Development of Web-Controlled Hydroponic Vegetable Growing System

Due to a high cost of living our daily life in pandemic time, most people have concerned to take more care of their life by starting on new programs of diet and exercise, which are the key factors to promote their healthiness. Having organic products, fruits, and vegetables has been popularly a new way of our life-style basis. Therefore, the hydroponic vegetable growing system has been designed and developed based on the consideration of integrating the relevant technologies to meet the need of people who want to have their own organic fresh vegetables by growing them in household with less spacious area. The simplicity of controlling and monitoring hydroponics is our proposed distinctive technique that save time in measuring the important parameters such as the pH value in watering, nutrient solution, humidity, and temperature. Adaptation of IoT has been utilized in this work. Monitoring via website can improve the efficiency of our proposed hydroponic system. The experiment was set up by growing three different kinds of salad veggies which are Red Oak, Green Oak and Finlay Iceberg. Based on the 7-week growing period, the estimate of our productivity of our vegetable growing system can be concluded for 60% collected from Red Oak, 80% and 60% from Green Oak and Finlay Iceberg. As the result of our experiment shown, our hydroponic system can support growing veggies with fairly high efficiency as compared to the traditional way of planting vegetables.
