ABSTRACT
Appropriate environmental conditions are necessary for optimum plant
growth inside the greenhouse. Improved crop yields are related to controllable
environments, including efficient use of water and other resources. Hence there is a
need for automating the data acquisition process of the soil moisture, temperature
conditions and various climatic parameters that govern plant growth. A new
environmental monitoring and control system is developed which employs
Microcontroller Arduino ATmega2560. The system uses a PID controller with Pulse
width modulation (PWM) used together with LM35 temperature sensor and an
LM393 comparator chip of the soil moisture module. An LCD unit is used to display
the various soil moisture levels for the monitoring operation. The outcome is a
stabilized system with minimum error in both temperature and soil moisture modules
and has been proven all curves in one chart that‘s displaying the rate of variation
between soil moisture contents level and temperature degree against the time in real
time data. According to this results, the system is done correctly.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The term ‗Green Revolution‘ was adopted by the agricultural industry to
describe developments in agricultural technologies occurring in countries around the
world. To achieve a Green Revolution, all farmers should adapt using modern
technologies, such as intensive soil irrigation, high-yield seeds, chemicals, and
mechanization (Shaker and Imran 2013) In other words, modern agriculture is a
process of urban development to a certain degree.
It is a sustainable development of modern natural-human complex agro-
ecosystems that is based on the large modern city resources, and it is a multi-
functional integrated containing production, life and ecology. Agriculture facility is
defined by changing internal environmental elements such as planting, breeding, and
other agriculture areas of production. The main goal of this facility is to create
suitable conditions and raise the quality of productions (Guangyong et al. 2011).
It is worth mentioning that greenhouse farming is one of the important
aspects of agriculture, because it is easier to control, thus ensuring increased
efficiency of production are efficient (Bansal and Reddy 2013).The benefits of
greenhouses are as follows: increased light input, increased temperature throughout
the winter season and decreased temperature throughout the summer season
Page 18
2
(better regulation of temperature) (Fabrizio 2012). Another advantage that
greenhouses offer is their use for increasing crop yield, reducing main power, and
minimizing high costs by using different technologies, which depends on embedded
functions such as monitoring and controlling systems.
Despite the challenges faced by researchers in the field of monitoring and
controlling the environment by external devices, advances have enabled the
manufacturing of various sensors and electronics that implement different operations
simultaneously. This allows for the monitoring of conditions inside the greenhouse,
providing a good environment, and producing optimal product yield.Specifically, this
project will apply some important sensors used to monitor the status of plants,
including parameters such as temperature, moist soil, and light intensity. Therefore,
some researchers stressed the need to introduce a methodology for the development
and use of microcontroller based process monitoring and controlling system
(Prickett, Frankowiak and Grosvenor 2012).
Moreover,(Hou et al. 2012) confirmed the use of a sensitive temperature and
relative humidity sensors such as SHT11 in the monitoring and control of external
devices in order to determine the relationship between them and other research.
(Rangan and Vigneswaran 2010) described an embedded system approach to
monitoring a greenhouse, based on measuring parameters such as temperature,
humidity, soil dampness, water pH, light intensity, surveyed by sensors that are
positioned in different locations, the data for which were measured, controlled,
processed and updated to the owner through SMS using GPS modem.
1.2 Background
This project presents the design of microcontroller ATMEGA2560 based on
the electronic circuit that monitors and controls parameters such as temperature, soil
moisture, and light of the natural environment. These are based on the proportional
Page 19
3
integral derivation (PID) controller, with pulse width modulation (PWM), in order
optimize them to achieve maximum plant growth.
This chip communicates with the various sensor modules to ensure the
efficiency of a ventilation and irrigation process inside a greenhouse that depends on
criteria and commands are sent from the processor through the set of bus I/O to
actuating a cooler, valve, and pump water respectively. An integrated Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) Keypad module is also used to display the status results of data
acquired from the various sensors. The design is quite flexible as software and can be
developed in any time.
1.3 Problem statement
1) Obviously Transpiration on the leaf surface is ineffectual, the root and stem.
Thus the system may not be able to supply adequate water to the leaves. The
cooling system is therefore required to reduce these stresses.
2) Greenhouse shading; the amount of solar radiation and light intensity
reaching the plants is restricted creating a closed difference between air
temperature inside and outside the greenhouse. Shading also reduces leaf
surface temperature significantly.
Therefore, it should be noted that in a naturally ventilated greenhouse in a
tropical environment, inside air temperature is always greater than the outside, which
can become a major problem during the summer season, when the maximum cooling
is required.
Page 20

1.4 Objective
The main objective is to build a general system to obtain data from an
external device and then manipulate it to achieve a certain output. The data obtained
during the processing must be displayed on LCD. This is done in order to achieve
better quality environments for agricultural work inside the greenhouse with the help
of a microcontroller Chip Kit ATMEGA2560. This project will execute the
following steps:
1) Monitor the status of the plants in terms of the availability of the appropriate
environments.
2) Irrigation of the soil according to their need. This is achieved through the use
of special sensors and components necessary to avoid a decomposition soil
based on the PID algorithm with PWM technique.
3) Measure the amount of light in order to control moving actuator by using
special photosensitive.
4) Improve ventilation and soil moisture control which is crucial for tropical
greenhouses to improve plant growth, nutrient and water uptake, and for
disease reduction.
1.5 Scopes
This study will design an integrated system consisting of different sensors to
sense the environment. This is done through the use of a microcontroller that reads
analogue signals and sends the processed signal to the output through a buss. We
explain more about the study through the following steps:
1) Design a PID based controller temperature sensor module using the PWM
technique to achieve the desired set point for fan speed automatically, and to
produce good condition plants, a temperature sensor reading in Celsius and
Page 21
5
Fahrenheit. These results can then be plotted on a chart to improve the
stability of the system.
2) Design a simple ON/OFF control for the light sensor in order to actuate
opening of the windows on top of the greenhouse, because solar radiation
provides the main energy input to plants, with much of this energy begin
convert to heat whereas will effect on plant inside greenhouse(Jones 2013).
3) Design module regard soil moisture sensor also based PID controller with
PWM technique to get desired set point automatically for valve water to
reduce the consuming the water with minimum error and more stability for
system. because the plant physiological responses to drought is from
important ways during irrigation scheduling according to (Jones 2004).
4) Finally, an LCD will display status of PID controller, data including
temperature module and soil moisture level module.
1.6 Summary
This is an introductory chapter that addressed the main problems related to
providing a suitable environment for agriculture, according the problems statement
of this project that is; the difficulty in creating a good ventilation system using PID
controller and PWM techniques to remove all stress on the leaf surface with a design
system of low cost. An embedded system will have been built to reduce the error in
output, in order to get proper results for both temperature and soil moisture modules
in agricultural work.
