Abstract

This study aims to implement an automation system in an aeroponic environment to improve efficiency in food cultivation. The approach is based on the use of an ESP32 microcontroller to precisely control the supply of water, nutrients and environmental conditions. Plant roots are suspended in the air and nutrients are periodically applied by spraying. The automated system monitors and controls water level, pH and electrical conductivity, ensuring optimal growing conditions without the need for constant supervision. The results show that this automation is effective in optimizing plant growth, notably increasing productivity and efficiency compared to traditional methods. In summary, this study presents an advanced and efficient solution for agriculture, taking advantage of technology. The automation system in the aeroponic environment, managed by the ESP32 microcontroller, represents an effective alternative to conventional agriculture, allowing for more efficient and productive cultivation by guaranteeing ideal growing conditions. This paves the way for the future of technologically advanced agriculture.
