Fuzzy Mamdani Smart Control for Optimizing Melon Growth in Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) Hydroponic Greenhouse
Keywords:
Fuzzy Mamdani, Smart Greenhouse, NFT Hydroponics, Melon Growing, Control SystemsAbstract
The aim of the project is to create and apply an advanced control system using Fuzzy Mamdani to enhance the growth of melons in NFT hydroponic systems within intelligent greenhouses. The system is engineered to autonomously adjust temperature, humidity, pH and nutrient concentration through the utilization of sensors and actuators that are governed by microcontrollers. During a 30-day experiment, the Fuzzy Mamdani system demonstrated superior performance in comparison to the manual control system utilizing an on/off mechanism. The findings demonstrate that the Fuzzy Mamdani system effectively preserves the stability of environmental parameters, resulting in reduced fluctuations. This, in turn, has a beneficial influence on the growth and quality of melons. The temperature and humidity are maintained within the appropriate range, while the utilization of resources like as water and energy becomes increasingly efficient. Furthermore, the implementation of this approach results in melons exhibiting enhanced development uniformity and superior fruit quality. The research findings indicate that the implementation of Fuzzy Mamdani-based control systems has the potential to enhance agricultural output and quality, while also promoting the adoption of more sustainable agricultural methods.
