IOT Enabled Smart Plantation and Farming System using Hydroponic Pumps

Cultivation, integrating up to a paramount aspect in Bangladesh, has been affected tremendously over the past few decades due to the utilization of chemicals. Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, arable land under cultivation is decrementing enormously. Organic farming, being the desideratum of the hour, is opted as one of the widely chosen methodology to surmount the prevailing problem in cultivation. Advancements in agriculture have proven to accommodate the cultivators in a number of ways. Cultivation of crops is being done at home, which consumes constrained amount of space and cost. To bring in another technological advancement by breaking all barriers, for organic farming is the Hydroponics where consumption of space and water are way too minimal. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants pristinely utilizing water and nutrients, without soil. The proposed hydroponic system is built upon the concepts of embedded system. The system facilitates the magnification of multiple crops under a single controller. Compulsory supplements for the crops are provided predicated on the inputs obtained from the pH sensor and the water level sensor utilized. The water and nutrient supply to the different varieties of crop is controlled and monitored at customary time intervals. An efficient algorithm has been proposed for controlling all the functionalities. Automation of the hydroponic system amends the efficiency and reduces manual work
