PROJECT PROPOSAL

TITLE: “Sustainable small – scale hydroponic cropping”

A. RATIONALE

No soil? No vast of land? No problem! Yes, we're so used to see plants

growing in gardens or in various potteries that we tend to overlook the extraordinary
way of growing plants without or in minimal soil. Mind you, it’s possible. Not only will
plants grow without soil, they often grow a lot better with their roots in water or in very
moist air instead. Growing plants without soil or in minimal soil is known as
Hydroponics. It might sound weird, but many of the foods we eat: including pechay,
lettuce and other vegie plants on the vine—are already grown hydroponically. Let's dig
deeper about hydroponics and find out how it works!
Although the benefits of hydroponics have sometimes been questioned, there
seem to be many advantages in growing without soil. Some hydroponic growers have
found that they get yield many times greater when they switch from conventional
methods. Because hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich
solutions, they get what they need much more easily than plants growing in soil, so
they need much smaller root systems and can divert more energy into leaf and stem
growth. With smaller roots, you can grow more plants in the same area and get more
yield from the same amount of ground (which is particularly good news if you're
growing in a limited area like a greenhouse or in a balcony or window-ledge inside).
Hydroponic plants also grow faster. Many pests are carried in soil, so doing without it
generally gives you a more hygienic growing system with fewer problems of disease.
Since hydroponics is ideal for indoor growing, you can use it to grow plants all year
round.
Luzong National High School, has a limited space or has a small area so we
came up with this Hydroponics project which gives unlimited vegetable supply. The
project is in connection with the schools’ program Eco-friendly School since 2016.
Teachers participate by integrating plant biology, nutrition, cooking and business
marketing into the curriculum.
The nutrients used in hydroponic systems can come from many different
sources, including (but not limited to) fish excrement, chicken manure, or artificial
nutrient solutions.

B. OBJECTIVES:
This project proposal aims:
1. To educate students to plant vegetable even in limited space or no vast of land.
2. To supply ideal nutritional environment for optimum plant performance.
 3. To produce vegetable in school.
4. To encourage students and citizens of Brgy. Baduang to be more creative and
innovative.

C. METHODOLOGY

School Head, teachers, students, employees, benefactors and other

stakeholders play a great role in the implementation of the project. Growing plants
hydroponically doesn't have to be done on a large scale, and it's easier than you might
think. Now there are kits, do-it-yourself systems and even fully automated growing
tables, all designed for home gardeners.

 The leader will discuss the proposal to the Principal, Teaching and Non-
Teaching staff of the school.
 The leader will plan for the needed materials in the making of
Hydroponics.
 The team will buy and prepare needed materials.
 The production of hydroponics

D. EXPECTED OUTPUT
The expected outputs of this project proposal are:
1. Make a hydroponics
2. Produce vegetables in a hydroponics
