Sistema de controle de processos para otimização de características fisiológicas de plantas de pequeno porte

Abstract

Due to the increase in the quality required in the cultivation of plants, whether for food, ornamentation or other purposes, this project focuses on the niche of Precision Cultivation, aiming at the quantitative improvement of the plant’s physiological attributes with fine control of the inputs given to it. Using control tools to measure physical variables such as temperature, pH and humidity, a greenhouse was developed to cultivate the plants in an intelligent way, providing the necessary inputs for the plant to develop more effectively. The programming for such device was developed on the Arduino open-source microcontroller platform and using C code to develop the system logic. The microcontroller uses peripheral sensors to identify the value of variables in real-time and activate actuators that will instantly regulate the internal environment of the greenhouse and the amount of inputs given to the plant during its development.
