SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following pages will discuss the summary, findings, conclusions,
and recommendations from the results of the conducted study.
Summary
Even though rice is the third largest crop, it still is very hard to
produce. It is only suitable to be produced in countries with low labor cost,
low agricultural land cost and with high rainfall. The Philippines is a country
where labor costs are not that high and there is adequate rainfall. But, even
with these favorable conditions, the country still is having difficulties in
production.
The study is trying to imitate rice production in villages to rice
production in urban centers. In the same way the study is trying to produce
rice in limited condition by utilizing empty urban spaces like pots or pails or
even roofs. Also, the study is trying to determine how the palay would yield
its best result.
The study was carried out on a Randomized complete Block Design
with three replications, as seen in Figure 1. Sample plants will be used in
the experiment. Thus total of 54 pails will be used in the study. The layout
of the experiment can be seen on Figure 2. Each sample plant is measured
weekly and the data were gathered, computed, organized, tabulated and
statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for RCBD to test
the significance of the treatments used and to evaluate the formulated
hypotheses.
Findings
The following are the facts found as the study is being conducted.
1. The difference in of variety and fertilizer levels does not show a
significant difference in the growth of rice plants. This means that the
difference in variety and fertilizer levels does not affect the growth of
rice.
2. The difference in variety affects the yield in terms of number of
spiklets, percentage of filled and unfilled grains, and length of panicle,
while it does not affect the number of productive tillers and yield.
While the different amounts of fertilizer does not affect the yield
Conclusions
The following are the conclusions attained from the study conducted.
1. The two varieties of rice and three levels of fertilizers produced the
same plant height.
2. The two varieties of rice and three levels of fertilizers produced the
same number of tillers.
3. The two varieties of rice and three levels of fertilizers produced the
same number of productive tillers.
4. The two varieties of rice produced different number of spiklets
showing that the V2(Rc 130) showed more spiklets than that of V1(Rc
28).
5. The two varieties of rice produced different percentage of filled and
unfilled grains showing that the V2(Rc 130) showed more filled
grains than that of V1(Rc 28).
6. The two varieties of rice produced different length of panicle V2(Rc
130) showed longer panicles than that of V1(Rc 28)..
7. The different levels of fertilizer produced the same length of panicle.
8. The different levels of fertilizer produced the same number of
spiklets.
9. The different levels of fertilizer produced the same percentage of
filled and unfilled grains.
10. The different varieties and fertilizer levels showed the same
performance in terms of yield.
11. The effect of fertilizer on the two varieties of rice is the same.
Recommendations
Below are the recommendations of the researcher for future studies to
be conducted in connection to this study.
1. Further study on other varieties of rice that would be more suitable for
the condition of cities and urban places.
2. Study the effect of planting rice on pails to the growth and population
of mosquitoes in cities.
3. Further study in the effect of shadows of buildings in urban spaces.
4. Find other sources of fertilizers on cities aside from those inorganics.
