Abstract: MALIMBAN, HONEY MAE R., Applied Research 111, Science High School, Cavite state University, Indang, Cavite, April 2006. "EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FERTILIZERS ON THE CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT OF LETTUCE AND MUSTARD" Adviser: Prof. Alison C. Penus The study entitled "Effects of Different Fertilizers on the Chlorophyll Content of Lettuce and Mustard" was conducted in order to determine the effects of different fertilizers on the chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard. Specifically, it aimed to a)determine the effects of different fertilizers on the chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard; b) determine the effects of different fertilizers on the stomatal count of lettuce and mustard; and c) correlate the effects of different fertilizers on the chlorophyll content and stomatal count of lettuce and mustard. The lettuce and mustard seedlings were planted at the researcher's house at Gen. E. Aguinaldo, Cavite from January to March 2006. The seedlings were subjected to four treatments each replicated two times. The treatments used were as follows: Tl, pure garden soil; T2, organic fertilizer; T3, magnesium fertilizer; T4, urea fertilizer. Spectrophotometric analysis of chlorophyll pigrnents was used to measure the chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard. A functional microscope was used to determine the stomatal count of lettuce and mustard. Organic fertilizer obtained the highest effect on the chlorophyll content of lettuce and on the stomatal count of mustard, while urea got the highest effect on the chlorophyll content of mustard and on the stomatal count of lettuce. Generally, lettuce obtained higher chlorophyll content and stomatal count than mustard. This is caused by the variety of lettuce used in the study, which was a heat tolerant variety. Because it is heat tolerant, lettuce was able to absorb ore sunlight that caused it to obtain a higher absorbance of chlorophyll pigments than mustard. In terms of the stomatal count, lettuce, which was able to absorb more heat, was also able to form more stomates than mustard.

The study entitled "Effects of Different Fertilizers on the Chlorophyll Content of Lettuce
and Mustard" was conducted in order to determine the effects of different fertilizers on the
chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard. Specifically, it aimed to a)determine the effects of
different fertilizers on the chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard; b) determine the effects of
different fertilizers on the stomatal count of lettuce and mustard; and c) correlate the effects of
different fertilizers on the chlorophyll content and stomatal count of lettuce and mustard.
The lettuce and mustard seedlings were planted at the researcher's house at Gen.
E. Aguinaldo, Cavite from January to March 2006. The seedlings were subjected to four
treatments each replicated two times. The treatments used were as follows: Tl, pure garden
soil; T2, organic fertilizer; T3, magnesium fertilizer; T4, urea fertilizer.
Spectrophotometric analysis of chlorophyll pigrnents was used to measure the
chlorophyll content of lettuce and mustard. A functional microscope was used to determine the
stomatal count of lettuce and mustard.
Organic fertilizer obtained the highest effect on the chlorophyll content of lettuce and on
the stomatal count of mustard, while urea got the highest effect on the chlorophyll content of
mustard and on the stomatal count of lettuce.

Generally, lettuce obtained higher chlorophyll content and stomatal count than mustard.
This is caused by the variety of lettuce used in the study, which was a heat tolerant variety.
Because it is heat tolerant, lettuce was able to absorb ore sunlight that caused it to
obtain a higher absorbance of chlorophyll pigments than mustard. In terms of the stomatal
count, lettuce, which was able to absorb more heat, was also able to form more stomates than
mustard.
