Abstract

In present days soil possess lack of fertility that reduces the plant yield and its health by the frequent addition of chemical pesticides and lack of water. Hydroponics is the technique of growing any plant without implanting it in the soil. Hydroponics is used to save water and also to nourish the soil. This paper presents Automated Hydroponics systems that automatically deliver (drip irrigation) water in regular intervals from rain water harvesting tank. Organic nutrient solution is also conveyed to the plants in separate pipe. This System uses fewer amounts of water and fertilizers as compared to conventional system. An android app is used for monitoring plants via Internet. PIR sensors are used to detect intrusion of human beings/animals. The hydroponic field could be implemented at rooftop or balcony also.
