Abstract

Abstract: HYDROPONICS derives its name from the Greek HYDRO-PONOS meaning water/labor. Literally, "Hydroponics" means "Water Work." Due to increase in urbanization and industrialization, Agriculture land is decreasing rapidly. Due to rising problem of draught, shortage of water has greatly affected Agriculture. Hydroponic method is instrumental in growing a plant with minimum and recyclable water. Hydroponics is a technique of growing a plant in water with nutrient solution mixed with it in soil less technique with continuous supply of oxygen at room temperature with indirect light. System uses less water and fertilizer as compared to soil system. Hydroponics has no part in the human work. The growth rate and quality of plant are enhance as roots gets nutrients and oxygen directly from water medium. The measured and monitored parameters are pH, humidity, electrical conductivity of water and concentration of nutrients in water and these are useful for maintain the optimum plant growth with the help of automated hydroponic plant.Keywords: Water Work, Agriculture Land, Water Nutrient, PLC.
