SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL FARMING

Abstract

Abstract—Vertical farming is the method of producing different types of fruits and vegetables and many more on vertically inclined surfaces. Instead of farming vegetables and other foods in traditional manner such as in a field or a greenhouse, this method produces foods in vertically stacked layers commonly integrated into other structures like a ladder. The primary aim of vertical farming is to minimize the space and maximize the crop output. In Vertical farming, the farmers face the issue of proper irrigation because of the height of vertical stack layers. Therefore, In this research, a IOT based smart irrigation system is proposed to dissolve this issue. The proposed irrigation system is based on IoT and it is a very clever irrigation system capable of doing automate irrigation procedures by analyzing the moisture level of soil and different weather conditions and the weather circumstance.
