CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION :
Humans require air, food, water, and shelter in order to survive. Humans are dependent
upon the optimization of land area and the preservation of biodiversity. An ever increasing value for food species is
implied, and it is estimated that food production will have to be doubled in order to compensate and provide
availability to all. The word “Hydroponic” defines as any means to grow plants via a medium that does not include
the use of soil but involves nutrients Solution or inorganic nutrients.
During traditional farming many problems are faced such as manual ploughing, weeding,
pest, climate etc. Soil based agriculture introduces some soil-based crop diseases. It also requires large use of land.
All these problems are resolved in hydroponics-based farming. Hydroponics framing grows crops speedily, healthier,
with less water, in a space saving capacity with no diseases, pests or weeds. It is similar to traditional agriculture
system therefore background needed to implement this system would remain same for most of the aspects i.e. to
maintain proper nutrient level, using proper irrigation techniques, taking care of the plant etc. Other knowledge
which are essential will be regarding for creating a proper as well as reliable network with fail-safe mechanism. As
the population of India is growing rapidly which is affecting food requirement and use of land. Traditional agriculture
system requires field and proper care of the plant. This forces farmers to invest their time and resources in order to
manage their farms. Farmers spend approximately 1/4th time of a day in water supply and in addition to this there are
other tasks that also need attention may that be ploughing, removing weeds, checking for deceases and many more
which requires physical efforts by the farmers. Technology such as IoT can help and reduces requirement for land as
well as it can also reduce human efforts.

1. The fundamentals of IoT for beginners will help us understand.
2. It’s going to help us appreciate the different possibilities that IoT already has to explore.
3.It should help us appreciate the need for growth and development in agriculture sector.
4.It’s going to allow us to understand IoT use in hydroponic farming and how agricultural pro- ductivity is changed.
1.5 MOTIVATION:
Crop production problems are common in India which severely effect rural farmers, agriculture
sector and the country’s economy as a whole. In Crops leaf plays an important role as it gives information about
the quantity and quality of agriculture yield in advance depending upon the condition of leaf. In this project we
proposed the system which works on preprocessing, feature extraction of leaf images from plant village dataset
followed by convolution neural network for classification of disease and recommending Pesticides using Tensor
flow technology .Agriculture is one field which has a high impact on life and economic status of human beings.
Improper management leads to loss in agricultural products. Farmers lack the knowledge of disease and hence
they produce less production. Kissan call centers are available but do not offer service 24*7 and sometimes
communication too fail. Farmers are unable to explain disease properly on call need to analysis the image of
affected area of disease. Though, images and videos of crops provide better view and agro scientists can provide a
better solution to resolve the issues related to healthy crop yet it not been informed to farmers. It is required to
note that if the productivity of the crop is not healthy, it has high risk of providing good and healthy nutrition.
Due to the improvement and development in technology where devices are smart enough to recognize and detect
plant diseases. Recognizing illness can prompt faster treatment in order to lessen the negative impacts on harvest.
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
Many researchers discovered that plants are able to absorb and consume essential minerals in plain
water, but researchers found that plants were able to absorb these ions directly from solutions of water rich in
these nutrients. They found that soil wasn’t even a necessary component of plant cultivation [ ].
Automation reduces the actual time it takes to maintain plant growth requirements. Plant grows in automated
system without soil, where mix of water and nutrient solution Supplies from storage tank to grow tray and
water will regularly re-circulated.
Soil is default source for nutrients supplements. Scientists found that plants able to absorb these nutrient
supplements directly from water nutrients solutions. They found that soil wasn 't even an essential for plant
growth. Normally soil work as the supplement store for the plant. The nutrient’s in the soil dissolve into the
water contained in the soil where the plants roots absorb them. When these same nutrients are provided
artificially into a plants water source, then soil is no longer need for plants growths [ ].
Research papers give basic idea to develop automated hydroponics System, Researchers Saiful Farhan M.
Samsuri, Robiah Ahmad, Mohamed Hussein, published their research paper. This research paper describes
automatic nutrient supply system on the basis of time using the timer , System provide control of fertilizer
with predefined electrical conductivity value [ ].
A literature survey in a task report speaks to the examination done to aid the culmination of an undertaking. A writing
study likewise portrays an overview of the past existing material on a subject of the report. Exploring the writing is a
basic part when composing scholarly papers that utilization look into discoveries for thoughts and focuses they attempt
to make. It is likewise a necessity for the venture report. Writing studies give brief reviews or a synopsis of the
momentum inquire about on points. The structure composed requires to be such that it appeared to be consistent. It
needs to sequentially speak to an advancement of the thoughts in the field that is being looked into. The length of a
writing overview depends much on whether the motivation behind the undertaking report is to finish a school task or
submitting for diary production.

METHODOLOGY
The farming pre-production subsystem incorporates every single different office, which give creation material
and administration for farming. The principle errands incorporate the production and maintenance of
homestead apparatuses and other rural offices; the creation of substance items, for example, manures what's
more, pesticides, the generation of rural development materials, and advantageous materials, and the creation
of farming transportation offices, the preparing of seeds and feed; the course, transportation, data and fund
administration.
Preproduction support involves helping farmers to make right decision of crops based on crop demand. The
data obtained from the survey Agencies are updated in the server on the cloud. The User or the farmer in this
case registers himself in the system using the Andriod Application on his phone. The users fetch the data
related to crop requirement as a whole which includes the number of acres registered by other farmers and the
demand status for various crops. He then chooses the crop that has high demand in the market and registers the
same on the server. Server updates the data and sends an acknowledgement to the user.

