“…For the artificial light environment, the composition of red and blue light is used where it is proven that red and blue light bring significant plant growth as also highlighted by other researchers [3][4][5][7][8]. In order to verify the colours, Matlab was used to carry out colour segmentation to the created artificial light environment.…”

The aim of this work is to create an artificial environment LED based for plants where the goal is to control LED lighting and monitor plant growth. This will contribute on issue like food production. This work involves the use of a web development microcontroller kit, which will help to make online or IoT (Internet of Things) project and design easy. The microcontroller will come with an integrated Wi-Fi to collect and control variable parameter and also programming language to develop graphical user interface (GUI). It is expected that the plant growth environment can be monitored and controlled or set through cloud via Wi-Fi on the board. Multicolour light emitting diode (LED) lamps are used. This system will improve the performance of available plant growth area where it will become more flexible in term of providing artificial environment with a better supervision.

“…Besides that, green light can enhance the chlorophyll production [2]. In most past researches, blue and red light shows the most significant improvement for the plant growth [3][4][5]. Hence, in this paper, multicolour LEDs focusing on the red and blue light colours are to be discussed for better plant growth.…”

“…Crop cultivation, based solely on natural light and existing weather conditions, turns out to be complex, and sustainable development in modern farms is the basic criterion that allows profiting from the farm [58]. As indicated in the literature, the lack of sunlight can be successfully supplemented with the use of artificial light [58], [59], [60]. The use of artificial lighting brings a number of significant advantages, including better control over plant development, predictable crop yields, greater independence from climatic conditions [61].…”

The paper is a review of chosen reports on the integration of photovoltaics and agrotechnics and also presents the concept of an agro-photovoltaic foil tunnel module. The concept of an agro-photovoltaic module assumes the possibility of integrating the modules into the intelligent agro-photovoltaic fields. The proposed solution combines the cultivation in a foil tunnel with a photovoltaic farm. The paper reviews electronic solutions to control ambient parameters particularly those influencing the rate of photosynthesis in foil tunnels. The article also presents an analysis of energy and water balance of the module in 4 different climatic zones. The climate zones include locations in Poland, Spain, Algeria, and Colombia. The module's water requirements include drip irrigation and fogging systems. Water is assumed to be obtained from rainfall, desalination, non-conventional (treated, desalinated) resources, groundwater, and sub-artesian wells. The module's energy needs include electricity consumption for pumping freshwater, desalination and water treatment, irrigation and fertilization, additional lighting and heating of plants, folding and unfolding of foil covers, and energy consumption related to control. The article also presents an analysis of crop shading by solar panels and its impact on the selected crop. The functionality of the presented solution was assessed for tomato cultivation in the four selected areas. A foil tunnel of the total area 240 m2 was considered. 60 m2 of the tunnel was covered by the PV panels. Results of the analysis show that the most energetically effective agro-photovoltaic cultivation of tomatoes appears to be in the Saharan region of Africa where 16 MWh annual energy surplus has been obtained. Slightly less effective seem to be cultivations in Spain (Cartagena) and Colombia (Cali) with the approximately 15.5 MWh/a. The least effective agro-photovoltaic cultivation of tomatoes proved to be in Poland where the energy surplus reached 8.5 MWh/a. However, economic return from the cultivation strongly depends on local energy and tomato prices. The system of smart tunnels proposed by the authors combines photovoltaics with controlled protection of crops against unfavorable and extreme climatic conditions. In addition, the system allows plants to be grown with the maximum possible number of days with natural growing conditions, i.e. with uncovered tunnels, with natural bio-fertilization and with natural sunlight.

“…Sinar matahari terik akan menaikkan suhu dan kelembapan didalam greenhouse diakibatkan radiasi matahari yang menngenai atap greenhouse [5]. Selain itu kondisi pencahayaan di dalam greenhouse juga harus dibuat sebaik dan seoptimum mungkin untuk mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman [6]. Greenhouse yang banyak dikembangkan di Indonesia merupakan greenhouse dengan desain rigid dimana diperlukan pembangunan pondasi, tiang, dan atap permanen.…”

Greenhouse berfungsi untuk menciptakan lingkungan mikro yang baik bagi pertumbuhan tanaman. Lebih jauh lagi, fungsi greenhouse pada daerah tropis adalah melindungi tanaman dari intensitas radiasi matahari berlebih, mengurangi penguapan air dari daun dan media tanam, dan mengurangi resiko serangan hama penyakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan desain greenhouse yang lebih fleksibel namun memiliki fungsi sebagai rumah tanaman yang handal serta mempunyai stabilitas struktur yang baik. Desain greenhouse yang dikembangkan pada penelitian ini merupakan greenhouse dengan sistem modular sehingga dapat mudah dipindahkan dan mudah dirakit kembali. Greenhouse lipat modular ini dikembangkan dalam modul modul terpisah sehingga mudah dipindahkan dan ringan. Greenhouse ini dikembangkan terutama untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna yang menginginkan greenhouse yang kompak, mudah dimobilisasi, dan mudah dirakit. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian pada prototipe yang telah dibuat, diketahui bahwa tingkat fleksibilitas greenhouse cukup baik dan dapat dirakit kurang dari 1 jam. Namun dari uji fungsional diketahui bahwa greenhouse lipat modular ini belum cukup baik untuk menyediakan suhu dan kelembapan yang optimal bagi tanaman sehingga dibutuhkan perbaikan pemilihan material dinding sidewall bawah agar sirkulasi udara secara alami dapat optimal.
