Subtle color changes can be an early indication of stress from less than optimum nutrient concentrations. These low cost color sensors can be incorporated into a continuous automated system for monitoring leaf color of growing plants. Leaf color sensors provide information, in a non-destructive manner, on the health status of tissue by comparing the sensor outputs to predetermined optimum values. Sensors include a compact color zoom camera, RGB (red, green and blue) color sensors.
Using a custom builthand device, sensors located on a pan and tilt system at the end of the device monitor plant growth and the ambient growing environment. KEYWORDS: Microcontroller, Irrigation, Arduino, Sensor, Soil Moisture, ATMega328Īn automated system for measuring plant leaf color, as an indicator of plant health status, has been developed for plantlets growing in a modified micro propagation system. We hope that through this prototype people will enjoy having plants without the challenges related to absent or forgetfulness. The system automation is designed to be assistive to the user. The pro-To type reports status of its current conditions and also reminds the user to refill the water tank. To accommodate this challenge we have developed a prototype, which makes a plant more self-sufficient, watering itself from a large water tank and providing itself with artificial sunlight. However for most people it becomes challenging to keep them healthy and alive. People enjoy plants, their benefits and the feeling related to nurturing them. So, the microcontroller has to be coded to water the plants in the garden or farms about two times per day.
Normally, the plants need to be watered twice daily, morning and evening. This type of system is often used for general plant care, as part of caring for small and large gardens. It is programmed in such a way that it will sense the moisture level of the plants and supply the water when required. This project uses ATmega328 Microcontroller. This system uses watering sprinkler system because it can water the plants located in the pots.
There have a various type using automatic watering system that are by using sprinkler system, tube, nozzles and other. To make the gardener works easily, the automatic plant watering system is created. Knowing when and how much to water is two important aspects of watering process. Watering systems ease the burden of getting water to plants when they need it. ABSTRACT Watering the plant is the most important cultural practice and one of the labor intensive tasks in daily greenhouse operation.
