Study on Placement of Sensors for Readings Accuracy Level Enhancement in Greenhouse

Abstract

The present study tells about the sensors topology followed in a greenhouse to enhance their accuracy. Sensors are deployed in the greenhouse agriculture to enhance their productivity and efficacy. Use of sensors and other actuators have resulted in better surveillance and improved yield for the greenhouse crop. Proper installation of these sensors, after analyzing the coverage region limitations of a sensor is suggested after completion of the present study. By means of this study, it is suggested that the whole crop region should be divided into cells, confirming homogeneity regardless of plant growth, nutrient deposition in the roots. These cells should be equipped with one sensor sending the reading for their region so that the need for unnecessarily increasing the number of sensors in a greenhouse is avoided. The factors which are taken into consideration, first one is ventilation did in a greenhouse that can alter the actual readings of a temp or relative humidity sensor, and second is sunlight on the sensors, it can add additional temperature on the meter.
