Design And Development Of Unmanned Hydroponic Setup Using IoT

Abstract

Farmers need top-notch soil with strong natural mineral contents for the traditional farming approach. It also involves labour costs. It also requires a lot of land and water for weeding and ploughing. When it comes to seasonal plants, the yield falls short of meeting both consumer demands and farmer productivity expectations. Due to these characteristics,a farming technique that is less expensive to implement and thatalso makes it simple to manage and regulate key variables like light, temperature, and humidity all through the year is required. The procedure of cultivating plants hydroponically without light from the sun or soil is described in the proposed study. The level of the fertilizer solution and the presence of algae are monitored, and variables like humidity and temperature are assessed. As the level of the nutrient solution drops, a mechanism for automatically dispensing nutrient solution is also designed. The fresh nutrient solution is supplied to the container after emptying the current solution when presence of algae is identified. Farmers can routinely check their crops to improve their growth and output from the cloud-basedstorage of the sensor data.
