An Automated Greenhouse Monitoring System.

Abstract

Currently, a significant issue in Kerala is its substantial reliance on adjacent states for food supplies. A major factor contributing to the collapse of agriculture in our state is the scarcity of affordable labor. This issue may be resolved by automation in agriculture [1]. The implementation of the "AUTOMATED GREENHOUSE MONITORING SYSTEM" has the potential to initiate a green revolution in agriculture. The use of this method may enhance cultivation inside a regulated environment. The greenhouse environment, used for cultivating plants under regulated climatic conditions for optimal output, is a significant component of the agricultural and horticulture industries. Optimal environmental conditions are essential for maximum plant development, enhanced agricultural yields, and effective resource use, including water. Automating the data collecting procedure for soil conditions and numerous meteorological elements that influence plant development facilitates information collection with reduced manpower demands. Current EMSs are cumbersome, prohibitively expensive, difficult to operate, and less valued by a technologically inexperienced workforce. This project utilizes the very advanced PIC 16F877A microcontroller to analyze temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and lighting conditions [2].
