IOT Based Smart Hydroponics System
摘要
Currently traditional agriculture soil based method is facing various factors such as urbanization, climate change, natural disaster, water scarcity, indiscriminate use of chemicals and pesticides which is depleting the land fertility. To overcome this and knowing the importance of agriculture in day to day life IoT is playing a vital role for improving yield and the production of the crops. The soil- less method of cultivating crops is being introduced and gaining popularity all over the world using Hydroponics technique. By using this technique we can produce 5 times higher than the normal method of producing crops. Hydroponics helps in efficient resources management and quality of food, it requires low cost techniques which are easy to operate and maintain; requires less labour and lower overall setup. The NFT technique has been used throughout the world for successful production of leafy as well as other vegetables with 70 to 90% savings of water.
