CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Pechay (Brassica napus L. var. Black Behi) is an important vegetable crop that is
high in vitamin C and has a number of other nutrients substantial levels of
nitrogen molecules called as indoles, as well as fiber—both of which are present
in significant amounts to reduce the incidence of cancer in several kinds. It has
been carefully grown to produce a plant that is resistant to disease has a life
cycle of 30-45 days, which is quite short (Acero, 2013).
It increases the nutrient content of the leaves and improves the nutritious
content of the various plant components (roots, stems, etc.) (both the shoots
and the fruits).
The pith within a coconut husk is used to make coco peat soil. Its antifungal
properties make it a great seed starter, but it's also used in rugs, ropes, brushes,
and as stuffing. In addition to gardening, coco peat is used as a soil additive,
potting mix, and in hydroponics. Because coco coir is so environmentally
beneficial, it can be reused. It will function flawlessly again after a quick rinse
and strain. When coco peat is compared to soil, the peat stores far more water
and releases it gradually to plant roots. Potassium, zinc, iron, manganese, and
copper are all present in abundance. (Certified Urban Agriculturist Bonnie L.

Our research demonstrates the beauty of various fertilizers, and I believe they
are both good and bad for the crop, as well as the farmer who utilizes them. I
can see the beauty and distinctiveness of the two fertilizers right here. Is my
cocopeat crop truly fatter and better, or is it really better to use vermicompost as
a fertilizer? This is only one of the queries asked by farmers who use various
fertilizers.
This study aims to show the Comparative analysis of the effects of cocopeat
and vermicompost as fertilizer on the growth of pechay
1. Height of plant
2. Weight of plant
3. Growth of plant
Assumption of the Study
The following hypothesis was tested for significance and rejection. There is a
significant difference in the growth of pechay (Brassica Rapa) using cocopeat
and vermicompost as fertilizer and there is no significant difference in the growth
of pechay (Brassica Rapa) using cocopeat and vermicompost as fertilizer. The
farmers have different decisions to make when it comes to purchasing. They
choices may differ according to their perceptions, reasons of purchasing a
fertilizer, and interests in plants. There are also many factors that influence
farmers to use vermicompost as fertilizer. Farmers spend a lot of time and effort
caring for and producing their crops, so it's crucial for them to be able to do so in
a plentiful and nutritious manner, so they'll have things to consider, such as
whether to use cocopeat or vermicompost as a fertilizer.
Definition of Terms
Synthesis
Theoretical Framework
Morgan Kelly's theory of smart plants states that plants can actively behave in
ways that benefit them while also determining the productivity and composition
of their environment. This theory is relevant to the current study because the
researcher will test how the pechay plant (Brassica ripa) reacts to organic
fertilizers (Vermicompost and Cocopeat).
