Before starting this research, let's know the Plant that will be using and know the

benefits and effects of this Plant on our health. Mung beans are the chosen Plant that will be

used for the observation, but what is mung beans, and why is it essential for this whole

research paper? A Mung bean or Vigna radiata from the kingdom of Plantae is alternatively

known as the green gram. In the Philippines, it is usually called monggo or munggo, plant

species from the legume family. Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are a tiny green legume that

belongs to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae plant family (often known as the pea family). Mung

bean sprouts are commonly used as "bean sprouts" in various Asian cuisines. Protein, fiber,

antioxidants, and phytonutrients are all abundant in them. Like other dry beans, Mung beans

have a somewhat sweet, nutty flavor and may be cooked on the stovetop. The nutrition of

mung beans is outstanding, and the benefits of mung beans are numerous. However, if not

correctly cleaned and sprouted, it has a significant risk of bacterial development, which can

cause abdominal cramps and other problems in pregnant women. If you're allergic to some

beans, consuming Mung beans every day might cause shortness of breath, itching, nausea,

vomiting, and diarrhea.

C. Introduction

The study experimentally investigated the result of the five mung beans for four

weeks. Mung beans, also known as munggo, are usually used as an ingredient for Filipino

dishes. The researchers examined the five mung beans whether they grow healthy or died in

the process after germination. The mung beans germination lasted over four days. The

observation begins, and when one or more of the mung beans died during the observation,

the researcher should show why that happened. The study contains the result of the gathered

data for four weeks of observation, the discussion of the development of the Plant or the

discussion of why the plants died if ever one of them died during the process, the strategy

used for the plants grow and for maintaining the health of this Plant. It consists of the

purpose of the study and given questions that the researcher should answer during the

observation and discussion of the study.

The research purpose is to determine the growth of the Plant, the height, and the

leaves of the Plant. In order to do that, the researcher should maintain the health of the Plant

and make sure that the Plant is in good condition to survive the four weeks of observation.

So, the researcher must know how she should take care of the plants to keep them away from

the parasitic plants or others that might cause harm to the Plant. Also, the research should

answer the following questions (1) how many plants grow healthy until the observation ends?

(2) how many plants died in the process? and lastly (3) what is the strategy used to have a

healthy plant? The answer to that given question will be found in the following context of

this study. These will focus on observing the Plant's growth and its leaves. In the process, the

Mung beans will include different types of movements like tropism. This tropism is a

response to stimuli that have a positive or negative reaction to the Plant. In this study,
tropism will be included in the observation. It will be shown whether which Mung beans

received a positive or negative responses.

To sum up this introduction, the process of observing the Plant's growth will last for

four weeks, and after that, the researcher should have the data gathered for the observation. If

some of the plants died during the process, the researcher should present why that happened

because this study focuses on the Plant's growth, so if one of them dies, the data for that Plant

will be zero. That's why the researcher should know why did that happen. However, if you

take care of the mung beans and understand their specific needs, ensure they do not die

throughout the growing process and develop well, that will help to make the Plant grow

healthier.

Materials

The materials used for this observation are: mung beans are the chosen Plant that used

for the observation, pencil for writing down the data gathered on the mung beans for every

two days for four weeks, bond paper this will be the first one that will contain the gathered

data in case of some mistake that, for all the components that the plants require in order to

grow healthy such as nutrients, organic matter, air, and water. It also provides the plant root

support for the Plant is called garden soil, plastic pot that's considered the container of the

garden soil, and the instrument used for measuring the Plant's height are called a ruler.

Figure 1: Materials needed

Methods

The researcher starts on Sunday, August 29, 2021, by putting enough garden soil to

the plastic pot because if the soil is not enough for the plants, the mung beans might drown

when you put water on it. The nutrients that the Plant being gathered will be not enough so it

will take longer for the Plant to grow taller, and it will be accessible for the parasitic Plant to

have access to it. After that, the researcher puts the mung beans on the plastic pot with the

garden soil. Mung beans should be planted in a shallow area of the soil. The researcher put

four mung beans in every plastic pot with enough distance to each other, and after planting

mung beans for ten plastic pots, that is the time germination will start. The germination

process will end after the mung beans reach 1.5inches. On Thursday, September 2, 2021, the

mung beans already got the given inches, so the researcher picks five pots for all the ten pots

and picks one mung bean in every four mung beans that have been planted on every pots.

After choosing a plant that will be used for the next four weeks of observation, the researcher

put a mark (Plant, 1, Plant 2, Plant 3, Plant 4, and Plant 5) on the pots so it will not be

confusing every time the researcher measured the Plant using the ruler. Every day the

researcher changing the Plant's spot to have sunlight, and every 4 pm, the researcher will

bring back the Plant to its natural area. On October 2, 2021, the observation ends, and all the

mung beans grow healthy, none of them died on the process, but some got the lowest height.
Result and Discussion

The researcher gathered the data of the height and the leaves of the five Mung beans

for every two days in four weeks of observing the Mung beans plant. This is where you'll see

whether some of the mung beans died in the process or all of them grew healthy.

The result shows that all the Mung beans can grow healthy until the observation ends.

