Monitoring of Plant Growth Using Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor and Camera

The digital revolution has made a significant step forward in the application of information technology in monitoring the changes taking place around us. The Internet of Things is widely used to modernize and optimize agricultural processes. Achieving an ideal model of information technology management in agriculture requires data collection that will ensure an adequate range of impact on agricultural cultures. In this paper, the lifespan of one type of ornamental flower will be monitored by several sensors. Monitoring parameters such as soil moisture and temperature are easily performed using various sensors that immediately measure the desired values. Numerous papers report on monitoring and controlling plant growth, but most of them are based only on monitoring values obtained from sensors. Using various sensors and a camera, growers can react promptly and see the change in leaves and/or flowers. Monitoring changes with sensors and cameras provides data that help automate the cultivation of cultures.
