REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Conceptual Literature

Organic fertilizer or fermented plant juice there is a positive and

advantageous impact to the growth of the plant with respect to the time.

Aside from this, it also shows higher percentage of yield and vibrant

appearance. The effectiveness of fermented plant juice to vegetables

specifically in eggplant (Solanum melongena sp.) in contrast to commercial

fertilizer found in the market as one of the most common practice of local

farmers in the area. According to Gonzaga (2019), the importance of organic

concoctions and extracts as natural farming and ensuring future sustainable

eco-friendly agriculture practices. This study is similar to Alam, Md. Amirul

(2017). Sates that treated plants with fermented plant juice produce early

fruits compared to untreated plants due to the enhanced production auxin

and essential nutrients.

A recent study shows that there is a significant difference between the

growth of eggplants, based on the variation of time by week. There are

interactions of difference in the control response over the three weeks

compared to the treatment response over the three week, this observed the

organic treated plants pest resistance was highly noted. Fermented plant are

well- known all over the world used in industrial production including the

Philippines where fermented products has.

Related Studies

Fermented plant juice is well known and widely used all over the

world including the Philippines where fermented products used as fertilizer on

plants. The study of Alam (2021) pursued the use of plants extracts as

fertilizer because of the increasing price of commercial and synthetic

fertilizers and its residual effect on the soil environment. In conclusion, this

research conducted to evaluate the growth and development of plant in the

open field and produced culture applied with fermented plant juice.

The usage of fermented plant juice as fertilizer is expected to improve

the quality of the plant along with foliar application where nutrient application

is better than direct fertilization. (Naz et al. 2011).

Recently, the practices of soil management using chemical fertilizers

help crop yields by improving nutrient supplies. However, it also causes the

cultivation of land and agricultural population, to solve this situation, organic

manures helps in combating disease problems (Wazir et al. 2018)

This process may help the production of Solanum melongena sp. plant

as one of the common practices of the Filipino local farmers.

Theoretical Framework

The result demonstrates the effectiveness of organic fertilizer such as

fermented plant juice (FPJ) to vegetables specifically on eggplant ( Solanum

melongena sp.) in contrast to commercial fertilizers. There is a significant difference

between the growth of eggplants and its fruit production with respect to time, labor

of work and budget wise. This study is similar to Alam, Md. Amirul. (2017). Which

states that the treated plant with FPJ produces early flowers and fruits compared to

untreated plants due to the enhanced production of auxin and essential nutrients.

This research may provide additional literature and the importance of organic

concoctions and extracts as natural farming and ensuring future sustainable eco-

friendly agriculture practices.

Summary

Organic fertilizer or fermented plant juice has a positive and advantageous

effect on plant growth with respect to time. Aside from that, it has a higher

percentage of yield and a more vibrant appearance. The efficacy of fermented plant

juice on vegetables, specifically eggplant (Solanum melongena sp.) in comparison to

commercial fertilizer found in the market, as one of the most common practices of

local farmers in the area. Gonzaga (2019) emphasizes the significance of organic

concoctions and extracts in in natural farming and ensuring future sustainable eco-

friendly agricultural practices. This research is comparable to Alam, Md. Amirul

(2017). Because of the increased production of auxin and ethylene, states that

treated plants with fermented plant juice produce earlier fruits than untreated

plants.
