Design and Development of Onion Storage Shade for Better Ventilation and Longer Life
Abstract: Onions are one of the most important cash crops for farmers in India and many other countries. However, most harvested onions are lost every year due to improper storage. Traditional storage methods, such as keeping onions in heaps under trees, in closed rooms, or in poorly ventilated sheds, do not provide sufficient airflow. As a result, moisture accumulates, leading to sprouting, fungal growth, rotting, and physical damage. These losses reduce …

Microcontroller Based Automatic Thermal Control Mechanism in Small Scale Poultry Farm
Abstract: Improvements to poultry housing systems need to focus on providing an environment that satisfies the bird’s thermal requirements in brooding and rearing duration. Newly hatched birds have a poor ability to control body temperature, and require some form of supplementary heating, particularly in the first few days after hatch, particularly in too cold and too hot weather. This paper presents the design of automatic thermal control mechanism in small-scale poultry …
