Agrosense: IOT-Based Smart Vegetable Gardening System|Chapter 6 | Intelligent IoT Systems: From Research to Real-World Solutions

 

Greenhouse farming needs precise monitoring to guarantee healthy plant growth, while conventional methods are cumbersome, inexact, and not amenable to steady-state operation. This study outlines an Internet of Things (IoT)-based vegetable garden monitoring system that automatically controls irrigation, climate, and plant disease in a greenhouse. The system incorporates an LDR light sensor, ESP32-CAM, soil moisture sensor, and DHT11 temperature-humidity sensor controlled by an ESP8266. A motor pump is activated when the soil moisture is less than the threshold value; temperature and humidity are controlled by a fan, while light is provided through an LED when light intensity is low. At specified time epochs, the ESP32-CAM shoots plant pictures that are analysed through a Python-based deep learning algorithm to determine five plant health classes: yellow leaves, curled leaves, leaf spot, white fly infestation, and healthy. A web page presents sensor readout in real time as well as disease classification outcome. Experimental validation indicates classification accuracy of 94.6 %, ±2°C accuracy in temperature regulation, ±5% in humidity control, and 92% accuracy in irrigation. Against previous works that employed IoT to automate greenhouse farming, this solution is not only superior in control accuracy but also incorporates automatic disease diagnosis. Despite limitations due to internet reliability as well as dataset size, the solution provides insights into how IoT, as well as AI, can minimize manual intervention, facilitate early detection, as well as, promote sustainable farming.
