Here's a structured outline for Chapters 1 and 2 of your thesis titled, *"The
Effectiveness of Coconut Husk as an Alternative Fertilizer for Pichay."* Each

section has been outlined with prompts and potential content ideas to guide your
writing.

### CHAPTER 1: Introduction

1. **Introduction**
- Begin with an overview of sustainable agricultural practices and the
importance of alternative fertilizers.
- Explain the relevance of pichay (Chinese cabbage) cultivation and the demand
for effective and eco-friendly fertilizers.
- Introduce the use of coconut husk, highlighting its potential benefits as an
organic alternative in enhancing soil nutrients and plant growth.
2. **Theoretical Framework (optional)**

- If included, this section can discuss theories related to organic fertilizers,
plant nutrition, and soil fertility.
- You may include the principles of sustainable agriculture, soil science, and
the impact of natural amendments on plant growth.
3. **Conceptual Framework**
- Illustrate the relationship between coconut husk, soil nutrient enhancement,
and pichay growth.
- Use a diagram to show how the independent variable (coconut husk as a
fertilizer) potentially affects the dependent variable (growth and health of pichay
plants).
- Highlight the process, starting from the preparation of coconut husk as a
fertilizer, its application, and expected growth outcomes in pichay.
4. **Statement of the Problem**

- Define the main problem addressed by the study:
- *Primary Question:* How effective is coconut husk as an alternative
fertilizer for pichay?
- *Sub-questions:*
1. Does coconut husk enhance the growth rate and yield of pichay compared to
traditional fertilizers?
2. How does the nutrient content in soil treated with coconut husk compare
with other fertilizers?
3. What are the observable effects on the physical health of pichay when
grown with coconut husk fertilizer?
5. **Significance of the Study**

- Discuss the study's value to sustainable farming, the agricultural community,
and environmental conservation efforts.
- Highlight potential benefits for local farmers, especially those looking for
cost-effective and environmentally friendly fertilizers.
- Explain the academic and scientific contributions to the field of sustainable
agriculture and organic farming.
6. **Scope and Limitation**

- Define the scope: This study is limited to observing the effects of coconut
husk on the growth of pichay in specific environmental and soil conditions.
- Limitations may include factors such as specific soil types, climate
conditions, and resources used in the study, as well as any seasonal constraints or
sample size restrictions.
7. **Definition of Terms**
- Provide definitions for key terms, such as:
- *Coconut Husk:* The fibrous outer shell of a coconut, used in this study as
an organic fertilizer.
- *Alternative Fertilizer:* A non-synthetic substance used to enrich soil and
promote plant growth.
- *Pichay (Chinese Cabbage):* A leafy vegetable commonly cultivated in
Southeast Asia, scientifically known as *Brassica rapa*.

### CHAPTER 2: Research Design

1. **Research Design**
- Explain the research methodology: Experimental or quasi-experimental design.
- Describe the steps involved in setting up the study, such as preparing the
coconut husk, planting pichay, and monitoring growth outcomes.
2. **Research Environment**
- Describe the study's setting, such as the specific location (e.g., a
greenhouse, outdoor garden, or farm).
- Include details about the climate, soil type, and other environmental
conditions relevant to the study.
3. **Sampling Design**
- Detail how samples (pichay plants) were selected, including the criteria for
healthy seedlings.
- Describe the sample size, grouping, and randomization (if applicable).
4. **Research Respondents**
- Identify who participated or was involved in the study (e.g., agricultural
experts, local farmers).
- If no human respondents are involved, clarify that this study focuses solely
on plant growth.
5. **Research Instrument**
- Describe the tools and methods used to measure plant growth, soil nutrient
levels, and other factors.
- This may include measuring tapes, soil nutrient kits, growth monitoring logs,
and observational tools.
6. **Gathering Procedures**
- Outline each step of data collection:
- *Step 1:* Preparation and treatment of coconut husk.
- *Step 2:* Planting and applying the coconut husk as a fertilizer.
- *Step 3:* Weekly monitoring and recording of pichay growth.
- *Step 4:* Comparison with control plants (if applicable) not treated with
coconut husk.
7. **Data Analysis**
- Explain the methods used to analyze the growth data and compare results.
- Detail any statistical methods or software that will be applied to interpret
findings, such as t-tests for comparing growth rates between treated and untreated
plants.
