Abstract: MEDRANO, MYRA JOYCE P., MOJICA, JUDITH A., OLOROSO, RHONA FE C. and PENUS, ANN CHRISTELLE V., Applied Research IIL Cavite state University, Indang, Cavite, April 2003, "UTILIZATION OF CABO NEGRO AND COCONUT HUSK IN THE MANUFACTURE OF GROWING POTS." Adviser: Engr. Rene R. Marasigan , Prof. Dulce L. Ramos "Ihe study entitled, "Utilization of Cabo Neyo and Coconut Husk in the Manufacture of Growing Pots" was conducted to produce growing pots out of Cabo nego and coconut husk Specifically, the study aimed to: (a) determine the possibility of utilizing coconut husk and cabo negro in the manufacture of growing pots; (b) determine which treatment will produce the best quality of growing pots; (c) determine which sample will be the most durable in terms of breaking strength; and (d) analyze the cost of different treatments of produced growing pots. The study consisted of seven (7) phases: Collection of Raw Materials; Preparation of Materials; Preparation of Samples; Formation of Blocks to be tested in Compressive Digital Testing Machine (CDTM); Gathering of Data.; Data Analysis; and Cost Analysis. The pot making process was conducted at Brgy. Palahanan, San Juan, Batangas from December 2002 to January 2003. Six (6) treatments replicated thrice were used in the study having different proportions of clay soil, cabo negro and coconut husk. The treatments used were the following: To (900 g of clay soil); Tl (700 g of clay soil and 200 g of coconut husk); T2 (500 g of clay soil and 400 g of coconut husk); T3 (500 g of clay soil, 200 g of cabo negro and 200 g of coconut husk); T4 (700 g of clay soil and 200 g of cabo and T5 (500 g of clay soil and 400 g of cabo The sensory evaluation test of growing pots was conducted in January 2003. A panel of 30 judges was selected from the Cavite State University (CvSU), Laboratory School. The physical characteristics of growing pots from cabo negro and coconut husk (general appearance, texture, and general acceptability) were rated with scores ranging from 1-5 (l, being the lowest and 5, being the highest). T2 produced the best results with its highest total mean score for general appearance (4.05), general acceptability (4.16) and compressive strength (17.67 mpa; 2533.33 psi) and was also one of the treatments with the least production cost. In terms of texture, T5 got the highest total mean score of 3.94. In general, results reveal that coconut husk could be added to clay soil in commercial pot making.
