 ABSTRACT

The adverse effects of non-living factors on organisms living in a certain

environment were defined as abiotic stress. Dryness, salinity, low or high

temperatures and other environmental extremes are among these stresses. The

main causes of crop loss worldwide include abiotic stress, in particular hyper-

salinity and drought. The study was conducted to compare the different effects of

abiotic stress on the growth rate and yield of pechay for 151 days or 22 weeks.

Five pots were tested under two abiotic stresses conditions; salinity and drought

stress. Five pots (control, 20% irrigation water, 40% irrigation water, 60%

irrigation water, 80% irrigation water) were tested for drought stress. Five pots

(control, 0.2mM NaCl, 0.4mM NaCl, 0.6mM NaCl, 0.8mM NaCl) were used for

salt stress. All pots were placed under natural environment wherein the the two

(2) groups were conducted. The results showed a highly significant difference in

the height and yield of pechay between salt stress and drought stress . The most

noticeable differences in yield and height were the plants put into salinity stress.

This implies that although there is a certain range of values between salinity

stress and drought stress, both stresses truly gained both on biomass and length

of pechay. The high coefficient of determination indicated that Chinese Pechay

(Brassica rapa) can be used for tolerance against abiotic stresses.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, praises and thanks to God, the Almighty, for His

showers of blessings throughout the research work of the researchers to

complete the research successfully.

The researchers would like to express their deep and sincere gratitude to

our research adviser, Mr. Jeremias G. Maraveles, for giving them the opportunity

to do research and providing invaluable guidance throughout this research. His

dynamism, vision, sincerity and motivation have deeply inspired us. He has

taught us the methodology to carry out the research and to present the research

works as clearly as possible. It was a great privilege and honor to work and study

under her guidance. The researchers are extremely grateful for what he has to

offer. The researchers would also like to thank him for his friendship, empathy,

and great sense of humor. The researchers are extending their heartfelt thanks

to his wife, family for their acceptance and patience during the discussion they

had with his research work and preparation.

The researchers were extremely grateful to their parents for their love,

prayers, caring and sacrifices for educating and preparing for their future. The

researchers were very much thankful to their friends and classmates for their

love, understanding, prayers, and continuing support to complete this research

work.
