strong>of</strong> fertilizer application, with a view to optimiz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

use <strong>of</strong> fertilizers for maximum yield <strong>of</strong> rice plants.<br />

Thirty-six (36) rice plots were prepared with each plot receiv<strong>in</strong>g ei<strong>the</strong>r 0.5<br />

gram, 1.0 gram or 1.5 grams <strong>of</strong> urea that are applied through broadcast, 2-cm, 4<br />

c-cm, or 6-cm root zone application. The growth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rice plants, <strong>the</strong> Nitrogen-<br />

Phosphorous-Potassium (NPK) content, pH level, and temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> soil <strong>in</strong><br />

each plot were checked every week.<br />

Results show that, on <strong>the</strong> average, rice plants receiv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> root zone<br />

application treatment have grown more than those receiv<strong>in</strong>g broadcast<br />

distribution. Nonl<strong>in</strong>ear regression analysis and multiple regression analysis<br />

correlat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al yield <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rice plants to <strong>the</strong> various soil conditions and<br />

method <strong>of</strong> fertilizer application showed that <strong>the</strong> depth and amount <strong>of</strong> fertilizer<br />

application should be around 4.0 cm and 0.50 grams per 20x27cm 2 , respectively,<br />

<strong>in</strong> order to yield <strong>the</strong> optimum amount <strong>of</strong> harvested rice. O<strong>the</strong>r factors such as <strong>the</strong><br />

NPK content, pH level, and temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> soil did not yield sufficient results<br />

to be <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>the</strong>matical analysis.<br />

The project was able to establish that root zone application is a more<br />

efficient way <strong>of</strong> apply<strong>in</strong>g fertilizer <strong>in</strong> order to achieve <strong>the</strong> maximum yield at a<br />

m<strong>in</strong>imal amount <strong>of</strong> fertilizer per a unit area. The equations can be used for <strong>the</strong><br />

programm<strong>in</strong>g a future device that will help farmers <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> fertilizer<br />

at an optimal level.<br />

The effectiveness <strong>of</strong> pandanus Odoratissimus(pandan<br />

mabango) as an analgesic<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

This project was conducted to verify folk medic<strong>in</strong>e repots that Pandanus<br />

odoratissimus has analgesic properties. The effectiveness <strong>of</strong> pandan leaf extract<br />

<strong>in</strong> reliev<strong>in</strong>g pa<strong>in</strong> was determ<strong>in</strong>ed us<strong>in</strong>g Mus musculus as <strong>the</strong> animal model, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> most effective dosage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> extract was estimated.
