Abstract

This project is for growing plants or vegetables inside the packed electronic environment by using the artificial plant grow Led to growing the plants. The photosynthesis process carried out by the plants independent on the LEDs which will provide the total electronic surrounding to the crops so we can call it as an “Artificial farming- an electronic approach to grow plants”. In this project, we have made a prototype of actual concept. The amount of water required to grow the plants is very much less as compared to the traditional farming, here we have provided the automation technique for providing water to the plants. In this prototype, we have made a rack structure so that we can take the more crop production by making racks on one above in a small area. In this artificial environment, we are using sensors to monitor the condition of the soil, air, temperature. According to collected data by the sensors, this data is provided to aurdino for the controlling the water supply, lights, fans. The LEDs are used to provide the special light wavelength. By using that wavelength the plants are going to carry out the photosynthesis process. In this process, the food making process of plants is light dependent. As the environment is indoor it will not have any insects, and pests affecting the crops, hence no insecticides and pesticides will be required. The indoor environment will neither evaporate water nor will percolate it into the earth hence water requirements be very small. The indoor environment is equipped with artificial lighting, so crops can be grown independent of season. By using the electronic farming method we can reduce the greenhouse gases, the overall quality of the food is increased due to the organic fertilizers being used to grow the plant and also the pesticides and the chemical fertilizers are not used in this type of farming. The water required for the electronic farming is much lesser than the ordinary traditional farming. As it is completely indoor so that the atmospheric effect is not observed on the plant so we can take year-round food production.
