PLC (ARDUINO) BASED SELF-SUSTAINING HYDROPONIC FODDER SYSTEM

Abstract

In India only 4.9 % of cropped land area is utilized for cultivating fodder. India faces a deficit of 35.6% green fodder, 26% of dry fodder and 41% of concentrate feed ingredients.So our goal in this project is to develop a self-sustaining fodder system using basic PLC circuits and to operate it on renewable energy. Which in result will reduce the energy requirement, cost of production per kg, water and land requirements to operate the system along with the readyavailability of green fodder and negligible human interference
