Abstract

Many Indian people are dependent on farming and agriculture for their daily income. There is a compelling need to investigate effective ways of cultivating crops with the aid of cutting-edge technology because natural resources are running out. This study suggests an automated lysimeter system that monitors a plant's daily water needs and regulates the irrigation pump's operation based on environmental data. In addition to this, an artificial lighting system is proposed consisting of a mixture of different light colours in different proportions. The advantages of growing a plant under this proposed artificial lighting system and in natural sunlight were examined in this study. A plant height measurement was used to track plant growth, and a comparison with a plant growing under normal conditions and in artificial lighting was made.
