Abstract

This article presents smart hydroponic farming which provides a flexible and intelligent environment improving the quality of vegetable production. The main objective of this research is to develop a multi-agent system and test the functionality and interaction of the sub-systems. The tests were performed with lettuce plantation for 30 days. The model integrates six agents that cooperate in real-time for optimal production of vegetables; for this purpose, each agent helps the system using the knowledge acquired during the process.
