| Objective on the basis of need |
|
| Executive summary of the proposed project (In 250 words) | To design and develop an advanced IoT-based hydroponic growing system that integrates cutting-edge AI/ML technologies and advanced control algorithms. The system will incorporate multi-sensor integration to monitor key parameters such as water quality, nutritional levels, temperature, humidity, light, CO2 levels, and NPK ratios. It will feature image capture for crop disease detection, LED lighting for precise growth control, and a user-friendly mobile application to facilitate real-time monitoring, control, disease management, and nutrition optimization. Additionally, the system aims to provide tailored recommendations and advisory services to farmers, ensuring ease of deployment, maintenance, and operation while optimizing crop growth conditions. |
