Fabrication of indoor vertical farming for urban area

Previously, indoor vertical cultivation was made from source using complex system methods called hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics. The project system is different when compared to fertigation and traditional cultivation. The use of large spaces and the frequent use of pesticides in previous systems are major problems in agriculture today. So, this vertical farming system can avoid such things. The objective of this project is to design and fabricate indoor vertical farming in small scale, an electronic circuit to control automation watering, less energy usage and measure the root growth rate plants comparison with traditional farming. However, Controlled Environmental Agricultural Technology (CEA) is used in vertical farming to control temperature, light, humidity and water for crops. By using sensors, this method will grow automatically and is good for crops. But in this indoor vertical farming, the control that has been applied is watering the plants at the set time, lighting for indoor farming and sensors to know the water level in the water container. The data collection and results obtained from this project are shown by the graph that the use of this indoor vertical farming is better than traditional farming, which has been compared by measuring the root growth response on seedlings in vertical indoor farming with traditional farming. Finally, the project can meet the needs of consumers to start growing vegetables, fruits or food indoors.
