Smart Greenhouse and Smart Agriculture

Abstract

In addition to the problem of growing high quality agricultural products combined with the effects of rapid increase of population around the world, climate changes and global warming, the search for producing higher quality products lower costs brought the necessity of using the opportunities of technology to overcome the problems in the agricultural sector. Studies on this subject have shown that Smart Greenhouse systems play an important role in solving these problems. In this study, an Arduino controlled Smart Greenhouse setup was prepared. In this research, in addition to the greenhouse control is not only autonomous, but also remote control of the smart greenhouse with mobile devices was provided by using bluetooth technology in case of need. The data in the Smart Greenhouse environment are read by sensors and controlled by the software, developed by researchers and the interventions such as heating, cooling, irrigation are either performed automatically or manually with the help of the Android application developed when required. In our research, Smart Greenhouse and plants with equivalent characteristics were selected and their development was examined. As a result it has been seen with the data we obtained through the research that, our system with the prototype, can be applied to large-scale greenhouses.
