Abstract: Microcontroller Based Automated Plant Nursery System introduced a basic yet important system that automatically waters the plants, provides conditional temperature and moisture as needed by the crops. This system consists of automated plant irrigation, temperature controller and saturation control elements. Microcontroller PIC16F877 is been used as a main controller to control the entire three main functional unit. This controller is been used as it is suitable for an experimental, measurement and basic controlling application because of its low price, wide range of applications, high quality, and ease of availability. This system is real time based which able to indicate the exact condition and temperature of the nursery and to perform needed action in providing an ideal condition for the plants. This paper is a review of the hardware design of the system.
Key words: automated plant nursery system, microcontroller, PIC16F877, irrigation
