CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In this study we want to discover how plant grows if distance varies. In many

scientific experiments plants may be specified by the different studies that are being

conducted in line with plants. In our study we are so desperate on discovering how plant

grows in various spacing patterns.

The effect of different plant spacing are influenced by the interactions between the

upper layer and the lower layer of the ground that are more eloquent effects of nutrients

competition in roots on the growth of the plant. Narrow spaced plants are more likely to

increase photosynthetic capacity by gaining the interception of acquirable solar radiation

and the production of the plants. (Jiang and Zhang, 2013)

Plant spacing varies with the growth of plants and the growing environments.

Distinctive planting patterns such as narrow spacing, wide – narrow rows and multiple –

plant hill plots have been developed in grain yields under different growing conditions.

Individual plants always fight for nutrition, water and root space. Reports are available

regarding root nutrients under different plant spacings. (Jiang, Wang, Wu, Dong, Lie and

Zhang, 2013)

We are motivated on our study to be conducted. It will help us, not just us but also

to farmers that different spacing patterns affects the growth of the plant.
Purpose Statement

The purpose of this study is to discover if distance has effect to the growth of the

plants.

Objective of the Study

The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of distance to the plants

growth.

Significance of the Study

The people that will benefit this study are the following:

The farmers and agriculturist to know the effectiveness of plant’s distance to its

growth.

To us researcher, to observe how the plants grow in various distances in a

controlled environment.

To the future researchers, this research will serve as a guide relates to your

acquired study.

Scope and Limitations

Hypotheses

The plant growth may vary depending on the distance of a plant. If the distance of

the plant is far from each other the plant grows higher than overcrowded plants.

Conceptual Framework
Plant Distance

Growth
Figure 1. The Conceptual Framework of the Study

The above figure shows that the growth of the plant depends on the distance of

the plant. The plant’s growth varies depending on the distance of the plant.

Definition of Terms

This section is operationally defined on how the terms are used in the study.

Plant- A living organism that grows on soil.

Distance- The amount of space between two places or things.

Growth- The process of growing.


Photosynthesis- The process by which a green plant turns water and

carbondioxide into food.

Soil- The upper layer of earth that may be dug or plowed and in which plants grow.