In observing the mung beans germination, the researcher noticed that some of the mung

beans grow faster in the dark. After the researcher put the Mung beans back in the garage

after they get enough sunlight, the chickens and other animals here won't eat the plants or

destroy the plants that might cause them to die. The researcher always checked the plant

height and discovered that it was almost the same as their height before it was put outside to

get sunlight. However, according to ScienceDaily.com, an academic study has found that

plants grow in the predawn hours and stop growing in the daytime hours. Plants develop

quickly in the dark because they follow circadian rhythms, and according to Henderson 1989,

some seeds require light to germinate and sprout, while others, such as mung beans, require

darkness to germinate. When the germination ends, all the plants reach the required height so

that the researchers will start the observation and the data gathering for the plants. This

process began on September 2, 2021, and ended on October 2, 2021. Plant 4 is the tallest of

all the plants that got 14inches, and Plant 5 is the smallest that only reached 12.3inches
however, Plant 1 got 12.5inches, and Plant 2 got 12.7inches, and Plant 3 also got 12.5inches.

Meanwhile, in the leaves of plants the Plant 3 consist of more leaves than others. Plant 3 got

12 leaves, and Plant 1 has 11 leaves; however, Plant 2, 4, and 5 have 8 leaves. In this process,

the researcher's strategy is making sure that taking care of the plants is one of the priorities

by giving what the mung beans need to grow, such as watering them, letting the plants

receive enough sunlight, etc. The researcher also ensures that none of the chickens, dogs, and

other animals that might destroy how the plants are organized can go near the plant area

because it can cause the plants to die.

Summary and Conclusion

Mung Beans or Vigna radiata belongs to the kingdom of Plantae and is alternatively

known as munggo or monggo here in our country (Philippines). Mung beans are tiny green

legumes from the Fabaceae or Leguminosae plant family, often known as the Pea family. It is

the chosen Plant that was used for the study. This research presented the result of the height

and the leaves of the Mung beans or a discussion of why the Mung bean died, in case some

of them died in the process. Although for the whole month of the observation, none of the

Plant passed. Therefore, all of them grew healthy through the strategy used by the researcher.

The germination started on August 29, 2021, with the discovery of some Mung beans that

grew faster in the dark and was proven by Sciencedaily.com and the study of Henderson

1989 that some plants grow faster than others in the night. That germination process lasted

for four days, so the observation starts on September 2, 2021, and ends on October 2, 2021.

The height of the Mung beans the Plant 4 represents as the tallest, and Plant 5 is the

smallest meanwhile in the leaves of the Mung beans, Plant 3 has more leaves followed by

Plant 1 while the Plant 2, 4, and 5 have the same quantity of the leaves. The type of response
that the Mung beans have in the tropism movement almost all the Plant represents as the

positive response in their direction. Tropism is about the stimuli', and it has four types where

the stimuli will respond either if it's in phototropism, geotropism, hydrotropism, etc. As for

the given question, all of them was answered. (1) how many plants manage to survive until

the observation ends? All of the Plant from 1 to 5 survive and grow healthy until the

observation ends (2) how many plants died in the process? None of the plants die (3) what

strategy was used in order for the plants to grow healthy? The technique used of the

researcher is by taking care of the Plant and having enough knowledge for the mung beans

needs in order to succeed.

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is an imperative eatable bean that humans eat less

worldwide. Be that as it may, its development, improvement, and surrender may be confined

or constrained by deficiently or lopsided nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)

fertilization. Despite this, few long-term considers of the impacts of shifting levels of N, P,

and K combined fertilizers and the ideal fertilization for making strides in mung bean

surrender and quality. Mungbean is one of the foremost imperative grain legumes in Asian

agribusiness, especially in South Asia (Tomooka et.,al 2002). In expansion to mungbean, the

Vigna species that were tamed in Asia incorporate three other imperative vegetable crops:

azuki bean [Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi and Ohashi], dark gram [V. mungo (L.) Hepper],

and rice bean [V. umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi and Ohashi]. Mungbean is developed on

approximately 4.2 million hectares in India with a typical yearly generation of 1.3 million

tons in 2008. According to Cheng XZ 2016, the Mung bean could be a developed vegetable

of the family Phaseoleae. It is a yearly herbaceous, self-pollinating plant raised as a grain,

foodstuff, refreshment source, vegetable, green excrement, animals nourish, and

pharmaceutical in China, India, Thailand, and the Philippines. Amid the early development

stages recently, the branches created, mung bean cannot productively settle air N since it has

few or no rhizobia. Expanding the application of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer amid the early

development period advances vegetative development and makes conditions favoring tall

surrender (Alessio G et al. 2001). According to Hussain, Malik, and Malghani 2011, the

appropriate use of fertilizers is extraordinary to trim growth and efficiency. However, in the

study of Karim et al. 2008, the Mung bean development and improvement have been

influenced, and its surrender and quality have declined due to moo fertilization levels and
imbalanced N, P, and K fertilization. In addition, by Jain, Kumar, and Panwar 2007 the

excessive fertilizer application has influenced agrarian item quality, changed soil

microecology, and upgraded soil-borne diseases. Subsequently, Mung bean abdicate and rate

can be moved forward by the adjusted utilize of fertilizers and by legitimately overseeing

fertilizer utilization (Ahmad et al. 2006).
