The study about effectiveness of Banana peel extract and Onion peel extract to the
growth and yield of Eggplant aims to determine what is the most effective variable for
the growth and yield of an Eggplant. Moreover, the research design used in this study is
experimental. The study was conducted in Supang National High School. The
researchers compare the growth and yield of an Eggplant watered by Banana peel
extract and Onion peel extract. The researchers find out that the two variable are both
effective but then the Banana peel extract is the most effective as an organic fertilizer.

A banana is a delicious fruit, and it's botanical name is Berry. It produced in

various kinds of large Herbaceous flowering plants. This fruit is variable in size, color,
like green, yellow, red, brown (when ripe) and purple. Banana consists of fleshy outer
peel which can be removed to expose the yellow flesh. The scientific name of banana is
"Miss Acuminata" it can be consumed directly in fruits salads, juice, and milkshakes.
Banana is used to make fiber, and banana wine (https://www.qoura.com). Banana are
healthy source of fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamins C and various antioxidants and
phytonutrients (https:www.healthline.com).
Onion is the common name for the herbaceous, cold season plant Alloy Cops,
which is characterized by a edible rounded bulb compose of concentric fleshy, right,
packed and enlarge leaf bases. Onion is also used for cooking in any cuisine
(https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org). Onion are excellent sources of Vitamin C,
Sulphuric compounds, flavonoids and phytochemicals.
Eggplant is the common name for a personal plant, Deplaning melongena, of the
potato or night shape family solonaceae, characterized by large leaves, white to purple
flowers and color also a yellow stameus with numerous Sman seeds. The name also
used for the freshly, edible of this plant. The plant and fruits also are known as
aubergine and (https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org).
The researchers found that one of the problems in the community are the
creeping growth of the plant caused scarcity of food. To know the solution for this
problem, the researchers will have an experiment on the effectiveness of Onion (Alluim
Cepa) peel and banana (Musa Acuminata) peel as an alternative organic fertilizer for
the growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum Melongena).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Banana
According to Anderson banana peels can be an alternative fertilizer and a good

insecticide to the plants found in the lawns. This will create a good and big help to the
household with more plants since there are no more insects found in the plants, and it
will also give potassium to the soil, making the soil fertilize.
(Anderson,2009)
Banana peels can also be used in smoking through its substance, bananadine. It
is a psychoactive tryptamine chemically related LSD and DMT and it has a carbon atoms
Banana peelings have a number of positive attributes, which make them suitable
as an animals feed and as an alternative complementary feed during periods of forage
shortage. They have high moisture content, which helps animals to stay hydrated.
Banana peelings are also a good source of minerals, especially in potassium

(Anwange,2008) and have a fiber content (HappiEmagaet al, 2011). In comparison to

many grass species, that has a NDF fractions (NRC, 2001), banana peelings have a
lower fiber content, which gives an improved digestibility and subsequently an elevated
intake compared those of grasses (Nambi – kasozi , 2008).
According to Anderson, banana peels can be an alternative fertilizer and a good

insecticide to the plants found in the lawns. The banana peels will be a natural
insecticide, which can be non-toxic to humans and pets and safe for the environment
(Permasofty 2012).Reader's digest once suggested that aphidiufected lawns and
gardens should bury dried-up banana peels since it kills or ferminates the insects found
in anybody's lawns. (Reader's Digest, 2012)
Onion
According to Shri (2010) Alluim Cepa, apotent antioxidant, is one of the richest
sources of flavonoids and organosulphur compound such as antrocyanin .Garlic and
Onion extracts have been reported to possess anticarcinogenic activity. They are
reported to have significant antimutagenic activities in the bladder ,brain ,breast
,colon ,lungs ,ovary and stomach cancers. Both have antimicrobrian activity including
antibacterial,antifungal,antiparasitic and antiviral actions.

Onion is somewhat a genetic that refers to several pungent members of the genus
Alluim (Lilaceae family) including common (bulbous) onion, garlic, leek and others. The
world was derived from the Middle English union which means "one" or "unity" and
refers to the onion's single bulb consisting of concentric rings. The pungency of onions
is due to volatile sulfur compounds (thiosulfinates) which in turn are produced from
sulfur-containing flavor precensors released when onion cells are raptured or cut.
Onion is thought to have ariginated more than 500 years ago in Central Asia and is one
of the most ancient of food sources. It's consumption by humans can be traced back to
the Bronze Age. A staple in the diet of many civilizations, it was especially important in
ancient Egypt. In addition to being consumed as afood. Egyptians worshipped, onion
thinking it's concentric rings symbolized enternal life indeed.

Eggplant
Eggplant solanum melongena L (also known as brinjal and aubergine) is one of the
most important inexpensive and popular vegetable crops grown and consumed in Asia
in the Philippines, eggplant production accounts for more than 30% of the total volume
of production of the most important vegetables in the country. Eggplant production
provides an important source of cash income, particularly for small resources -poor
farmers. The biggest constraints to eggplant production throughout Asia OS the chronic
and widespread inferstation by the eggplant fruit and shoot bover. (EF SB).

1. The researchers would like to recommend further that Banana peel extract can
be used as an organic fertizer in the future.
2. The researchers would like to recommend if anyone thinking to make a organic

fertilizer They must have proper research and try to asked someone that has an
experience in making fertilizer,because not anyone will be successful for their
experiment.
3. Be also sure tohave a complete materials needed to make an experiment
