the study. It provides information on the participants, that is, the criteria for
inclusion in the study, who the participants are and how they will be sampled.
The researchers describe the research design that was chosen for the purpose
of this study and the reasons for this choice. The instrument that will be used
for data collection is also described and the procedures that will be followed
in carrying out this study are included. The researchers also discuss the
methods that will be used to analyze the data that will be gathered.

Preparation of Plot
Three plots were established to compare Brassica rapa seedling growth using
different fertilizers: Plot 1 received Oriental Herbal Nutrient, Plot 2 was treated
while Plot 3 served as the control group. Each plot, housing 20 seedlings,

sugar to the chopped ingredients, maintaining a ratio of one part sugar to ten
parts material by weight, and thoroughly mix the components. Allow the
mixture to ferment at room temperature for one week and then add the beer.
Following 1 week fermentation, carefully separate the liquid from the solid

size of leaves. Data management: the researchers will compile that data into
a spreadsheet and compute summary statistics for each group (with and
without OHN and with the commercial fertilizer), including mean, standard
deviation, and range. To show the difference between the groups, the
researchers will create visualizations including line graphs and scatter plots.
The researchers will compare the means of the two groups and look for any
Preparation of Plot
• Divide 60 Brassica rapa seedlings into three plots (Control, OHN, UREA),
each containing 20 seedlings.
• Establish controlled environmental conditions with consistent humidity,
lighting, and temperature.
Baseline Measurement
Application Phase:
Regular Monitoring
• Periodically measure plant height, leaf count, and overall health for all
plots.
• Capture photographs every month or every two weeks to observe growth
changes over time.
