different nutritive components of the samples. Sample 1 had the following
composition: .36% Nitrogen, .28% Phosphorus, .38% Potassium, 8.65%
moisture. For sample 2, the following values were obtained: .33% Nitrogen,
.16% Phosphorus, .39% Potassium, 6.56% moisture. For sample 3, had the
following composition : .30% Nitrogen, .24% Phosphorous, .46% Potassium
and 5.85% moisture. Sample 4 was as follows: .40% Nitrogen, .52%
Phosphorous, .44% Potassium and 6.30% moisture.
The group chose tomato as the experimental plant because of its
availability, its relatively short maturation period, and most important, its
need for nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, otherwise
known by their atomic symbols N-P-K.

Erguiza, Sharon C Lopez
ABSTRACT
This research project is aimed at determining the phytochemical
properties of the leaves of Philodendron leacerum. The phytochemical
screening which was done on the ethanolic extract of the plant’s leaves
showed that alkaloids, quarternary and / or amine oxide bases and
polyphenolic compounds were present.
Using paper-disc diffusion method, the ethanolic extracts were tested
for their inhibitory effects against S cerevisiae, Eschrichia coli, Mycobacterium,
Fusarium monoliforme, and Rhizopus arrhizus. The extracts showed no
substantial inhibitory activities against these microorganisms.

ABSTRACT
Mango leaves are known to be used by barrio folk in dishes such as
kilawin, sinigang and pinangat. This study has determined the basic nutritive
constituents of mango leaves using proximate analysis. The mature leaves
were found to contain nutrient in the following amounts: crude fat, 5.32%;
crude fiber, 7.866%; moisture, 58.1265%; ash 6.465%; carbohydrates,
22.2%; protein, only a trace. On the other hand, the young leaves were
found to contain nutrients in the following percentages: crude fat, 2.125%;
crude fiber, 4.43%; moisture, 78.5385%; ash, .17%; carbohydrates,
14.7365%; protein, just a trace, too. The relatively high carbohydrate, fiber
and fat content of the leaves make them a feasible feed supplement for
