It acts as a solvent where nutrients and minerals are broken down for easy absorption by the roots the plant. It provides turgidity which gives the plant true stability and positioning. It further controls |
As soil moisture availability declines, the functionality and growth of plants is disrupted resulting in lower crop yields. As the climate changes, moisture availability is becoming more variable. As a result the automatic plant watering system project takes into account the measurement of soil moisture of house plants by a capacitive soil moisture sensor. If the soil moisture values obtained by the sensor are below a certain value the sensor will automatically turn on the water pump which is responsible for delivering the water requirements of the plant until the optimum moisture content is achieved by the soil. | As soil moisture availability declines, the functionality and growth of plants is disrupted resulting in lower crop yields.
