Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Area of Science:

Agricultural Engineering
Computer Science

Background:

Modern agriculture increasingly relies on technology for efficiency.
Aeroponic systems require precise environmental control for optimal yield.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an Internet of Things (IoT) based monitoring system for aeroponic greenhouses.
To improve crop management through real-time data analysis and automated irrigation control.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a four-layer IoT architecture (device, fog, cloud, application).
Integration of sensors for climatic variables and image processing for crop appearance.
Development of an Android application (Aeroponics Monitor) for data visualization and control.
Utilized Thingspeak for data analysis and Firebase for image data storage.

Main Results:

The system successfully monitored climatic variables and crop appearance in real-time.
Calculated Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) indicated water deficiency in seedlings.
The Aeroponics Monitor app provided accessible data and management capabilities.
Ensured data integrity during potential power or network failures.

Conclusions:

The proposed IoT architecture is a valuable tool for aeroponic farming systems.
Real-time monitoring and data analysis enhance decision-making for greenhouse managers.
The system aids in optimizing yield and preventing crop loss through timely interventions.
