Optimization and Control of Hydroponics Agriculture Using IOT

Abstract

In a developing country like India, where agriculture is the backbone of the country, agriculture is plagued by several problems like small and fragmented land holdings, manures, pesticides, chemicals used for agriculture etc. consumers also increasingly demand for the healthy diet that is rich in quality and free of agricultural chemicals and pesticides. Our project fills in the above said difficulties and demands using hydroponics we can go organic. Since it is done in the controlled environment, it can be done anywhere like room terrace, balcony etc. also large amount of plants can be planted in a less place. This type of agriculture could be high yielding if monitored and controlled efficiently. We propose a project that controls the necessary conditions required for the plant to grow hydroponically and also cultivators may control the agriculture remotely using IoT.
