Abstract

Agriculture is a major area in the production of food crops and a way to increase productivity with minimal water usage. Traditional agriculture can take a certain amount of time and yield good and healthy crops. However, this research focuses on an innovative fusion of agriculture to improve yield in a shorter period of time, providing a more efficient and effective result when compared to the hydroponics and Cocopeat methods. This fusion includes the use of drip irrigation and hydroponics in agricultural practices, as a way to provide crops with a nutrient solution and all the necessary nutrients for growth. Moreover, the usage of cocopeat to retain moisture helps to save water due to its ability to hold water for a longer period of time. With water scarcity occurring in many places, this fusion method helps to reduce water usage as only 50% of soil and 50% of cocopeat is used. Compared to traditional farming, this fusion method provides higher yields with less water in a shorter period of time.

Key words: Agriculture, water scarcity, fusion method, high yield, farmers friendly, nutrients solution.
