E. Analysis and Interpretation

The Independent Sample t-test findings for the 20% and 40% concentrations are presented in Table 1. The
p-values are, respectively,.037 for the 20% and.038 for the 40%. The null hypothesis is rejected since the
p-values are less than 0.05 and the alpha of significance is 0.05. Since the effects of the 20% and 40%
concentrations of the Organic Liquid-Based Animal Waste Foliar Fertilizer on plant growth are
significantly different from one another, either of the two concentrations may be preferable to the other.
