Rapid industrialization and urbanization has led to decrease in agricultural land and productivity worldwide. This is combined with increasing demand of chemical free organic vegetables by the educated urban households, and thus, greenhouses are quickly catching trend for their specialized advantages especially in extreme weather countries. They provide an ideal environment for longer and efficient growing seasons and ensure profitable harvests. The present paper designs and demonstrates a comprehensive IoT based Smart Greenhouse system that implements a novel combination of monitoring, alerting, cloud storage, automation and disease prediction, viz. a readily deployable complete package. It continuously keeps track of ambient conditions like temperature, humidity and soil moisture conditions to ensure a higher yield of crop and immediate redressal in case of abnormal conditions. It also has a built-in automatic irrigation management system. Finally, it employs the most efficient deep learning model for disease identification with leaf images. Furthermore, with memory and storage optimization through cloud storage, an individual living in the city can also build a greenhouse and can monitor it from his home and take redressal methods as and when desired.
