Considering the properties of banana peels as potential organic fertilizer, the researchers will combine these main ingredients such as: tap water and the banana peel. Wherein the study says that banana peel scientifically proven rich in protein, 20 to 30 percent fiber and other components such as starch, sugars, lignin, tannins and minerals in varying amounts. The researchers believe that if a fertilizer is rich in nutrients it can help grow a plant. Banana peel also helps add healthy organic material, which help the soil retain water and lighter when added to your garden.

To test the efficacy of banana peel extract as organic fertilizer, the researchers will prepare three pots labeled Pot A, Pot B and Pot C. Each pot will be planted with three Monggo seeds, two inches deep in the soil. Organic and inorganic fertilizers will not be used in plants planted in Pot A, organic fertilizer will be used in plants planted in Pot B and inorganic fertilizer will be used in plants planted in Pot C. The researchers will then observe the growth and development of the plants in two to three weeks.
The data revealing the growth and development of plants in pots A, B and C will be presented in tabular form to measure and compare the efficacy of banana peel extract as to inorganic fertilizer.

Research Paradigm
Figure 1: Diagram showing the relationship of the variables in the study.
This study will be based on the concept that banana peel is a potential ingredient in formulating organic fertilizers as it is scientifically proven to generally contain 6 to 9 percent protein, 20 to 30 percent fiber and other components such as starch, sugars, lignin, tannins and minerals in varying amounts. Banana peel will help add calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphates, potassium and sodium, all of which are important to the healthy growth of both flowering and fruiting plants. Bananas peel also helps add healthy organic material, which help the soil retain water and lighter when added to your garden.
In preparing the banana peel extract as organic fertilizer, the researchers will use one kilogram of banana peel and one liter of tap water. In addition, the researchers will use kitchen knife, cutting board, funnel, ruler, container and strainer in the process of preparing the banana peel extract and the actual experiment.
In reviewing related literature, secondary sources include books, encyclopedias, periodicals, thesaurus, and online journals.

Nowadays, commercial fertilizers are very costly and may contain harmful substances that is detrimental to fruit-bearing plants. The researchers decided to conduct this study because (scientific name) (saba) is a fruit that is locally produced in the country. It can be easily found mostly on street vendors who sell turon. Saba has the highest content of nutrients because it has the deepest roots among other banana plants which can absorb more nutrients in the soil. Like all bananas, it is rich in potassium which is essential for a plant's photosynthesis.
Based on the research questions, the researchers formulated the following null hypotheses:
The efficacy of using banana peel as organic fertilizer
main materials:
1. the peel of Musa paradisiaca L.
2. tap water
other materials:
1. Ramgo’s Groviota Bloom Booster fertilizer
2. Monggo seed
The experiment will be conducted within 14 days starting from January 30, 2016 up to February 13, 2016.
