Climatic change is a major challenge for the farmers. More than 95% of farmers follow traditional farming techniques. If a farmer wants to earn more profit from agriculture, then he has to adopt modern farming techniques such as Greenhouse farming (polyhouse farming) or hydroponic farming.

A Greenhouse is a framed structure covered with a transparent or green shaded net material and large enough space inside to grow crops under partial or fully controlled environmental conditions with few sensors to get optimum growth and productivity. Greenhouse farming requires proper environmental conditions for optimal plant growth and health. Most critical to productivity, quality, and energy conservation is the monitoring and control of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in combination with temperature, humidity, and many other parameters.

The use of the greenhouse is very fruitful for the production of seasonal and non- seasonal crops, for the production of high-quality flowers, vegetables, and the preparation of nursery. Scientech 6205GH IoT enabled system for Greenhouse is a comprehensive setup providing the understanding of sensors used in greenhouse farming.

Scientech 6205GH consists of carbon dioxide(CO2), oxygen (O2), volatile organic compound (VOC), air temperature & humidity, atmospheric pressure, soil moisture, soil temperature, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), leaf wetness and solar radiation sensors.
