Abstract: State University, College of Education, Laboratory School, April 2003. "Design and Fabrication of Hydroponics System for High- Value Vegetables". Advisers: Mr. Arturo Eratia Prof Dulce Ramos The research study entitled "Design and Fabrication of Hydroponics System for High Value Vegetables" attempted to design and fabricate a hydroponics system for high-value vegetables and to evaluate the efficiency of the system. The study was conducted at the Central Experimental Station of Cavite State University from July 30, 2002 to February 3, 2003 The A-frame hydroponics system was designed and fabricated using 4"O PVC pipes, 1"0 PVC pipes, 1"0 PVC elbow, 1"xl" angular steel bars and round steel bars. The nutrient solution, which was placed in a nutrient tank, was allowed to circulate in the system using a submersible pump throughout the growing period. Result showed that the fabricated hydroponics A-frame system can be used efficiently in growing high-value vegetables, specifically pechay and lettuce. Result also showed that growing vegetables in hydroponics system is faster than in the traditional soil growing. A 100% survival of the plants grown was also obtained. Based on the findings of the study, the following are strongly recommended: 1. use of fabricated system in planting leafy vegetables in places where farmlands were not available; 2. placing the hydroponics system in areas where there is enough sunlight for better growth of crops 3. further study on the distance of holes on the pipe and the plant capacity of each hole; and 4. the use of cheaper materials in the construction of the system.

Based on the findings of the study, the following are strongly recommended: 1. use of fabricated system in planting leafy vegetables in places where farmlands were not available; 2. placing the hydroponics system in areas where there is enough sunlight for better growth of crops 3. further study on the distance of holes on the pipe and the plant capacity of each hole; and 4. the use of cheaper materials in the construction of the system.
