2. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Organic fertilizers can be easily produced by fertilizer granulators and provide nutrients necessary for plant growth, with the benefit of being slower-acting and gentler
than chemical fertilizers, so that you are less likely to overfeed and chemically burn your plants. And organic fertilizers are not in a form that is immediately absorbed
by plants, but rather must be first broken down by soil bacteria and fungi into forms that plants can absorb. This means that, unlike chemical fertilizers, organic
fertilizers are not easily washed away in a heavy rainstorm or irrigation session, and that the plants get the benefit of nutrients for growth more evenly over a longer
period rather than all at once.
In addition, organic fertilizers are naturally available mineral sources that contain moderate amounts of plant essential nutrients. They are capable of mitigating
problems associated with synthetic fertilizers; they reduce the necessity of repeated application of synthetic fertilizers to maintain soil fertility. And it gradually releases
nutrients into the soil solution and maintains nutrient balance for the healthy growth of crop plants. It also acts as an effective energy source for soil microbes which in
turn improves soil structure and crop growth. Organic fertilizers are generally thought to be slow-releasing fertilizers and they contain many trace elements. Organic
fertilizers are safer alternatives than chemical fertilizers.
In other words, This fertilizer's main good effect on the plants fertilizer name is corn husk fertilizer as stated by plants corn husk has been regarded as one of the best
sources of fertilizer giving faster growth plant called the corn husk fertilizer/CHF this product contains fat in this plant that will not in various of which is the corn husk
which is the most important to make a fertilizer to be used in plant cause this fertilizer can improve plants growth and this fertilizer called the corn husk fertilizer know
as CHF this is the first time in the history that the corn husk can make fertilizer this fertilizer have a naturally available mineral source that contains a moderate amount
of plants essential nutrients. With this fertilizer the farmers they good plants and also healthy foods because this is affordable and also can save money because this is
all-natural.
Corn husk, a lignocellulosic fiber generally discarded as waste, has the potential of being explored as a textile fiber. Corn or maize is the second-largest agricultural
crop in the world. Cultivation of corn generates stover (stalk, leaves, and husks) by-products that have been considered for a variety of uses. After treatment, the fibers
are washed to remove the dissolved substances and short fibers. An additional enzyme treatment may be required to remove hemicellulose and lignin and to obtain finer
fibers. The typical yield of fibers from husks or stalks varies from 10 to 30 percent depending on the severity of the treatment and the quality of fibers desired.
The main environmental benefit of using corn husk fiber is the conservation of land and resources since you get fiber and food from the same plant. Corn husk is
commonly available, with no geographical limitations, and is of limited commercial value. Therefore, corn husks show greater promise in providing large quantities of
natural cellulose fibers with significant economic benefits than any other agricultural by-product.
3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. How efficient does the corn husk (CHF) fertilizer work in
terms of?
A.) Corn growth
B.) Fattening the corn
2. How many days are needed to grow corn using Corn Husk
Fertilizer?
3. What is the difference between corn husk to local fertilizer?
4. SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY this kind of technology has a great contribution to plant business. This fertilizer
gives many advantages to plant growth in terms of saving energy less effort will be needed and fewer expenses and
more production means more income.
COMMUNITY A newly proposed Corn husk Fertilizer can help the increased production of plants which have been
the major source of fertilizer and income for the community. Furthermore, using the device can reduce the plant for
the traditional way of Corn Fertilizer thus making it convenient for the workers.
PLANT GROWERS The corn husk fertilizer will serve as a reference for educators for future studies and sharing of
new information with student researchers.
TEACHER The corn husk fertilizer will serve as a reference for educators for future studies and the sharing of new
information with student researchers.
RESEARCHERS The Researcher can expand their knowledge and ability to produce a fertilizer that is beneficial in
rural vicinity. They can be recognized as they showcase their prototype and contribution to the community. As for the
future researcher, they can gain knowledge and create additional or comparative research to further study the
proposed fertilizer
5. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study focuses on corn husk fertilizer for growing plants. The year, sex, and family
background are included in the involved corn husk fertilizer. The researchers choose one farmer in
Pilar Sorsogon months January to April as we estimate respondents to this study. The extracted
cornhusk fibers were then assessed for their properties to find out if they are sustainable for
various textile applications.
Aims & Objectives
• Corn Husk is an agrarian product that is generally discarded as waste.
• Conserving natural coffers and fighting the problem of pollution, is a great result by recycling
similar wastes into sustainable, Energy-effective cloth accouterments.
• In this study, we’re making trouble developing a green fabric using CH filaments by rooting
them with alkali, enzyme, bleach, and softening agent.
6. RESEARCH GAP
The development of a Corn husk (Zeya Mays) as a corn fertilizer intertwined nutrient operation strategy is demanded
to enhance soil quality and increase crop yields in the borderline highlands of Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Due to
veritably poor soil conditions, a field toxin trial using the combined operation of organic and inorganic diseases was
conducted in Inopacan, Leyte, to assess the growth performance of sludge shops. The six treatment combinations used
in this study were the following: T1 (no toxin added); T2 (public recommendation for sludge at 90-60-60 kg N, P2O,
and K5O ha-1); T3 (funk soil at 15 tons ha-1); T4 (vermicast at 15 tons ha-1); T5 (1/2 of inorganic funk soil at 7.5
tons ha-1); and T6 (1/2 of inorganic vermicast at 7.5 tons ha-1). Generally, the application of organic toxins
significantly increased soil pH, organic matter, and total nitrogen. In addition, the treatments significantly increased
factory height, observance length, several grains per observance, the weight of,000 seeds, fresh stover yield, and grain
yield of sludge shops in plots applied with toxin following T2 (the National Recommendation for sludge at 90-60-60
kg N, P2O, and K5O ha-1) and T5 (half of the inorganic funk soil at 7.5 tons ha-1) and grew high and developed
larger consciousness with further kernels per observance and heavier,000 seeds, which Still, using inorganic toxin
alone had the same effect on observation length several of kernels per observation as those sludge shops that applied a
combination of either funk soil or vermicast and one-half of inorganic diseases. Control plots and those amended with
vermicast alone showed the least growth responses. Keywords: borderline highland soil, degraded soil, organic and
inorganic toxins.
