Dew Aeroponics: Dew-Enabled Smart Aeroponics System in Agriculture 4.0
摘要
Traditional agriculture is the most expensive method of cultivation as it requires a lot of resources like fertilized soil, water, human labour, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. For nearly a decade, research has been carried out on Dew Intelligent-enabled precision farming to benefit farmers with higher yields and lower costs. Hydroponic strategies, such as aeroponics, have several advantages over traditional agriculture and are aimed at improving agricultural efficiency and reducing environmental impact, enhancing productivity, and abating loss to the environment due to traditional cultivation. This paper proposed an idea of a hybrid Internet of Agriculture Things with the automatic and manual mode of control using 5G Narrow Band Internet of Drone Things (5GNB-IoDT) and Light Fidelity (Li-Fi), based on several parameters, such as the temperature, humidity, pH of nutrient solution, and spraying nutrients to the roots of the crops in a more energy-efficient way using Anti-siphon system.
