Automation in vertical gardening using LABVIEW

Abstract

The method of cultivating plants and developing them is called Gardening as a part of horticulture. Vertical gardens are another way of maintaining gardens and implanting them in unexpected locations within the cities. Vertical wall plants used when there is not much space for gardening in an area like on a porch or a balcony. The method of growing plants without soil is called Hydroponics while using a nutrient solution. In the hydroponic, the nutrients used can come from many different sources, such as duck manure and artificial nutrient solutions. The main advantage of hydroponics is the less usage of water for agriculture. Unlike horticultural crops, several species within unique expectations are considered by the method and are subject to complex environmental conditions. The oscillations of temperature, light, and humidity need to consider. This technique used to remind the farmer of the schedules of ripping, fertilize spraying, pesticides, and irrigation things through mobile. The proposed work reduces the cost of gardening as well as the amount of water and soil to maintain gardening. The proposed method is very helpful in maintaining a garden using fewer pesticides but also can focus on providing the plant with sufficient water, nutrients, and light at all stages. All the simulations have been performed using LABVIEW software.
