The escalating demand for sustainable agricultural practices amid a growing global population has propelled the integration of cutting-edge technologies in hydroponic farming. Hydroponics, a soil-less cultivation method known for its efficiency in producing high-quality crops with minimal water usage, is undergoing further enhancement through the incorporation of advanced technologies like the ESP32 microcontroller and sensor-based switch systems.
This research addresses the need for hands-on experience in crop cultivation and the time constraints faced by busy gardeners. The proposed hydroponics system utilizes sensors to monitor temperature and water levels, complemented by a notification system and surveillance camera to ensure crop security. Building on the work of G.W. Michael et al. (2021), the project focuses on an automated monitoring system for vertical hydroponic farming, with a special emphasis on nutrient solution management.
The study identifies a research gap in the integration of a comprehensive monitoring system, aiming to simplify data access for users. The goal is to develop an innovative, sustainable, and economically viable hydroponic system to enhance crop yields, reduce resource usage, and minimize environmental impact. The proposed system not only addresses labor costs but also increases efficiency by automating tasks like watering, fertilizing, and environmental adjustments, allowing growers to focus on business aspects such as marketing and sales.
In conclusion, the researchers affirm the effectiveness of ESP32 microcontrollers in the context of Green Automated Hydroponic Technology. Recommendations highlight the innovative and eco-friendly nature of automated hydroponic systems, emphasizing the integration of Arduino and sensor-based switch systems. This study envisions revolutionizing agriculture by harnessing the power of Green Automated Hydroponics with Arduino and Sensor-Based Switch Systems.
