Abstract

The development of the crop grown in the greenhouse depends on the internal environment such as air movement, temperature, humidity, C02 and light. The monitoring and control of this parameter play a vital role in the overall development of the plant, its production and management. Commercially available greenhouse monitoring systems are quite expensive. The Indian poor farmers are unable to deploy this commercial systems. This paper presents a low cost system developed to monitor and control the greenhouse environment. The system is developed using ATMEGA 168 controller Arduino Uno board which is low cost, effective and simple. Various sensors are integrated to this board which monitor and control various parameters. Condensation occurs if temperature and humidity is not maintained properly. This affects the overall growth of plant. Experimental results demonstrates the monitoring and controlling capabilities of the developed system.
