IOT BASED ORGANIC FARMING BY USING AQUAPONICS METHOD

ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

As the population grows, the food production in India increases results in the use of high synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. In our project “IoT based organic farming by using aquaponics method” we proposed a solution of organic farming to reduce the use of pesticides. The main goal is to create plant growth by combining hydroponics with aquaculture. Aquaponics – Aquaculture and traditional hydroponics are combined in order to create an innovative and sustainable system to promote the growth of terrestrial plants as well as aquatic life. The correct implementation of aquaponics helps in providing organic foods with low consumption of water and pesticides. For better management we integrate IOT and smart sensing systems for monitoring and controlling the operations and also it helps to mitigate production times, reduce the need for labor to manage systems and improves product quality. The Node MCU used to connect over the internet to monitor the aquaponic environment. The DTH11 Module is used to measure the temperature and humidity and the water level is measured using ultrasonic water level sensors. The blynk app where we can see the conditions to monitor and control the operations of the plant bed.
