Prospective of Automation for Checkbook Method in Cultivating Allium cepa

摘要

This paper shows a small experiment for analyzing the yield of Allium cepa with the help of checkbook method. This manual method is used for maintaining the schedule of irrigation in a kitchen garden which is a closed area nearby the living place. The paper also focuses on the careful steps needed in performing the agricultural practices for cultivating any vegetable crop. The result of experiment suggests the need for automation in irrigation as various limitations are observed in following the conventional cultivation practices. Hence for improving the yield of the crop, a scientific automated irrigation system is proposed by harnessing solar energy in the urban and rural sector.
