Sustainable Agriculture | Clean Energy | Environmental Science
Kavitha Iyer

We conducted a series of experiments to demonstrate that our custom-built multi-layered wall could effectively reduce heat transmission, making it a viable option for growing plants in arid regions. We also tested how different colors and durations of grow lights affected plant growth. In addition, we developed our own anti-pest fume stick and applied it to plant samples facing pest attacks and disease. The results were highly promising and point toward a potential agricultural breakthrough for dry and challenging environments.
