Abstract :
The advent of green house technology has become most important and most widely used part in daily life because greenhouse environment protects plants from undesirable environmental conditions and provides well desired conditions for growing under controlled atmosphere. The main aim of this paper is to propose effective method for crop monitoring in agricultural which shows the path to rural farming community to replace traditional crop cultivation techniques. The green houses are precisely used for improvement in productivity, quality, quantity and profitability of vegetable, flower and fruit crops. In this paper, green house approach has been presented supporting GSM wireless technology. The proposed green house system provides impact on varieties of crop species mostly flowers, vegetable crops and fruit crops. The presented system effectively monitors and controls the green house parameters of crucial importance like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity and CO2 gas. The system had been tested in green house environment and observations had been recorded for crop analysis purpose. The crop analysis helps farmers for monthly future prediction to know the expenditure for growing crop. This makes effective solution for farmers to grow highly efficient and disease free crop species for commercial production.
