Abstract
Effect Carrot Extract on truncheons was conducted to produce a root inducing
solution, test its effectiveness in terms of its root induction and propagation and to compare
its effectiveness with the normal way of planting trees using the cutting method. This study
aimed to produce a root inducing solution using Carrot extract as the main material. Two-
way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that the alternative hypothesis “Carrot Extract
can fasten the growth and propagation of truncheons”. For the results, to prove that the study
carrot extract is capable of being an alternative root inducing solution on truncheons. The
researchers will found out by testing both different kind of root inducing solution, the
alternative and commercialized root inducing solution in observing the number of leaves,
roots, flower and height of the plant. The effect of Carrot Extract was tested by the changes
done by the extract to the truncheon and the number of leaves, roots, flowers and height of
the plant being present in the entire experimentation and observation. By that, the researchers
recommend that to fasten the root inducing process, increase the amount of Carrot extract to
Introduction
It has been the practice to plant trees by seedlings or cuttings, but it takes a very long
time for a tree to grow. This is costly since regular watering, fertilization, and fencing are
still needed. Carrot extract and ethyl alcohol are found to have growth and rooting
hormones. That is considered when combined produce a root inducing solution which helps
the rapid growth of truncheon. Plant hormones as testosterone, estrogen, or even adrenaline.
Hormones are chemical signals that coordinate the different parts of an organism.
Naphthalene is an organic compound with its simplest polyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is
a white crystalline solid. It has growth hormones and auxins. One of these is carrots. The
characteristic of the carrots is that they contain beta-carotene, a component found in orange
vegetables. Kalachuchi is a small, deciduous tree, 3-7 meters high, with a crooked trunk,
smooth and shining stems, succulent, with abundant sticky, milky latex. The carrot property
most of the benefits can be attributed to their beta-carotene and fiber content. Carrot extract
helps grow plants with growth hormones. Hard and woody stems are hard to stem cut
because it is more difficult to root the wood, and the wood is firm and does not bend easily.
Methodology
Researcher’s residence. Wash the carrots to remove the dirt then, weigh 15g of carrots, after
weighing. Using a knife, and a chopping board, chop the carrots into cubes then place the
carrot cuts in the blender. Measure 15ml of distilled water and then mix this inside the
blender. Then blend the cubes with distilled water. After the extraction, place the extract on
a clean container, do this in all the treatments and replicates. Cut a circular Styrofoam to
cover the top of the container then make a hole at the center of the styro. Cut 24 pieces of
mature stem of Kalachuchi plant with the length of 6 inches long and insert them at the
center of the styro. Be sure that the tip of the stem will directly in contact with the extract.
After 12-14 days. Observe the changes in the root induction; record all the observed changes
done by the extract to the truncheon. Count the roots who have grown the measure of the
inducing solution than the Commercialized root inducing solution in the propagation of
truncheons. Based from the gathered data. In the number of leaves, Treatment 3 has the
highest mean that gained the mean of 2.8 in each replicate it has the most number of leaves
and one of the replicate is about to bud one flower, while the control treatment has the lowest
mean of leaves that gained 1, In Treatment 1 it gained the mean of 1.3, and in Treatment 2 it
gained the mean of 1.8. As of the height of the stem, Treatment 3 has the highest mean that
gained a mean of 6.8, while in the control treatment has the lowest mean that gained 6.2, In
Treatment 1 gained the mean of 6.2, and In Treatment 2 gained the mean of 6.3. As of the
result, the kalachuchi stem grow more leaves and make the stem grow faster in the Carrot
Acknowledgement
