EFFECT OF PEANUT (Arachis hypogaea) LEAF EXTRACT AND
FERMENTED PEANUT LEAVES ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD
OF BITTER GOURD (Momordica charantia)
Researcher: Rae Anne S. Adelantar
Address Pamuringao Garrido, Cabatuan, Iloilo
School Cabatuan National Comprehensive High School Summary:
This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Peanut Leaf Extract and fermented Peanut leaves on the growth and yield of Bitter Gourd. Distinctly, this
study was carried out to determine the effect of Peanut leaf extract and fermented Peanut leaves
0
on the growth of
Bitter Gourd in terms of height after four weeks of application and the significant effect of Peanut leaf extract and fermented Peanut leaves on the yield of Bitter Gourd in terms of the weight of the fruit yield after eight weeks of application.
This study used Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) as the experimental design. There were four treatments namely: Treatment A (Commercial Fertilizer), Treatment B (Fermented Peanut Leaf), Treatment C (Peanut Leaf Extract), and Treatment D (Negative Control). The treatments were replicated thrice. The Peanut leaf extract was extracted using mortal and pestle. All fertilizers were applied by Band Application or by applying the fertilizer inches away from the plant. The data concerning the growth were gathered by measuring the stem using a meter stick after four weeks of application while data regarding the yield were gathered on the eight week after application of said extract. The weight of the fruits was measured using a weighing scale.
Analysis of the data revealed that the use of Peanut leaf extract and fermented Peanut leaves has a high significant effect on the growth of Bitter Gourd in
terms of the height of the stem in feet. The data also showed that Treatment B or the Fermented Peanut leaves extract has a high significant effect on the growth of Bitter Gourd compared to other treatments but as effective as the Treatment A or the Positive Control (Mixed Urea and Triple-14). It also showed that the use of Peanut Leaf Extract has a significant effect on the yield of Bitter Gourd in terms of the fruits bore by the plant. The data also revealed that Treatment B or Fermented Peanut Leaves extract has a high significant effect on the yield of Bitter Gourd compared to other treatments.
Conclusion:
The researcher concludes that the Peanut Leaf Extract has a high significant effect on the growth and yield of Bitter Gourd in terms of the height of the stem in meter and weight of the fruits bore by the plant. The fermented Peanut Leaves extracts have a high significant effect on the Bitter Gourd compared to other treatments. With regard to the yield of the plant, the fermented Peanut leaves extract has a high significant effect on the Bitter Gourd.

A good night's sleep
for a healthy body
By: Rovie de la Cruz & Chinny Mae Genovesa
Sleep is as important as to a healthy lifestyle as eating properly and exercising.
Studies have suggested that too little sleep may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and depression. Getting a good night's sleep is one of the simplest things a person can do to stay healthy.
How much sleep do you need?
A good night's sleep means waking up rested and energized. On average, a healthy adult needs between six and eight hours of sleep a night, according to Dr.
Ravi Seshadi, a sleep expert and clinical director of MD Specialist Healthcare at the Paragon Medical Centre in Singapore.
However, the amount of sleep it takes to achieve rejuvenation varies from person to person. People
who lose sleep every night will suffer from what is called sleep debt. The sleep debt is compounded over a prolonged period and recovery will take much longer than the actual hours lost.
The time it takes for a sleep deficit to accurate depends on how consistent the problem is. Losing a couple hours of sleep for several nights is enough.
Why are we so sleep deprived?
People were so busy that they just don't have sufficient time to get the sleep they need. They suffer from sleep disturbances because they indulge in activities that extend way beyond their bedtime. It's not just work that makes them cut down on sleep but also their lifestyle. Simply socializing or surfing the Internet can engage people far beyond their bedtimes.
How important is a good night's sleep?
Sleep is imperative to maintaining one's health. Not getting enough sleep can compromise your immune system. The immune system works best when you're asleep said Stanley Coren, author of Sleep Thieves. When one is sleeping, the natural cell killers are generated. Natural killer cells are produced in the bone marrow and found in the blood and lymph fluid. Natural killer cells are part of the body defense system against external infections.
Sleep is important in keeping not only your waistline trim, but your brain activity balancedas well according to Dr. Moral of the Philippines. During sleep, brain neurotransmitters – the chemicals that deliver messages between nerve cells in the brain – are replenished. Any form of stress, including lack of sleep results in the depletion of the brain chemicals thus causing

Citric acid is a "Chelating agent" and, as such, can hold on to ions of iron, calcium or magnesium. Rust is iron oxide, which is normally insoluble in water. When citric acid grabs on to the iron ion, however, it becomes water soluble and the rust can be washed away. Citric acid can also bind to the calcium and magnesium in soap scum to help remove it from surfaces. Lemon's fresh scent has helped to sell it as a cleaner.

Eat Colours for Good Health
Look out for foods that are deep blue, purple, red, green, orange and yellow – they contain carotenoids and anthocyanins, which have health-enhancing nutrients to protect against heart disease and cancer. These foods are rich in antioxidants and help prevent cell damage and reduce risk of degenerative diseases. USDA's Diet and Human Performance Laboratory recommends.

Dark Green Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale are good sources of calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
Red Tomatoes, cranberries and pomegranates are beneficial sources of anthocyanins and lycopene, which are possible deterrents to heart disease and cancers of the prostate, cervix and gastrointestinal tract.
Orang/Yellow Squash, carrots and sweet potatoes are great sources
of antioxidants that can promote healthy lungs and fight off squamous cell carcinoma.
Deep Blue/Purple Eggplant, blueberries, strawberries and cherries help lower your risk of heart diseases by boosting the liver to absorb extra cholesterol, as well as improve memory.

Helpful tips for a good night's sleep
Make sure your room is quiet aiid dark and your bed is comfortable.
Get up and go to bed at the same time every day.
Limit your caffeine consumption and nicotine use. And eat dinner at least two or three hours before bedtime – it's more difficult to fall asleep if your body is still breaking down the food you ate. A light snack just before bed time, however, may be helpful.
Exercise regularly. Physical activity early iii the day may promote deeper, better quality sleep. Too-vigorous exercise just before bedtime. however, may delay sleep.
Don't toss and turn for longer than half an hour. Get up and do something such as reading.C calming
Develop a relaxing pre-sleep ritual: have a glass of warm milk or herbal tea, read or take a warm bath.
Get treatment for any medical problems that may contribute to sleep troubles, such as sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. If you still have trouble sleeping, there are a variety of sleeping pills available. Sleeping pills are best used for situational insomnia: a person who normally sleeps well can't do so because of acute stress.
