Abstract - The agricultural sector is undergoing a
significant transformation with the integration of modern technologies. One of the most influential technologies in this regard is the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of IoT in hydroponic farming is examined in this research, with a particular emphasis on remote monitoring and control systems. The report delves into the benefits, challenges, and potential future developments of utilizing IoT for efficient and sustainable agricultural practices. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology further elevates hydroponic farming, enabling precise monitoring and control of crucial parameters such as nutrient levels, temperature, humidity, pH balance, and light exposure. The abstract highlights the benefits of IoT in hydroponic farming, while also addressing the challenges posed by connectivity, data security, and cost.
Fig -1: Parameters of Remote Monitoring and Control in Hydroponic Farming Traditionally, agricultural operations required significant physical presence, making it challenging for farmers to monitor vast fields or address issues promptly. With IoTenabled remote monitoring, farmers can gather real-time information about soil moisture levels, temperature variations, crop health, and livestock conditions without being physically present on the field. Moreover, IoT enables remote control, allowing farmers to adjust irrigation systems, apply fertilizers, and even manage automated machinery from a centralized location. This technology promotes sustainable agriculture by reducing chemical reliance, enhancing crop yield, and offering disaster prevention capabilities.
Keywords: Hydroponic Farming, Internet of things (IoT), crucial parameters, connectivity, monitoring, control system, crop.
1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is vital in India, where a significant portion of the population depends on it for economic sustenance and development. Traditional farming faces challenges such as unpredictable weather and crop diseases, necessitating modernization. Hydroponic Farming, aided by devices like NodeMCU, allows for controlled cultivation environments. Distant monitoring and control are becoming common in business and academic research nowadays. IoT can be used to implement this. IoT has been employed in hydroponic farming by a number of researchers.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW Dr. Asawari Dudwadkar, et al. This research focuses on designing a hydroponic system which ensures higher growth rate with controlled environment. The main function of hydroponic system is to monitor and to control parameters with the help of actuators present in the system. Apart from that, remote monitoring and controlling of the artificial environment is also done using IoT based applications[1].
With the help of extra nutrients, plants are grown hydroponically without the need for soil. The roots of the plants are directly exposed to the mineral nutrient solution. This guarantees the plant's continued, healthy growth. The irrigation system, and crucial parameters such as temperature, humidity, moisture and pH balance are just a few of the ways in which IoT can be used in hydroponic farming.
