Abstract

In recent years, greater investment in science and technology in agriculture have create attention into significant improvements in agriculture. Plant’s health is very crucial in agricultural sector because it can cause significant reduction in both quality and quantity of the crops if the plant is not well cared for. In this era, there is lot of factors affecting the growth of the plants that can limit a healthy plants production. The efficiency of plant’s growths is heavily depending on the environmental parameters such as moisture of the soil, light intensity, and pH level of water, which is varied differently according to the plant type. The objective of this project is to design a plant monitoring and automated watering system to maintain the health of the plant to maximize the growth of the plant. This project proposed on using a systematic irrigation system for indoor plants. Arduino boards is used to control the inputs and outputs and Blynk apps is used for monitoring plant’s health condition using smartphone. Moisture sensor is used to detect soil moisture in the pot, hence the water motor pump supplies water to the plant automatically in when the moisture detected is low. PH sensor is used for detecting pH level of water while ultrasonic sensor is used to detect water level in the water storage. As conclusion, with this advancement’s innovative techniques, it helps the farmers to produce more yields with less manpower, while maintaining the health of the plant to maximize the growth.
