Gardeners, especially farmers will have anidea if mixing unused powdered charcoal(Carbon Sulphate Oxide) affect the height of aplant or crop in particularly a Oregano plant
(Origanum Vulgare) so as to discover a way togrow their plant in a shorter period of timewithout tampering the crop or the plant itself.
Significance of the Study

Learn how to measure the heightof the Oregano plant before,during and after experimentation
Compare the growth of the
Oregano plant with and withoutthe presence of charcoal in its soil

We found out that charcoal does affect theheight of a plant. We have noticed that theplants in both experimental set ups grewslower than of the plant in the controlled set
up. However, we have discovered that thepresence of charcoal in the soil made itcompact does making it have a lesser chanceof eroding.
Analysis of Data
7/31/2019 IP Oral Defense
29/32
7/18/12
We did not put a stick beside the plant tosupport it.
We did not crush the charcoal thoroughly.
We mixed too much charcoal to soil.
We mixed the charcoal in the soil.
Sources Of Errors

We therefore conclude that charcoal has asignificant effect on the Origanium Vulgareplant. We also reject our hypothesis whichstates that Mixing charcoal to the soil has no
significant effect to the growth of anOriganium Vulgare plant.because charcoalslows the growing of the plant in terms ofheight.
Conclusion
7/31/2019 IP Oral Defense
31/32
7/18/12
We recommend that the people who will plan todo this experiment is to :
a. Change the plastic cups (pot) to a clay potfor it to be more environmental friendly
b.The experimenters can choose upon avariety of plants especially orchids which is aplant normally seen with charcoal as its soil.
