Abstract:
Greenhouses are especially important in hot climates. In fact, there are some plants that cannot survive in hot climates; for instance, strawberries, peaches, and pomegranates. In general, Greenhouses are a closed and transparent structure that can be used in home gardens and farms, creating a suitable environment for plants to grow in a relatively cold environment. Furthermore, greenhouses offer some other factors of extreme importance for plants to grow rapidly; to name but a few, cold temperature, suitable humidity, soil moisture, and a cover from harmful winds. A greenhouse is designed in such a way to increase the production of crops and harvest seasons. Moreover, greenhouses are mobile, which makes them easy to transfer from one place to another if need arises. Besides, a greenhouse is not limited to a specific size, but can be adjusted based on the available surface area and number of crops. Unlike traditional greenhouses, the automated greenhouse proposed in this paper will have an automatic irrigation system and a weather controller
