Intro
Food is one of the very necessities in life. A person would still survive if they received a healthy diet even
if they had no clothing or a roof over their heads. That explains why throughout human history, we have been
driven to look for and obtain food. Humans have been proliferating for many years, reaching over 8 billion this
year. This means that each day, a considerable amount of water and hectares of land are required for
agriculture. However, the demand for food resources is complicated by factors such as less arable land due to
.
the increase in urban areas, overuse of harmful pesticides, and climate change. This implies that societal food
crises are possible. In 2023, 238 million people across 48 nations are experiencing immense food insecurity
which is 10% more than in 2022.
According to survey results, one in ten Filipino homes struggle with food scarcity. Recent decades have
seen a decline in Philippine agriculture mainly caused by deforestation and extreme weathers.
In thirty years, the country might rely even more on imports of rice, coffee, and vegetables as resources
slowly become poor.
One of the best food sources is legumes. It is also the most affordable item to purchase and is widely
available in all markets. Plant protein, fiber, iron, folate, B vitamins, calcium, potassium, phosphorus,
and zinc are all abundant in legumes. They resemble the nutrients found in meat as well. They were utilized
for manuring, feeding cattle, and human consumption.
Mung beans are among this group of legumes. Mung beans, or Vigna radiata, are an annual plant with
a strong taproot that grows quickly and can be either erect or semi-erect. Mung beans are uses from popular
cuisines like mung beans salad, mung bean soup and mung bean curry. Mung bean also have health benefits
which they are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Mung beans can also cure diseases like diabetes, anemia,
digestive disorders, bone health etc. There are three leaflets on the compound leaves, which alternate along the
branching stems and are approximately.
Soil is the important part of planting plants and it is fundamental medium that holds plants in their growth. In
addition, soil controls the atmosphere, lessens flooding, filters and purifies our water, and is essential for the
carbon and nitrogen cycles. Because it absorbs and stores enormous amounts of carbon, it is also essential for
combating climate change. The ability to support rooted plants in a natural environment or horizons, or layers,
that are distinguishable from the initial material as a result of additions, losses, transfers, and transformations of
energy and matter are two characteristics of soil, which is a naturally occurring body composed of solids
(minerals and organic matter), liquids, and gases that occurs on the land surface and occupies space. The
boundary separating soil from air, shallow water, living plants, or plant materials that haven't started to
decompose is known as the upper limit of soil. If the surface is permanently submerged in water, usually
deeper than 2.5 meters, then the area is not classified as having soil. This is because rooted plants cannot grow
in such conditions. The lower lines divide.
The majority of garden plants thrive in loam soil; however, some species need rocky, sandy, or clay soil. In
addition to holding nutrients and having a texture that allows water to be retained long enough for plant roots
to reach it, loam soil drains well, allowing water to eventually seep out and prevent plant roots from becoming
wet and rotting. Plants struggle to survive in poor quality soil and typically need additional watering and
feeding.
Clay soil is an additional kind of soil. It is mostly composed of very small amounts of organic matter and
extremely fine mineral particles, with a diameter of only 0.002 mm (sand particles have a diameter of 0.05
to 2.0 mm). Because there is little space between the mineral particles, the resulting soil does not drain at
all and is extremely sticky.
It's possible that your soil is clay if you've noticed that water tends to puddle on the ground rather than
soak in. A soil is considered "heavy clay" if it contains more than 50% clay particles. It's likely that you are
aware of whether your soil is clay or not. If dirt adheres to gardening tools and shoes like glue, forms.
The aim of this project is the growth of mung beans to the 2 variants of soil that will observe by:
A. The height of the mung beans by the 2 variants of soil.

B. Fast growth between the mung beans in loam and clay soil.
The main objective of this study is which among the clay and loam soil is suited for
planting mung beans. This study determines the growth of the mung beans and recording
the height of the plant every 5 days in the 15 days experiment. It could be helpful to
farmers so that they won’t confuse to what is the difference between the loam and clay soil.
Methods
The researcher gather all the materials needed for the experiment. Shovel is used to put the mung
beans in the loam and clay soil. Mung beans are bought on the local market. Then the two soil is
found in the backyard where their everywhere. Pots is used for planting the mung beans. After the
set-up, the researcher will observe the growth of the mung beans in 15 days and also recorded the
height of the mung beans every 5 days.
Results
Growth of Mung beans in the 2 variants of soil.

Discussion
The graph contains the data of the study. Every day the plants get watered every morning and
measuring every 5 days. Because of how plants needed to grow.
Conclusion
This study aimed to investigate the effects of mung beans towards of both loam and clay soil.
The investigators made these conclusions based on their observations:
a. The height of a mung beans in a loam soil is longer than a clay soil
b. Loam soil is faster at growing mung bean plants

Recommendation
The investigators recommend the following procedures for future study:
1. The research should be performed in the Green House.

2. Use pesticides to remove the pest
