    This study examines the use of dried papaya leaves as an organic mulch for plants. It hypothesizes that dried papaya leaves are a feasible organic mulch. The study will use a two group design to test mulch applications of 15mm and 50mm on plants. Statistical analysis will use the Mann-Whitney U test instead of the t-test because it is more robust and widely applicable for ordinal data. The goal is to determine if dried papaya leaves can control weeds, retain soil moisture, and enrich the soil as an organic mulching alternative.

    STUDY OF

    DRIED PAPAYA
    (Carica) LEAVES
    AS ORGANIC
    MULCH TO By:

    Rationale

    Farmers around the world and people who love to plant are experiencing dicfficulty due to
    insects being an annoying thing to their crops leading the crop to slow down its growth

    Philippines had been trough a tough obstacle when typhoon Haiyan strutted in the Northern
    Philippines and destroyed hectares of land for crop production and irrigated agriculture which is
    one of the main source of food food production for tha past decades. Due to this kind of
    problem, people around the world are looking for their own way of organic ground covering that
    could help problems about land damge that affects crop production.

    Mulching in agriculture provides a safe yet eqally profitable in the process of enriching and
    fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition, such
    as barks. Unlike synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, these organic mulches pose no little
    damage tothe soil and crops.

    And now generally speaking, the researchers will join the race of finding organic ground
    covering.
    Theoretical
    Background
    This study assumes that Dried Carica Papaya Leaves is feasible
    organic mulch to plants.

    This study is anchored on Mulching Principle. Agronomy Technical


    Note No. 8

    Mulching Principle stated that organic mulches are being applied to


    the land that you could consider what you wil do to the mineralization
    of Nitrogen (N).

    Mulching Principle also stated that what type of site to select, type of
    mulch to use a specific plant, erosoin control mats, and porous
    synthetic weed barriers.
    Reseach Design
    Process
    Research Method

    The proponent will use the two group design to this precise
    study. The design is most appropriate because there are two
    comparable groups that are employed and are both
    experimental groups.

    The experimental groups are the two diffenrent measiremt of


    mulch applied, 15 mm and 50 mm
    Suggestions
    It is better to use Mann-Whitney U test
    than T-test

    The MannWhitney U test remains the logical choice when the data are ordinal but not interval scaled, so that
    the spacing between adjacent values cannot be assumed to be constant.

    When normality holds, the MannWhitney U test has an (asymptotic) efficiency of 3/ or about 0.95 when
    compared to the t-test. For distributions sufficiently far from normal and for sufficiently large sample sizes, the
    MannWhitney U test is considerably more efficient than the t-test

    Overall, the robustness makes the MannWhitney U test more widely applicable than the t-test, and for large
    samples from the normal distribution, the efficiency loss compared to the t-test is only 5%, so one can
    recommend the MannWhitney U test as the default test for comparing interval or ordinal measurements with
    similar distributions.
