INTRODUCTION Background of the Study:
2
Technology is normally used as a primary tool to lessen the need for man-power all in all in major industries like Agriculture. Such types of technology in the form of equipment are Unarmed Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s). Agriculture can be a prime focus for technological advancements to assist in improving plant growth and production.
Statement of the Problem:
Basic field crops such as rice (Oryza sativa), corn and vegetable usually takes a long period of time for growing. This study was conducted in order to test if sound wave vibrations that surrounds almost everything more especially the rice or corn fields in Balayan could affect its growing process.
The technology used here are all either programmed or coded to do the task needed at hand.
Research Questions:
This study aims to answer the following questions:
Can sound vibrations produced from music really affect the growth of plants?
Which among the 3 music genres used for producing sound vibrations prove to be the most effective in growing rice crops?
Would drones be sufficient in enhancing the growth of rice crops?
Is there a significant difference between the drone’s automated programming and the growth-rate of the rice crops?
Significance of the Study:
5
Through this study, rice (Oryza sativa) growth and production will increase, giving farmers and other agriculturists more annual product yield as well as higher affluence for themselves and their families.
This study is done through a process that does not mess with the biological and chemical construct of the crop, but instead would be done through the use of sound waves, artificial light and the measurement of humidity.
Objectives: General Objectives:
“ 6
This study aims to evaluate the capabilities of a drone in increasing the growth of rice crops (Oryza sativa) through automated tests of music genres and their effect on the crops.
Specific Objectives: •
Determine the effect each genre of music had on the rice grain’s height and growth
•
Determine if there is a significant difference between the drone’s automated programming and the growth-rate of the rice crops (Oryza sativa)
Scopes and Limitations
7
This study focuses solely on the potential of Rock N’ Roll, Blues and Classical Music.
Researchers only have control over the amount of time each experimental set-up is exposed to the different music genres. This study will be conducted in Brgy. Gumamela, Balayan, Batangas from September 2018 to February 2019.
Hypotheses Null Hypothesis: ◇
8
There is no significant difference between the drone’s automated programming and the growth-rate of the rice crops (Oryza sativa)
Alternative Hypothesis: ◇
There is a significant difference between the drone’s automated programming and the growth-rate of the rice crops (Oryza sativa)
