Next-Generation Smart Greenhouse: Integrating Universal Interaction Technologies

Agriculture is the largest employment sector in Bangladesh, making up 14.2% of GDP in 2017 and employing about 42.7% of the workforce. To support the GDP and grater employment, uses of the latest technology in agricultural areas are much more needed. Farmers still using the convention way to grow crops, which leads to less production, high labor cost, more manpower needed to monitor and maintenance the yield system. This study focuses on IoT-based smart greenhouse agricultural monitoring and automation, which provides farmers with real-time data and insights into a variety of topics such as data monitoring, controlling, automation crop yield, and cost effectiveness. An ESPS266-based hardware and Adafruit platform have been designed to monitor extracted data such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, automatic water irrigation and automatic hot air exhaust systems. The system's benefit is proved in a comprehensive manner through defined programming, hardware results, and data analysis, reducing the need for human monitoring and watering of the system, hot air will be expelled from the field, resulting in greater crop development up to 15-50% higher crop yield on the same field.
