The effects of different ph Nutrient Solutions in growth of
Mongo in Hydroponics
GROUP 4
Patrick Segovia, Leandro Geniston, Jazer Espladon, Cleo Kelley, Mikkah Pablo
Introduction
• Better Crops through hydroponics
• Alkaline, Neutral, Acidic
• 3 different tanks
• 3 different pH levels
• Varying results
Mongo?
• Simple to grow
• Does not consume time
• Germinates in a matter of few days
• Can be tested in different environments
• Abundant
Behind Hydroponics
• Better growth of plants in hydroponics industry.
• Hydroponics eliminates soil borne diseases.
• Clean agriculture
• Better quality of crops
• Controllable environment
Still Hydroponics?
• a study on the comparison of the growth of musk melon in terms of traditional geoponics (soil) or hydroponics (water).
• plant in an aquatic environment had a better quality of fruit
• hydroponics is a better growth medium for plants.
Significance?
• Production of better and healthier food.
• Benefits in areas with poor soil quality not suitable for plant growth.
• Crop size suitable to be sold in markets.• Healthy and full of nutrients• Soil is more prone to contaminations.
Materials
• 3 Hydroponics bay/Aquariums
• Perlite - Small Plastic pot- container for the perlite.
• Submersible Pump• Styrophor • Nutrient Solution • Alkaline and Acidic
components • Mongo seeds/seedlings • Blue and Red Litmus

Results
• the acidic system has the highest record of the height
• the neutral pH level tank was in beetween the two levels
• and the alkali pH level had the shortest height of plant
Conclusion
• acidic pH level in a Hydroponics Station would be the best option in cultivating the Mongo plant.
