Horta, compostagem e programação: uma proposta interdisciplinar trabalhada no curso de licenciatura em Química no campus de Picos

Abstract

The large production of solid and organic waste has become a major problem for the environment, which consequently affects the quality of human life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop techniques to dispose of the waste produced by humanity. Therefore, the due work consisted in the reuse of organic waste from the cafeteria of the IFPI Campus Picos through the composting technique. The purpose of the collection was to transform these residues into slurry, liquid extracted from the decomposition of materials, which, when used correctly, has functionality as a biofertilizer. The slurry was inserted in a vegetable garden of chives, in order to evaluate its action by comparing the growth of the planted culture. The evaluation took place in two aspects: The first being the analysis of growth in a controlled irrigation system, where all planted individuals received the same amount of water. And per second, the growth analysis was performed, after the chives started to receive water at random. In the methodology of random water application, an irrigation system by automation was implemented, where, through the Blynk cell phone application, the garden irrigation was turned on and off. Finally, with the intention of explaining the research in the chemical, technological, pedagogical and social aspects, lectures were held for higher education students, as a way of showing the proceeding of all the research, as well as a programming class for Children of the Casa Aliança, with the aim of extending the project to the inserted community, for the creation of a vegetable garden and installation of automation irrigation
