Investigatory Project About Rice Water
Abstract
This experiment intends to help the farmers, researchers, biologist and hobbyist. If proven effective, they can use this to grow more
mongo plants faster and healthier with the help of rice wash. Also, it can benefit our economy about water consumption. Before the
investigators did anything in the experiment, they studied what are the variables first. The constant variables are the amount of soil, type
of soil, size of plastic cups, type of plant, and area.
The independent variable is the rice height of the plants, color of the leaves, and the length of the leaves. The investigators used four
plastic cups in each group and labeled it. Group A will be the control set- up while group B will be the experiment set-up. Both groups
were given h cup of soil, 2 mongo seeds and 15 ml. Of solution (Group As solution is water and group Bi's solution is rice water). Each
group were watered, by their destined solution, five days. After five days, the investigators tabulated the results and collected the data in
group A and group B. The investigators compared it afterwards.
The results were that the effect of the rice wash in the growth of the mongo plant is bad because some of the mongo plant didn't grow
and some grows slow. Therefore, it is shown that the rice wash has no significant effect in the growth of mongo the plant.
Background of the Study
The investigators chose to use rice wash because they believe rice was
...
h can give benefits to the plants. It doesn't undergo chemical process that is why rice wash give minerals. Instead of throwing the rice
wash, people can use it to water the plants to reduce water consumption.
Statement of the Problem This investigation intends to determine the answers to the following questions: What is the effect of the rice
wash in the growth of the mongo plant? What is the effect of the rice wash in the height of the mongo plant? What is the effect of the
rice wash in the color of the leaves of the mongo plant? What is the effect of the rice wash in the length of the leaves of the mongo
plant? Formulation of the Hypothesis There is a significant relationship between the growth of plants and the use of rice wash.
Significance of the Study This experiment intends to help the farmers, researchers, and hobbyist.
If proven effective, they can use this to grow more mongo plants faster and healthier with the help of rice wash. Scope and Limitations
The investigators used eight plastic cups as a container of the plants. They separate the eight plastic cups into two groups, group A and
group B. There are four plastic cups in each group. The investigators put two seeds in each cup. They used fifteen millimeters of water
for watering the group A, and another fifteen millimeters of rice wash for watering the group B. The investigators placed their experiment
at the fourth of Dana Lee Hall building and they observed it for five days.

take up a substance to a part of whole. Biennial- occurring every two years. C Calories- it is a unit equivalent to the large calorie
expressing heat-producing or by a chemical process or producing a chemical effort. Cloudy- uneven in color or texture, having visible
material in suspension: murky. Consume- is to engage fully. Decomposition- is to separate into constituent parts or elements or into
simpler compounds. Deficiency- is an amount of lacking or inadequate. Densities- it is the quantity per unit volume, unit area, or unit
length.
Detoxification s to free from an intoxicating substance in the body or plant. F Fatigue- the temporary loss of power to respond that is
induced in a sensory receptor or motor end organ by continued stimulation. Fortune Plant- is also known as "Lucky Bamboo", rain-forest

indoors. Hypersonic- having a higher osmotic pressure than a surrounding medium or a fluid under comparison. Imbibe- is to absorb or
assimilate moisture, gas, light, or heat.
Infestation- is to bread or swarm in or over in a troublesome manner. Ingested- is to take in for or as if for digestion. Intrigued- is to
arouse the interest, desire, or curiosity. Irrigation- it is the supply of water by artificial meaner. Larvae- it is the immature, wingless, and
often wormhole feeding form that hatches from the egg of many insects. Nitrogen- is a colorless, tasteless, odorless element that as a
diatomic gas is relatively inert and constitutes 78 percent of the atmosphere. O Opaque- is blocking the radiant of energy and especially

that is known as pest to plants. X Xylem- is a complex tissue in the vascular system of higher plants.
Review of Related Literature Review of Related Literature
Rice water is organic fertilizer. The introduction of improved rice varieties into a traditional swamp framing system tends to create a
situation here the nutrient demands of the crop outstrip the natural ability of the CEO-system to replenish its organic resources. (Sierra
Leone, July 1980) The main reason I chose to use rice water to replace fertilizers is that rice water does give more benefits compare to
the use of fertilizers. Rice water is a kind of naturally occurred fertilizer and it doesn't undergo a chemical process. This can help to
reduce the use of electric current and materials of industry.
Rice water can act as a natural fertilizer to promote plant growth and replace chemically made fertilizers to save the environment. I
continue to experiment for another two weeks. I observed the two plants that are watered
