Rice water for plants and vegetables as an alternative organic fertilizer

RATIONAL
What is rice water
Many people worldwide prefer to wash their rice before it is cooked because of the
processing. The dust is simply whole rice grains that have been pulverized by the constant
mixing and movement of the grains from the point of processing to when it reaches your
home. it contains starches and beneficial nutrients, and many people do not strain the
excess water away from boiled rice for this reason.However, the strained water after boiling
rice is also beneficial to plants, and it contains more nutrients than the rice water derived
from only washing.the definition of Rice water is a suspension of starch obtained by draining
boiled rice or by boiling rice until it completely dissolves into the water. It may be used as a
weak gruel for invalids.It is especially effective in watering plants and vegetables as a
alternative fertilizer.

How efficient
is this rice water fertilizer can be used to water plants because it provides a sufficient
amount of (NPK) fertilizer and minerals for plants to effectively use while promoting a
healthy bacteria population. This results in healthy plant growth. It can also be applied using
any method and can also ward off unwanted pests when fermented. And the Results of the
study into the beneficial use of rice water for plants showed that using the water from
washed rice is as effective, and in some cases more effective than NPK fertilizer in
promoting plant growth, at least in terms of the number of plant leaves produced and
higher plant biomass.

And what is the advantages of rice water fertilizer. Is the advantage of being cheap,
improving soil structure, texture and aeration increasing the soils water retention abilities
and stimulating healthy root development. And its also bieng so practical to conserve water

METHODOLOGY
Experimental design
We will comparing the inorganic and normal cultivation process to our research design.

Treatment to be employed
We will do the following proces we have three plants/vegetables is filled with rice water and
inorganic fertilizer. The other one is just normal method.

Data to be gathered
Who will grow faster each day and healthier plant.
