Introduction
This 13-week study evaluated the effects of different irrigation water sources (rainwater versus groundwater) across four commercial crop species.
Methods & Tools
We processed raw agricultural sensor data using:
- R for statistical execution
- ggplot2 and forcats for plotting growth trends
- mixed-effects modeling to account for soil anomalies
Results
Rainwater irrigation yielded a 14% increase in crop height over groundwater across the test period, with statistically significant variance observed in specific soil types.
