Enhancing Cotton Cultivation in India with Automated Hydroponics: A Climate-Adaptive Approach
Dr. Vibhu Sharma
Abstract: Cotton, a pivotal fiber crop in India, is integral to the nation's economy and textile industry. Traditional cultivation practices face challenges from land degradation, water scarcity, and unpredictable climate conditions. This research introduces an innovative automated hydroponic system designed specifically for optimal cotton growth in Indian climates. Employing a network of sensors, actuators, and control algorithms, the system monitors and regulates crucial parameters, including nutrient solution levels, pH, temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Real-time data acquisition enables precise control, ensuring tailored conditions for cotton growth. The automation system integrates weather API data to proactively adapt to changing weather patterns, mitigating adverse conditions and enhancing cotton yield and quality. The study introduces an innovative automated hydroponic system tailored for cotton cultivation in India. It addresses the challenges of land degradation, water scarcity, and climate variability. The system utilizes sensors, actuators, and control algorithms to monitor and regulate key growth parameters, integrating weather data for proactive adaptation. Experimental results show a significant increase in yield and quality, highlighting its potential for revolutionizing Indian cotton cultivation.
