Abstract


The plant monitoring system aims to develop an automated solution for optimizing plant growth. Using the Arduino Uno ATMEGA328P microcontroller module and various sensors, this system regulates environmental conditions to promote optimal plant development. It requires adequate software to operate effectively, enabling the microcontroller to monitor and regulate climatic conditions. The primary goal of this paper is to present a comprehensive system that continuously measures parameters such as light intensity, air humidity, and soil moisture in real time within a vegetable greenhouse or a plastic-covered plant environment. This scientific paper provides an in-depth description of the hardware components used, their electronic connections, and the implementation of program code written in C++. Based on the measured physical parameters, the plant monitoring system performs specific actions, such as watering the plants and regulating the ambient temperature. In conclusion, this system effectively supports healthy plant growth and enhances the quality and yield of plant products. The paper serves as a practical example for improving plant cultivation in the agricultural sector in the Republic of Kosova.
