The Effect of Beta-Carotene contain in The Pumpkin using IoT Technology in Polyhouse

Abstract

Pumpkins contain a significant amount of beta-carotene. Beta-Carotene has numerous biological functions in the human body and because human is not able to synthesize any of them, it is necessary to supply these valuable compounds with food or pharmaceuticals. Internet of thing (IoT) in agriculture is not only reduce the man efforts but also improve the productivity and the efficiency. This research is primarily about the study of effect of beta-carotene in pumpkin between polyhouse and outdoor, because polyhouse is a closed structure protect the plants from weather conditions, insect and pest attacks. The irrigation in polyhouse using automatic drip irrigation, which operate according to the soil moisture threshold. Air temperature control using Fan based on temperature threshold. Analysis of beta carotene contain in pumpkin samples with polyhouse and outdoor process were determined by the samples were collected for three time periods found that the linear regression equation of the curve was y = 0.2111x-0.09161, with a coefficient r2 = 0.9975. The result show that, plants growing in the green house most are higher than the outdoor.
