“…The more nutrients present in the water, the higher the concentration, leading to a higher EC and vice versa. Every plant has an ideal EC that is crucial for its growth, and the inability to maintain the EC in the vital optimal range in the nutrient solution adversely affects its growth [3]. Therefore, maintaining the optimal nutrient density in the solution is a critical aspect and is possible by keeping the EC at the ideal level depending on the type of plant being cultivated.…”
In hydroponics, the growth of plants is primarily dependent on the precise configuration of the nutrient solution supplied to them. Continuous monitoring and control of the nutrients in the hydroponic tank is essential to maintain optimal growth requirements at all times. Manual monitoring and control of the system is inefficient, as it requires human intervention and can lead to errors and variations in the nutrients supplied. This study presents a system to automatically track pH, current nutrient, and water level in the tank and supply the exact amount of pH solution, nutrient solution, and water whenever needed. The proposed system, when integrated with IoT technology, can help achieve better control over the farm and higher productivity with a reduced amount of manual labor.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
