Abstract
This article presents the potential of Internet-of-Things (IoT) in the area of greenhouse farming and leading to the smart agriculture. The different parameters, such as humidity, water nutrients solution level, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) value, temperature, UV light intensity, CO2 level, mist, and amount of insecticides or pesticides, are monitored through various sensors so that significant knowledge can be captured and early fault detection and diagnosis can be done. A decision support system (DSS) acts as the central operating system that governs and coordinates all the activities. Furthermore, this work also accounts for the different challenges of greenhouse rose farming and highlights a new IoT-based solution, which is smart and sustainable. The model presented in this work is well adapted to the changing environment, thereby redefining the terms of sustainability.
