Greenhouse Monitoring and Control System

Usman Saleh Toro*

Green house environment, used to grow plants under controlled climatic conditions for efficient production, forms an important part of the agriculture and horticulture sector. To create an optimal environment the main parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, ground water, etc. needs to be controlled. The main objective of this project work is to design an automated greenhouse which is purely sensor-based system. The system takes inputs from various sensors, displays the values, and trigger actuators accordingly to control the microclimatic conditions. The developed system is simple, cost efficient and easily installable. The result shows that the system could be more efficient in man power saving and raising the economic value of products.
