SMART HYDROCULTURE CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON IOT AND FUZZY LOGIC

摘要

Limited agricultural land due to increasing development leads to a decline in agricultural production capacity. Therefore, a new solution for modern agriculture is needed to overcome this problem. Technology is useful for modern agriculture, such as the use of IoT for hydroponic farming systems. By using IoT with a smart controlling system, the hydroponic agriculture becomes easier. With the use of IoT in this research, nutrition, pH management, and temperature can be controlled easily. This research also uses fuzzy logic to make the decision making in the control system more efficient and precise. The results of experiments with bok choy and lettuce indicate that the system automatically measures the nutritional value and pH according to the time specified. Then, the system will immediately adjust the value of nutrient content and pH within the specified range. Smart control system shows better plant growth which can be seen from the growth of the leaves' width, length and plant's height.
