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.
