 INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study:
 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:
 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:

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)
6
 Scopes and
Limitations
 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.
