Aeroponic controlling with IOT

Introduction
Aeroponics is a technique for cultivating plants in nutrient-rich mist
surroundings devoid of soil. Aeroponics differs from the hydroponic system as
the plant roots are not engrossed in fluid media, instead straight way absorb
nutrients from the aerosol. When compared to soil-cultivated plants, these
cultivation systems provide improved growth, yield, quality, and metabolite
production (Partap et al., 2020; Thakur et al., 2019). In aeroponics system, the
plants have 100% access to CO2 (450 ppm to 780 ppm) for photosynthesis and
also consume 70% less water than hydroponics. Vertical aeroponic system of
strawberry, muskbala, parsley, sweet basil at CSIR-IHBT, Palampur. Is the
practice of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of any
substrate. That is, the plant roots are suspended in the air and are misted or
sprayed periodically with a nutrient solution or aerosol of nutrient solution.
Water and nutrient use efficiency in an aeroponic system are higher than those
in NFT or DWC systems. The biggest advantage of aeroponics is that roots are
exposed to air, thus there is never an issue of insufficient oxygen.
 Advantages of aeroponic
 Due to the lack of a growing substrate, plant roots can absorb the
maximum amount of nutrients. This leads to greater plant yields.
Studies report that aeroponically grown plants like basil, parsley,
cherry tomato, squash, bell pepper and red kale increased their yield
by 19%, 21%, 35%, 50%, 53% and 65% compared to soil culture,
respectively
 Plant roots get oxygen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, resulting in
massive plant growth. This encourages plants to develop quickly.
 Because of the higher nutrient absorption rate, relatively fewer
nutrients and water are consumed on average compared to
conventional plants.
 Aeroponic systems offer greater mobility. You can simply transfer
plants or even entire nurseries around because all you have to do is
move the plant from one collar to the next.
 Only a small amount of room is necessary. This system does not
require a lot of areas to set up. Plants are stacked on top of one another.
 You can make the most of limited space with this type of modular
system.

Aeroponic problems and objectives

 Problems

1. Crops cannot grow in narrow spaces and abandoned places that

are not suitable for agriculture
2. Agricultural production by bad weather conditions or climate
changes that are not suitable for agriculture.
3. . Agricultural crop production by drought, floods and pests. Great
and enormous savings in water, energy, agricultural machinery
and labor
4. Diseases spread more widely in traditional agriculture
 Objectives

1. You can farm without soil.

2. Agricultural production is not affected by bad weather conditions
or climate changes that are not suitable for agriculture.
3. Agricultural crop production is not affected by drought, floods
and pests. Great and enormous savings in water, energy,
agricultural machinery and labor
4. Resulting from regular cultivation in contaminated soil and
water.
5. . It significantly reduces the use of fossil fuels as there is no need
for agricultural tractors, plows and harvesters.
6. Reduces water consumption by 70%.
