This study aimed to determine the effect of magnets on the growth of Mongo plant. Specifically, it sought to find answers on the following questions: what is the growthrate of Mongo plant using Magnets among set-ups in terms of the following variables: height and  number of leaves is there any significant differences on the growth of Mongo plant using Magnets among set-ups in terms of the above-mentioned variables?

            Furthermore, the researchers of this study were guided by the hypothesis which stated that “there is no significant differences on the effect of three (3) trials with three (3) set-ups on the growth of Mongo plant in terms of height and number of leaves.”

            In addition, the study focused only on the effect of Magnets on the growth of Mongo plant. It employed three(3) trials with three (3) set-ups such as set up-A: controlled group, set up-B: with one (1) Magnet and set up-C: with two Magnets. It had study duration of two (2) weeks or 14 days.

            Nevertheless, an experimental research design called three-group design was used in the study to determine the growth rate of Mongo plant using Magnets in terms of height and number of leaves.

             Based on the results, the Set up C obtained the highest mean of 10.95 interpreted as “Tallest”. In terms of the number of leaves, both set up A and C both obtained the highest mean of 2.00 interpreted as “ Less Leafy”. While set up B was the “ Less Leafy” with the least mean of 1.80. The One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that there is no significant difference on the level of effectivity of magnets on the growth of monggo seeds in all trials since it obtained the probability value of 0.677, means “not significant”. Hence, the hypothesis on height is was “accepted”. It was found out that there is a significant difference on the level of effectivity of magnets on the growth of monggo seeds in all trials since it obtained the probability value of 0.067, means “highly significant” as confirmed by the ANOVA. Hence, the hypothesis tested on the number of leaves was “rejected”.

            Based from the interpretation of the result and findings, the researchers that concluded that it is feasible to use a magnets. It is also observed that the growth rate of mongo plant placed with two magnets was faster than the controlled group.

            Moreover, the hypothesis stated that “there is no significant differences on the effect of magnets on the three trials with three set ups in the growth rate of mongo plants in terms of height” was accepted. While, the hypothesis tested on the number of leaves was rejected. Meaning the researchers assumption is not validated.
