Bengaluru students develop farm monitoring technology

A student team from a private varsity has developed ‘Hydroponics Monitor’, an Internet Of Things (IoT)-based system to monitor plant and nutrient supplements.

Hydroponics is a farming technique wherein plants are grown in water and nutrients without the help of soil. This method of farming will get more yield than soil-based agriculture and reduces the use of pesticides.

The student team from the Atria University in Hebbal that developed the technology on its campus said the Hydroponics Monitor can be deployed easily either at home or at one’s workplace.

The group consists of five students from the fourth-year computer science and electronics and communication engineering courses.
