Abstract

Rapid industrialization and urbanization has led to decrease in agricultural land and productivity worldwide. This is combined with increasing demand of chemical free organic vegetables by the educated urban households, and thus, greenhouses are quickly catching trend for their specialized advantages especially in extreme weather countries. They provide an ideal environment for longer and efficient growing seasons and ensure profitable harvests. The present paper designs and demonstrates a comprehensive IoT based Smart Greenhouse system that implements a novel combination of monitoring, alerting, cloud storage, automation and disease prediction, viz. a readily deployable complete package. It continuously keeps track of ambient conditions like temperature, humidity and soil moisture conditions to ensure a higher yield of crop and immediate redressal in case of abnormal conditions. It also has a built-in automatic irrigation management system. Finally, it employs the most efficient deep learning model for disease identification with leaf images. Furthermore, with memory and storage optimization through cloud storage, an individual living in the city can also build a greenhouse and can monitor it from his home and take redressal methods as and when desired.

Highlights

With increasing globalization and consequent urbanization, land under agriculture has been reducing
It leverages the combination of sensor data to obtain input based on Temperature, Humidity and soil moisture sensors and images taken from camera placed in the greenhouse to evaluate three different deep learning models
1) Temperature and Humidity were monitored and stored on cloud account on ThingSpeak as shown in Fig. 5 and 6 that can be continuously monitored in real time even from a remote area

Summary

Introduction

With increasing globalization and consequent urbanization, land under agriculture has been reducing. With the increasing awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides and fertilizers on human body and environment, demands have risen for organic plants and vegetables. Greenhouses have emerged to be highly beneficial gardening solutions especially in extreme weather condition countries. Greenhouses offer a controlled environment which guarantees higher yields in a sustainable pattern. The controlled growing pattern with a longer growing season allows for round the year harvest with a diversity of crops, exotic plants in particular. The greenhouse structure shield plants from extreme weather protection such as strong, gusty winds or high intensity ultraviolet rays. The enclosed structure allows for diffused penetration of light and prevents pest attacks and damage of crops by stray animals reducing potential man-animal conflicts
