INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In our country’s farm sector, farmers are using chemical products such as fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides to make our agriculture more productive. However, these products are expensive, can endangered or harmful man’s health may bring harmful residues from the chemicals content that may destroy the environment.

To give solutions to these problems, researchers are trying to find out some alternative way that are safe to human’s health, cheap and is effective in promoting plant growth without harming the environment.

The fertile soil is weed free and rich in organic matter. The recent technologic process to fertile soil that favor high yield is decomposing .This done to assure sufficient nutrients for plant. Likewise organic fertilizer can be produced easily

Statement of the Problem

The researchers aimed to compare the two different fertilizers namely Dried leaves and Bio waste materials as organic fertilizers for growing tomato plant.

The researchers sought answers to the following specific questions:

1. How to produce Organic fertilizers?

2. Which treatment is/are the most effective organic fertilizers for growing tomato plant in terms of:

a. Mean Height of plant

b. Mean Size of leaves

c. Mean Weight of Fruits

d. Color of the Leaves

3. Is there any significant difference among the treatments in terms of:

a. Mean Height of plant

b. Mean size of leaves

c. Mean Weight of Fruits

d. Color of the Leaves

4. Is there a significant difference between organic and commercial fertilizer

Significance of the Study

The importance of organic gardening and farming has become increasingly popular. People have become more health
