Abstract

The study aimed to assess the soil mineral content in Mandaluyong City and its implications for agriculture and the environment. Soil tests were conducted to determine the presence and level of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, addressing the issue of carbon dioxide pollution and the potential for urban agriculture in the city. The research process involved ocular inspections, soil sample collection, and testing using a Soil Test Kit (STK). The findings of the study are expected to provide valuable information for urban agriculture and environmental management in Mandaluyong City.

Soil testing using the STK, and one-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the data. The results revealed differences in pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels in soil samples from different areas in Mandaluyong City. However, the statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA indicated no significant difference in the overall nutrient content among the soil samples. The study concluded that while statistically non-significant, the unique characteristics of certain samples could hold agricultural significance, and targeted fertilizer application could enhance the soil's suitability for cultivation. The study recommended future pursuits to consider a larger and more diverse sampling area within Mandaluyong City.
