Evaluating Water Savings in Vertical and Horizontal Hydroponic Systems Using Nutrient Film Technique
Abstract: A study conducted at SVCAET, IGKV, Raipur, focuses on water conservation in hydroponics using the nutrient film technique (NFT). The research evaluated both vertical and horizontal hydroponic systems. Initially, plants were grown in a nursery before being transplanted into either the vertical or horizontal system. In these systems, nutrient-rich water was continuously circulated over the plant roots. The study assessed water usage and the remaining water in the system on …

Hydroponic Farming Monitoring System - Automated System to Monitor and Control Nutrient and pH Levels
Abstract: With growing urbanization and limited agricultural land, sustainable agriculture is becoming a necessity. This project introduces a smart, space-saving, and automated hydroponic farming system based on IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The proposed system employs an ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller with sensors like a pH sensor and an ultrasonic sensor to track critical plant growth parameters like nutrient solution pH and water level. A relay module controls a water pump for …
