Purpose
Agriculture can be optimized using information such as temperature, humidity of environment, pH level of soil and total dissolved solid count for the irrigation water. Purpose of this project is to find the ideal conditions for lettuce growth so that lettuce grows in optimum duration or, if ideal conditions are not possible, then to be able to predict the time it takes for lettuce to grow fully based on the information about said factors available. Goal is to understand how each factor affects lettuce growth and utilize the same.
Scope / Major Project Activities
| Activity | Description |
| Preliminary analysis of data | Setting summaries, basic exploration of data etc to be carried out |
| Factor specific impact, larger trends and themes in growth patterns | Underlying themes to be explored for combination of factors |
| Prediction model | Create a prediction model conveying prediction for total days it takes for lettuce to be grown fully |
This project does not include
- Does not include information about lettuce yield in weight or size, the study is only concerned with duration it takes for lettuce to grow fully.
- Does not involve data earlier than 3rd August 2023 and beyond the third week of September 2023 (only one lettuce growth cycle of 70 plants)
Deliverables
| Deliverable | Description/ Details |
| Initial Insights | Impact of various factors on growth period |
