Environmental conditions are highly dynamic and constantly changing, directly affecting the growth and yield of plants and crops. To achieve optimal plant growth, higher crop productivity, and efficient use of water and resources, it is essential to maintain the right climatic conditions.
Our project, “Automation of Artificial Greenhouse,” focuses on creating a smart, automated greenhouse system that continuously monitors and regulates key environmental factors including light intensity, humidity, soil moisture, and temperature to provide ideal conditions for plant development.
The system uses a temperature sensor to track real-time greenhouse temperature and automatically activate a heater or cooler as needed. A soil moisture sensor monitors the soil’s water level and triggers a drip irrigation system when moisture falls below the required threshold. Humidity sensors measure air humidity and operate sprayers or sprinklers to maintain optimal levels. Light sensors detect light intensity and control artificial lighting, such as halogen lamps, when natural light is insufficient.
This project is powered by a microcontroller-based system, making it affordable, efficient, and easy to implement. The use of simple, readily available electronic components ensures the solution is cost-effective, flexible, and portable making it suitable for farmers, researchers, and greenhouse operators seeking sustainable, automated agriculture solutions.
