Abstract


Plantation methods, including hydroponics, have been extensively used in agriculture. They also employed a time-based irrigation system for the plant. The goal of this project was to create a self-sustaining indoor plantation system that uses soil moisture sensor data to control the flow of water when the sensor detects that the soil is almost dry. Soil conditions are monitored, and crops are irrigated more efficiently with the help of this new technology. Water is conserved by just watering the plants when they absolutely need it, rather than watering them continually all the time as the traditional method would require. Light-dependent resistors are used to measure the brightness of the surroundings in this project. As a result, the grow light will be activated when the ambient light level drops. With the help of a soil moisture sensor and a light-dependent resistor (LDR), one can create a system that automatically waters and lights plants. Finally, the soil moisture sensor collects data for the sprinkler system and displays it on the LCD screen, and then the appropriate measures are taken. When the soil's humidity level is high, the water that flows will be stopped.
