Development Of Automatic Monitoring System For Tomaoes Plant

Abstract

Tomatoes, or Solanum Lycopersicum, are a very high demand plant in Malaysia or international. Tomato is a native of South America and began to spread to the world by Spaniards. It has about 7000 different species of tomato cultivars worldwide. The typical colour of tomato is usually red but it can be found in black, yellow, orange, and purple colour. Automatic Monitoring System for Tomatoes Plant will be produce to help farmers to monitor and ensure that all the parameters required by tomato plant are met. This project have several types of sensor use to monitor all the parameter needed. The sensor contain in this project are soil moisture sensor, temperature and humidity sensor and UV rays sensor. All of this sensor will help the farmers to monitoring the tomato plant automatically and will reduce use of human energy. The growth of the tomato plant can be maintain by monitoring the water needed by the plant, the humidity surrounding of the plant and level of UV rays exposed to the plant. Based on the previous project they only focus on monitoring the soil moisture and humidity of the plant. That project can maintain the soil moisture level and temperature surrounding the plant. The soil moisture level and humidity are too general and not particular to any of the plants in the project. Tomato plant growth rate can be increase by maintain the specific measurement of the water needed and the humidity surrounding the plant.
