Development of a simple data logging system to monitor growth response of papaya cv. red lady under zinc and boron soil treatments
Author(s): Maria Gonzales and David Oliveira
Abstract: This research aims to develop a simple data-logging system for monitoring the growth response of Papaya cv. Red Lady under zinc and boron soil treatments. The increasing use of micronutrient fertilizers, such as zinc and boron, in agriculture highlights the need for efficient monitoring systems that can track plant growth parameters in real-time. In this experiment, a microcontroller-based data-logging system was designed to record environmental variables such as soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels, alongside key plant growth parameters like stem height, leaf area, and fruit yield. The system integrates sensors with data transmission capabilities, ensuring continuous data collection throughout the growing season. The recorded data were analyzed using statistical methods to determine the effect of different soil treatments on the growth performance of the papaya plants. Preliminary results indicate that both zinc and boron positively influenced growth parameters, with combined treatments yielding the most significant improvements. The data-logging system proved to be reliable and cost-effective, offering a practical solution for agricultural research and field monitoring. This research not only provides valuable insights into micronutrient impacts on papaya growth but also showcases the potential of simple technology in enhancing precision agriculture practices. The system's scalability makes it suitable for broader applications, potentially improving crop management in diverse farming systems.
