Project Summary

In greenhouses, monitoring and controlling of many parameters are important for the good quality and productivity of plants. But to get the desired result some parameters like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light intensity and soil pH are important for better plant growth. So an Arduino based greenhouse environment monitoring and controlling system using sensors has been designed. For this project, Arduino microcontroller is used. Arduino can receive input from a variety of sensors and it can control motors, lights and other actuators. Four sensors, DHT11 sensor, LDR sensor, Soil moisture sensor are used. DHT11 sensor is used to measure temperature and humidity. Soil moisture sensor measures the water content in soil. LDR sensor is used to measure light intensity. A cooling fan, exhaust fan, water pump, artificial light and motor pump are also connected to the Arduino. All environmental parameters are sent to android mobile phone via offline and online. When temperature exceeds a defined level, the system sends SMS to the mobile user and the mobile user turns on the fan by sending another SMS. When the temperature comes to the normal range, the mobile user turns off the fan by sending another SMS. When humidity exceeds a defined level, the system sends SMS to the mobile user and the mobile user turns on the exhaust fan by sending another SMS. When the humidity comes to the normal range, the mobile user turns off the exhaust fan by sending another SMS. Similarly, when light intensity is lower than a defined level, the system sends SMS to the mobile user and the mobile user turns on the artificial lights by sending another SMS. Finally, when the soil moisture sensor does not sense moisture in soil then the system sends SMS to the mobile user and the mobile user turns on the water pump by sending another SMS. So the user can monitor and control parameters through android mobile application. This device is very much helpful to the farmers to monitor and control environmental parameters at their farms. The farmers need not to go their farms. Any change in the environmental parameter can lead to financial loses in agricultural and pharmaceutical industries and can be life threatening to the users of biomedical industries. By controlling immediately these losses can be prevented.

Project Objectives

Our aim is to develop a farmer friendly agricultural system.

With this project the time wasted in monitoring the fields has been reduced with the help of sensors and alert systems.

The main objective is to replace the old traditional methods of agriculture system as to make it cost effective.

By  introducing a smart agriculture system through IOT the farmer may performs multi task at the same time.

It has basically two parts :

The monitoring part has : 

• To maintain water level.  
• It sense temperature,humidity and soil.
• Monitor multi-task at the mean time.
• Communication between sensors using IOT.

The controlling part include the follow :

• Air temperature control
• Humidity control
• Soil condition control
• Light fading control

Project Implementation Method

• By implementing such a useful system the labour cost will be reduced as well as the field monitoring cost.
• Wireless system will be installed which will work on IOT which is a big achievement.
• Advance method for field monitoring as it will work for long.
• This system overcomes limitations of traditional agricultural.
• We can easily modify the controlling program and change the criteria as required.

Benefits of the Project

• Can be used in Greenhouses, Botanical gardens and farms.
• This project is automated and does not require any human attention.
• For monitoring IoT is used so person can monitor the temperature, humidity level etc. from his home easily.
• We can easily modify the controlling program and change the criteria as required.
• Can be easily implemented.
• This system overcomes limitations of traditional agricultural
• It also reducing labour cost.
• It Will help the farmer to screen more than one rural field in the mean time.
• It will help in increasing the agricultural production 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

This project can be practically implemented in fields for monitoring and controlling of environment factors. It will provide an economic approach to the farmer. The farmer could monitor several fields at a time. The production yield will be increased. It can be commercialized at very low cost.
