 RESEARCH PROBLEM AND
OBJECTIVES
● Mung beans or Vigna Radiata is one of the common dishes that families
serve at their table. This kind of bean is mostly grown in tropical and
subtropical regions in Asia. Because of its warm season, growing mung
beans has its conditions, thus some countries needed to cultivate ways to
avoid insufficiency and deficiency of the quality of mung beans due to the
.
change in climate and properties of the soil.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY ARE:

● To see the direct effect of sodium chloride in seed germination of Vigna
Radiata,
● To see if this method can or cannot help agriculturist and botanists to
engineered the germination of the seed on the sodium chloride.
● To compare the growth of the normal seed germination of Vigna Radiata in
terms of the health and the other characteristics.
02 RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

Successful germination, seed plant emergence,

and subsequent growth are all critical for crop
production in salty regions. The goal of this study
is to see how sodium chloride affects Vigna
radiata directly. Compare its development to the
usual seed germination of Vigna Radiata in terms
of the different characteristics. This study will
serve as a knowledge foundation for determining
whether or not sodium chloride may be utilized to
improve Vigna Radiata and other seed sowing.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The researchers provided questions to answer specific
problems:
1. Does sodium chloride have a bad effect on Vigna Radiata?
2. Does sodium chloride have a good effect on Vigna Radiata?
3. What are the visible changes in the soil between each
experiment?
4. How is sodium chloride used in the experiment?
5. Are there any changes in the characteristics or the health of
Vigna Radiata as it is exposed to sodium chloride?
6. How much salt can the Vigna Radiata stop germinating?

QUESTIONS
How does sodium chloride
use in the experiment?
Are there any changes in
the characteristics or the
health of Vigna radiata as it
is exposed to sodium
chloride?
How much salt can the
Vigna Radiata stop
germinating?
OUTCOME
This research involved
determining the effects of salt
on growing Vigna
Radiata seeds as well as
determining if there was a
maximum concentration that
could be tolerated.
Due to the sodium chloride,
alterations in seed health were
diminished. Saltwater or pure
salt may get blocked and
dehydrated or ultimately
drained from the plant.
The process of germination
has greatly reduced with an
increase in salt and no
sprouting of 1.5 tsp. or higher.
The less salt in the water that
germinates, the fewer seeds
there are.

CONCLUSION
In this research, the researchers have concluded that Sodium chloride is
ineffective in increasing the growing capacity of Vigna radiata in consequently, it
even prevented the seed from growing. While experimenting, the researchers
dealt with several hindrances, such as the climate wherein the increased
temperature made the soil dry and lack of time because the seed needed time to
grow. And in any case, we need to change our methods of experimentation. The
sodium chloride solution which, was poured on the research plant, was
concentrated on the soil. Conversely, the health of the Vigna Radiata seed and
the seedling’s growth was significant affected due mainly to the concentration that
has resulted.
