Abstract
Agriculture is an essential part of the Pakistani economy, and it is embedded into the country’s antiquated financial framework. Intelligent systems can be developed through the usage of IoT-based technology. In hydroponics farming, precision is a challenge, particularly for some sensitive plants like bok choy and lettuce. These plants need a certain amount of fertilizer and water each time in order to grow as well as possible. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables routine monitoring of every element of a person's life. A remedy might be to periodically evaluate the plants' nutrient and water requirements. In this study, monitoring and control systems for hydroponic precision agriculture are developed using IoT and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is utilized to control how much food and water the plants receive, and IoT is used to make it feasible to periodically assess the nutritional and water needs of plants.
