Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop automated greenhouse system. In order to help farmers in producing fruits that require a specialised climate that is different from the surrounding climate in which they are currently living, it is imperative to build a system that maintains a regulated environment viable for growing strawberry plants. Also, this project compares greenhouse cooling technologies with modern, renewable energy-based ones in order to employ clean energy, reduce the likelihood of environmental impact, and consume less energy, like solar energy. The main problem with greenhouses is horticulture based on optimal management of the greenhouse environment to meet economic and environmental requirements. Extreme heat and humidity needs to be controlled and watering is necessary to provide water. The solution to these problems is the design of automatic greenhouse. The parameters controlled in the greenhouse are the watering system, humidity and temperature sensors. The system is automatic, consumers do not have to be there to physically apply water to the plants, control temperature and humidity in a greenhouse. This system can avoid excessive presence of water in crops and avoid wasting water. These projects have improved the watering system from manual to automated, facilitating remote monitoring to automatically collect greenhouse conditions and data for research purpose. "Development of Automated main brain to control all parameters of the greenhouse environment.
