Answer:

Effect of four different proportions of farmyard manure (FYM) in a soil based mix and three different pot volumes on growth of tomato, eggplant and chili peppers in paper pots were studied. Recycled newspaper (density 50 g m−2) was used to prepare pots of volume 45, 82, and 126 cm3. Potting mixes made up of FYM, sand and soil with the FYM proportion ranging from 20% to 80% in equal proportion of sand and top soil were used. Seedling height and dry weight were measured at the end of the seedling stage. The best combination of potting mix and pot volume for the large scale production of seedlings was identified using non-dominated sorting technique. Paper pots of volume 82 cm3 filled with a mix of 80% FYM and rest 20% with equal proportions of sand and top soil were found to be the best option for the large scale production of paper pot seedlings.

Answer:

Repurpose.

Explanation:

The following are the  elements of the 5R principle:

  1. Refuse
  2. Reduce
  3. Reuse
  4. Repurpose
  5. Recycle.

An earthen pot with cracks can be used to grow plants according to the repurpose element of the 5R principle. There are some things, some materials that can be used for different purposes. Just like in the given case, a cracked earthen pot can be used to grow plants in it before being thrown away as waste. If it has cracks one can not use it to store water, however, it can be used for other purposes as well.

The process of using things for other purposes, especially the retired, broken, or cracked materials, is known as repurposing.
