Development of Automated Nutrient Composition Control for Fertigation System Using IoT Application

This project introduces solution for automated nutrient mixing fertigation system control, leveraging the capabilities of IOT technology. The central components of this system comprise three separate buckets—one for each fertilizer (A and B) and one for water. These buckets are utilized to create the nutrient mixture, which is then transported to the plants via a motor-driven distribution system. A soil moisture sensor plays a pivotal role in detecting the moisture levels in the soil, and when necessary, it triggers the release of water from the dedicated water bucket to nourish the plants. Additionally, a DHT11 sensor continuously measures the ambient temperature to ensure optimal growing conditions.

Solar panel, coupled with a rechargeable battery and a 5V power supply. This energy-efficient setup ensures the system's seamless operation while minimizing environmental impact. The collected data, including moisture levels and temperature, is wirelessly transmitted to a Node MCU ESP8266 module, which seamlessly integrates with the Blynk application, forming a robust Internet of Things (IOT) ecosystem. This IOT integration empowers users to remotely monitor and adjust the nutrient composition and irrigation process, ensuring that plants receive the ideal combination of nutrients and moisture for optimal growth and health.