CHAPTER 6
IMPLIMENTATION
Nutrient film technique (NFT) (Fig. 13.2) involves growing plants by maintaining a coating of
nutrient solution around the roots, without the use of a substrate. When NFT first appeared, it seemed to be
an ideal growing system because it seemed to offer optimal control over the water- ing of the roots without
the expense of a substrate (Cooper, 1979; Graves, 1983). Optimization schemes were difficult to develop so
that today NFT is used only for a few specific crops. Techni- cally most crops could be grown in an NFT
system (examples amongst others: Hortiplan, 2005; Morgan, 1985; Lataster et al., 1993; Ito et al., 1994) but
widespread adoption has not occurred probably because such systems lack the ability to buffer even the
slightest interruption in water and nutrient supply and there is a considerable risk of spreading root-borne
diseases. The system consists of a trough on a slope of ; the roots of the plant lie inside the bottom of this
trough.
Nu- trient solution is continually applied at the elevated end so that the solution flows down through
the trough at exactly the rate required to keep the roots completely wet. At the bottom end of the
trough, the solution is allowed to drain. The nutrient solution layer should be as thin as possible, almost as a
film. The width of the trough varies according to the crop; troughs of 4–8 cm are sufficient for crops such
as lettuce (Lactuca sativa spp.) and chrysanthemums (Dendranthema grandiflora), while for tomato
(Lycopersicum esculentum) and sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum), a trough of 15 cm is needed. The length
of the trough varies from 1 to 20 m. Depending on the crop and the sizes of the troughs, various types of
materials have been used: polyethylene liner, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, and coated metal.
Ideal water flow rates have been iden- tified to be between 3 and 8 L/m2/h for crops such as
chrysanthemums and lettuce (Benoit and Ceustermans, 1989b; Ruijs et al., 1990a,b; Benoit and
Ceustermans, 1994). Fruiting vegetables benefit from a faster flow rate. The slowest flow rate that is
adequate to keep the roots coated with water may not be adequate in an NFT system; if the flow rate is too
low, the problem is not lack of water but lack of nutrients, especially for plants whose roots are downstream
in the trough and are exposed to water from which many other plants have already extracted some nutrients.
The last plants in the row get the least nutrients, especially potassium. Sometimes a distinction is made in
flow rates needed for a young crop (2 L/m2/h) versus a mature crop (5 L/m2/h).
In an NFT system, a very shallow stream (film) of water containing all nutrients required for plant
growth circulates between the growing channels (troughs) and the nutrient reservoir (Fig. 9.1). Plant roots
are contained in the growing channels and are in contact with the nutrient solution. The growing channels
have a slope between 1ensure uniformity and ease of handling. A properly designed NFT system should
ensure adequate supply of water, nutrients, and oxygen to the plant roots. If a channel is too long, the flow
of the nutrient solution may be affected, causing localized depressions, and resulting in inadequate oxygen
supply for the roots. The key is to provide a thin “film” of nutrient solution so that oxygen is dissolved into
the solution. As the roots grow, more are exposed to the air. An NFT system is primarily used for short-
term crops with small root systems such as lettuce, herbs, and other leafy greens. The growing channel of
an NFT system can be rectangular, square, or circular in shape and can be arranged in a vertical, horizontal,
or A-frame design, as long as light distribution across the whole system is uniform for all plants.
IMAGE ACQUISITION
Leaf is captured through high resolution camera. Image will be in the form of RGB(Red, Green, Blue)
form. Colour Conversion Structure for the RGB image is created. Colour Space Conversion for the colour
variation is applied to the image like HIS observation model. To improve the precision of the disease
detection and classification process, device dependent colour space is required. The procedure includes
obtaining pictures from any equipment sources or from any database. This is the initial phase in the process
of image processing. The obtained image is in RGB format.
IMAGE PREPROCESSING
Image pre-processing is to remove noise in the image. Different types of filters are used to remove noise.
Cropping of the leaf image is to get the interested image region. Image smoothening is done by using
smoothening filter. Image enhancement is applied for increasing the contrast. Apply device independent colour
space transformation, that converts the colour value in the image to colour space specified in the colour
transformation structure. RGB values will be altered as brightness and contrast. The main motive to use
image pre-processing is to improve the image data. It is used to supress unwanted distortions. Pixel
brightness transformation is used to improve the contrast of the image.
FEATURE EXTRACTION
Input image is enhanced to protect information of the protenious pixels before coloured from the
background. It is used to reduce effects of illumination and distinguish between diseased and non-diseased
leaf colour, resulting colour pixels are clustered to acquire group of colours in the image. Feature extraction is
based on specified threshold value, that is computed for corresponding pixel value. The intensity will be less
than the pre computed threshold value, when pixel value of RGB is set to zero. Feature extraction gives
more accurate disease classification and significant to reduce the processing.Contrast: The measure of
intensity is returned between the pixel and neighbour over the whole image.
CHAPTER 7
RESULT
We can see the results of communication between peripheral device and central device, the central device
sends request to the HTTP Server (i.e. Peripheral Device). The peripheral device recognizes the request and
starts communication. In the figure below we can observe that values are sent. we can see in Blynk app
interface. The Data of all the received values is used as a final result.
Conclusion
The modern method of plant growing technology is one of the alternative solutions in the agriculture area. One
of the most important advantages of hydroponics over soil growth is the absence weeds and pests in hydroponic
growth environments. Today’s technology IoT applications extensively used for smart agriculture using sensor
network for irrigation, prediction of disastrous events, smart farming, and precision agriculture. The data analysis
concerns the application of predictive algorithms and deep learning approaches in IoT data helps productive
solution for smart agriculture. This research implements the idea of leaf disease detection and monitoring in
the hydroponic type plant growth environment conditions. This work supports potential investor to review the
benefits of internet of things (IoT) by applying into agribusiness as a startup in this industry.
