Research Setting
If given the chance to work with the International Rice Research Institute, the proponents
are planning to conduct this study in their vicinity wherein these authority can supervise and
share their knowledge in this particular field. The setting should be a closed area with the normal
temperature and can be considered an ordinary setting comparable to farmhouses. The
proponents are eager to carry out this study in the said setting since this study is intended to help
ordinary farmers with the rice production in a more efficient manner.
Research Site(s)
The proponents are considering the areas near Nueva Ecija as the research site for this
research since one of the proponents is familiar with the area and is partially well-versed with the
current situation of rice fields in that particular area. Furthermore, the proponents wanted to
initially share it to less fortunate farmers who has been experiencing trouble drying their rice
grains more especially the golden rice grains.
Research Participants
The land cultivators and farmers in IRRI is the prospective research participants of the
research. These particular individuals are knowledgeable enough with the drying of rice grains
and could somehow partake with the enhancement of the system if there is a need and the
proponents believe that farmers are worthy of help since they are working for our staple food.
Research Problem #1
How are we going to know the effectivity and efficiency of the system based in the output and
based in the current situation that the system is trying to improve?
-
The proponents are going to compare the rice grains from the usual drying activity that
the farmers are doing to those rice grains from the system. If in case, the drying of rice
grains demands less time with the help of the system, and provide the same heat from the
sun, the proponents will now be able to know the efficiency of the drying system.
