ADVANCED HYDROPONIC SYSTEM WITH MORBIFIC LEAF DETECTION

Agriculture is the largest livelihood provider in India. It significantly contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), current agricultural advancement is being challenged like never before with sustainable food production and security. In India, dependence on technically independent agricultural productivity contribute majors to underdevelopment and poverty. The major challenge conventional farming practice need to overcome is the unpredictable climate change. Conventional soil dependent farming practice make farmers vulnerable to various manifestations of climate changes. It is necessary that modern farmers need to be technically equipped with precise management and monitoring of the cultivation with access to the scientific data about the field environment. This enables to execute intelligent and informed decisions in time. These can be achieved by alternate new and latest technology of farming such as hydroponics. This paper aims to design a fully automatic hydroponic system, with twenty four hours red LED lighting technology .This increases the photosynthetic rate of plants and there by increases productivity of plants . The system is integrated with leaf disease monitoring. The plant growth using the proposed system is compared with ordinary plant growth and it is found to be better. Growth rate is monitored with the help of IOT
