Abstract
Methods/Materials
Homemade solid and liquid fertilizers were made using various ingredients. They were compared with commercial solid and liquid fertilizers on radish and mung bean plants. The plants were kept in small pots and were grown in vermiculite. The experiment was conducted in a controlled environment in my school lab.
Results
Using the analysis of variance, I found out there was no significant difference between the solid and liquid commercial and homemade fertilizers tested on radish plants. However, there was a significant difference between the homemade and commercial fertilizers on mung bean plants, the former being better.
Conclusions/Discussion
Since homemade fertilizers are equivalent to commercial ones, why go out and buy expensive commercial fertlizers. Instead, household items can be used to make a fertilizer that is as good as the store bought ones.
Homemade solid and liquid fertilizers were compared with commercial solid and liquid fertilizers on mung bean and radish plants.
