Abstract
A research work was carried out on cultivation of basil crop under hydroponics by controlling the environmental parameters at Dr. NTR College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla. The results of research work conducted for two seasons i.e., season_1(April and May) and season_2(August and September) on environmental parameters is presented in this paper. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) was used in the hydroponics to increase the growth of basil crop. The environment was maintained using foggers to bring the temperature and humidity to optimum level. Using proper instrumentation, the foggers were operated to maintain these two environmental parameters. CO2 , temperature and humidity were measured with ‘Rotronic CP11’ make instrument. Polynomial equations were fitted for the humidity and temperatures maintained inside the hydroponic polyhouse which are discussed in this paper.
