Abstract EN
In recent years, intelligent sensor techniques have achieved significant attention in agriculture.
It is applied in agriculture to plan the several activities and missions properly by utilising limited resources with minor human interference.
Currently, plant cultivation using new agriculture methods is very popular among the growers.
However, the aeroponics is one of the methods of modern agriculture, which is commonly practiced around the world.
In the system, plant cultivates under complete control conditions in the growth chamber by providing a small mist of the nutrient solution in replacement of the soil.
The nutrient mist is ejected through atomization nozzles on a periodical basis.
During the plant cultivation, several steps including temperature, humidity, light intensity, water nutrient solution level, pH and EC value, CO2 concentration, atomization time, and atomization interval time require proper attention for flourishing plant growth.
Therefore, the object of this review study was to provide significant knowledge about early fault detection and diagnosis in aeroponics using intelligent techniques (wireless sensors).
So, the farmer could monitor several paraments without using laboratory instruments, and the farmer could control the entire system remotely.
Moreover, the technique also provides a wide range of information which could be essential for plant researchers and provides a greater understanding of how the key parameters of aeroponics correlate with plant growth in the system.
It offers full control of the system, not by constant manual attention from the operator but to a large extent by wireless sensors.
Furthermore, the adoption of the intelligent techniques in the aeroponic system could reduce the concept of the usefulness of the system due to complicated manually monitoring and controlling process.
