Abstract

Vertical farming is the process of growing vegetation in vertically assembled layers, in this system
land can be used more efficiently and can be implemented in an indoor environment. The major idea
of vertical farming is to make a technology in which all the environmental factors that are suitable for
plant growth can be controlled. In Vertical farming, various modern organic farming techniques are
being used like hydroponics, aeroponics or aquaponics. The hydroponic system of farming is a
fascinating method that uses a lesser amount of land. In hydroponic system, crops are grown-up using
a nutrient solution mixed in water and without the use of soil. In this project, an automated
hydroponic system is made by the implementation of IoT(Internet of Thing) to provide a controlled
environment for the plants. The major function of this project is to make a system that uses IoT
devices to monitor various factors like temperature, humidity, pH of nutrient solution, CO2 content in
the air, total dissolved solution(TDS), and intensity of LED lights. To make the system easy to control,
an android application is used to control IoT devices through a web browser on mobile phones and
other handheld or compact devices. With this development, monitoring of the hydroponic system has
become easier and plant growth can be looked after from time to time with no worker at the event.
