Abstract
Introduction−Aeroponics allows the possibility to grow plants in places where conventional open-field agriculture is difficult. The use of technology improves the efficiency of the process although some energy control and irrigation system solutions must be improved.Objective−Implement an autonomous power supply and an irrigation control system for pesticide-free food pro-duction.Methodology−The autonomous system was designed using MATLAB-Simulink-MPLAB tool to perform the control model and to be applied to the crop. A dsPIC was programmed for the irrigation cycle control algorithms using MATLAB-Simulink blocks.Results−The results show that the irrigation cycle and power supply of the aeroponic system help maintain uni-formity of plant growth during the tests period, which allows a better development of the aeroponic crop.Conclusions−Cultivation by aeroponics reduces the use of pesticides, growing space, water consumption, and nu-trients consumption. Automation in irrigation and power supply systems allows good growth in coriander, which can be evidenced by increases in the weight and volume of the test plants.
