Abstract
In recent years, one of the arising problems is a shortage of agricultural land due to various reasons, from agricultural lands being sold to poor soil minerals, if this keeps on going, we won’t be having enough food and will go starving. To solve this issue, we can’t convert the sold agricultural lands in which buildings are being built. To compensate for our growing population and shortage of land, we could use Soilless Cultivation using IOT which can be also referred to by the term “Hydroponics” along with IoT. Growing crops using only Hydroponics requires maintaining a pH level of 6.5 (Slightly acidic) on average, and a temperature of 27° C which is an ambient condition for the growth of the plant. But monitoring them often is a tedious process that can be eliminated by our solution. We use sensors to get the pH level of the water constantly, on unsuitable pH levels, it makes a restful HTTP request to the given endpoint which in turn triggers the cloud messaging functionality and sends a push notification to the android client, and an immediate response can be done to avoid. The temperature of the water and atmosphere is monitored too, when they are too higher or lower than the prescribed level, it will trigger an endpoint call that sends the cloud message from the cloud server and alerts the in-charge about the change. Ordinary hydroponics which just sends readings to remote servers does not implement displaying their data in the android app. Keywords: Soilless cultivation, agriculture.
