 To determine if batch one D (organic fertilizer) or both (2) (inorganic
fertilizer).
 Will gain higher income
 Methodology
Experimental Design

(Summary of the design and set up of the experiment.)

- A plot of land was selected in the school compound (10th August, 2023).
- The land was cleared (10th August, 2023).
- The land was tilled manually with a fork (11th August 2023).
- Four (4) ridges were created (11th August, 2023).
- Beds were soaked and transplanting was done.
- 12 lettuces were transplanted per bed (14th August, 2023).
- Two (2) beds were allocated per treatment.
- Application of the different types of fertilizer was given every at 7 days’
intervals.
- Observations were made daily and plans height were measured weekly.
- At the end of four (4) weeks harvesting was done and the lettuces were sold
(4th September, 2021).

 List of Equipment

Large Garden fork this done by plunging the fork into the soil and by placing one
foot on the shoulder, pushing downwards.

germination.

Knapsack Sprayer – is pump increases the pressure on the liquid when the handle
is operated are used on larger plot with numerous plant .

Ruler –use to measure a put the seedlings straight

same depth and are evenly spaced .

Bucket –are often used for holding and carrying water.

Lettuces seedling- use to transplant to the soil

Organic Manure – mold up the plant

Clear Plastic -improves the nutritional quality
