CONTRIBUTIONS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT
OF AN AUTOMATED HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION SYSTEM
IN CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract: The paper presents the design and implementation of
a fully automated vertical hydroponic system for seedling production in
controlled environments. By integrating an Arduino UNO board with pH,
TDS, temperature, light, and water-level sensors, the system enables
automatic monitoring and regulation of key growth parameters. Its
physical structure includes vertical PVC columns and a recirculation
circuit optimized for efficient use of resources. Experimental results
confirm the system’s stability, reliability, and scalability. The study
highlights the relevance of automation and embedded technologies in
modern agriculture and their potential to sustain productive, low-cost
hydroponic installations.

Abstract: The paper explores the potential of automation in seedling
cultivation with a focus on hydroponic systems. The advantages of hydroponic
cultivation in controlled spaces are presented, such as rapid plant growth, precise
environmental control and resource efficiency. The paper also details the process
of developing a customized automation system, including the choice of sensors
and its implementation in a greenhouse. In conclusion, the study highlights the
economic and environmental benefits of automation in agriculture, as well as the
potential to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural production.
