INTRODUCTION
Since back then, one of the existing problems of global economy are
related to the agricultural aspects. Affected by the climate change, pests, lack of
machineries, fertilizers that are being used, and other problems affect the growth
they invested capital in growing crops. The problem becomes broader that it
taking its toll on China. The massive, widespread use of toxic chemical pesticides
and fertilizers is poisoning lakes and rivers, damaging the soil, killing wildlife and
Rizal Province also faces this issue. Farming is the primary livelihood of
people living in Rizal. It provides employment and it gives income in every family.
If this problem continuously takes place and cannot be resolved or lessen it will
always be a problem and will definitely affect the large portion of the population.
As we all know this past years, many people worldwide buy expensive fertilizer
for the good growth performances of their plants, but have a high percentage of
chemicals. This lead the researchers to conduct a study that can help the
consumers to see better results and achieve the expected outcome they want by
spinach.
It is indeed a fact that water spinach ranked high among the world’s
healthiest foods and there are plenty of reasons for it being so. Also known as
‘kangkong’ or ‘swamp cabbage’, water spinach is one of the popular green leafy
is found in tropical and subtropical regions. Just like other dark green leafy

improve the performance growth of their crops and to constrain the massive
agriculture. But, small land-holders find it more profitable to sell their land to
developers in exchange for cash, especially since they lack capital for seeds,
fertilizers, pesticides, and wages for hiring workers to plant and harvest the
manmade soil enhancers used to raise the level of nutrients found in soil.
Although chemical fertilizers improve the growth of plants and increase the yields
of fruits and vegetables in a relatively short period of time, there are certain
derived from natural sources like ground water pollution, soil friability effect, and
deduction of micro-organism.
One of best solution for this issue is to make organic fertilizers which have
a high element composition that a soil and plant needs. Since they are the
ultimate slow-release fertilizers, it’s very difficult to over fertilize your plants. In
addition to releasing nutrients, as organic fertilizers break down, they improve the
structure of the soil and increase its ability to hold water and nutrients. Over time,
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
This study was based on theory of Angelita Prado started that water
spinach is a simple green vegetable but we don’t know that water spinach is
nutritious food also like any vegetables. Water spinach is ranked high among the
world’s healthiest foods and there a plenty of reasons for its being so. The
fertilizer release their nutrients move slowly in the soil, when the plants need
them, so they last longer. The nutrients are contained in complex molecules that
won’t leach away with the first rain. When the nutrients of the fertilizer went to
plant equipped its. The plant will produce a healthy and abundant fruit, no matter
Based on the theory of Jirapon Inthasan, state that fertilizer has the
treatment with compost 200ml CTM/week showed the best result in terms of
among organic treatments. Thus it can be concluded to obtain the higher yield,
this the best treatments from among the organic fertilizers combination studied,
though it was not as effective as the mineral fertilizer treatment for some growth
that there is good potential to optimize this soil amendment. Also, an economic
analysis of the costs and benefits of the high performing organic treatments
would be valuable.
Conceptual Framework
The first frame includes the input. This frame composes of the research
title, research plan and proposal. These things are required to know the main
objectives of the study to know the procedures to be done. It states the main
problem to be solved in the study. Then the materials, which is needed to know
The second frame is the process. This includes gathering of data from the
in different process like collecting, boiling, washing and many more. Then the
tabulating of data within the checklist given to the respondents. Last is conclusion
and recommendation that can help the researchers to improve their study.
And last but not the least is the output. It shows the final product of the
study. The water spinach fertilizer for tomatoes advantages can see in this frame
just like its affordability which means it can be made by any people.

having education as its priority, that’s why during the early 1970’s and early
1990’s, it became Rizal’s center of education, so that many students from
different places mostly in the nearby towns of Rizal would come and study in

wheat and corn. Rice grain is rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals and is the
staple food for more than 3 billion people. It is grown across the world, and there
are many varieties of rice and different ways of cultivating them. However, all rice
plants share common features and go through three main stages of growth –
as a vegetable for its tender shoots and leaves. It is found throughout the tropical
and subtropical regions of the world, although it is not known where it originated.
This plant is known in English as water spinach, river spinach, water morning
shorelines but it can climb over emergent vegetation. The researcher consider
the water spinach because it has an elements that makes the fertilizer become
effective.

The checklist will be answered after five to six months, before harvesting
the rice. This is to know if the water spinach is effective in the growth

will help the farmers to save money and have a healthy crop.
