IoT based Indoor Hydroponics System

Agriculture plays an important role in the development of many nations including India but it is associated with several other difficulties like weeding, manures, pesticides, and chemicals that are required for the agricultural process. In today's scenario, there is a demand for a healthy diet and lifestyle that is free of these agricultural pesticides. Farming in urban areas has gained a lot of acclaim as it helps in maintaining a better lifestyle but it becomes inconvenient due to the lack of space for making a garden with soil. To solve this problem, the method of soil-less farming i.e, Hydroponics has been introduced. The hydroponic system that has been developed demands soil-less, nutrients and less work space. This system provides quicker growth of the plants, much stronger yields with the utmost quality. In the process of hydroponics, many factors like the pH, temperature, humidity, etc., are needed to be monitored and operated. In this paper, considering the yield and the growth of plants, an efficient approach is provided for the accurate growth of plants with less water usage and minimum need of nutrients using IOT based techniques.
