Abstract

Automated greenhouse monitoring systems have become increasingly important in modern agriculture, as they enable farmers to maintain the necessary environment for proper plant growth without human intervention. This paper focuses on agriculture maintenance that requires minimal human intervention. Automated systems can monitor intelligently and maintain temperature, light intensity, and soil moisture levels, allowing for optimal plant growth. Although weather forecasts can help farmers plan for expected weather changes, unforeseeable weather fluctuations such as sudden downpours or intense sunlight can have a significant impact on crops. To prevent damage to crops, an automated system can maintain favorable growing conditions. For example, if there is an unexpected downpour or the temperature drops below optimal levels, the system can activate a heat lamp to maintain the necessary temperature for the crops. Similarly, if the soil moisture begins to decline due to high temperatures, the motor mechanism can activate a water pump to maintain adequate moisture levels. Overall, automated greenhouse monitoring systems can significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of agriculture by reducing the need for human intervention and maintaining optimal growing conditions for crops.
