This study was conducted to determine if simulated lightning has a significant affect on the growth on legumes specifically monggo plants grown in isolated area.
Two groups were set up. One served as the control group and the other was the experimental group wherein it was treated with simulated lightning. After the fifth day of planting, observations were made daily on the number of leaves and height of the stems. The total dry weight per pot was recorded at the end of experimental period. Results showed that the values taken from the experimental group were larger compared to the values taken from the control group. To determine if the results have a significant effect, the researchers used T-test for equal sizes. The statistical findings showed that there is a minimal difference on the growth of the plants and the difference is considered to be not significant.
