Abstract

The development of this document is focused on the analysis of two types of soil: greenhouse substrate and earthworm humus mixed with the greenhouse substrate, which have been used to measure important factors, such as temperature, humidity, light, water irrigation, in the germination of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) seeds, then stored this information in a database, the period of time for evaluation is the fifteen days. To acquire this information, sensors are used, capable of transforming variables such as temperature, environmental humidity, soil humidity, amount of ambient light, into electrical signals that are processed by an electronic microcontroller. This microcontroller is in charge of handling this data, it is also in charge of controlling the use of water irrigation pumps in a closed environment and later storing, in a database, its behavior. In the field of agriculture, the use of electronic hardware is implemented as a tool that helps in this area, presenting sensors to capture data and actuators that are useful for automating conditions such as water irrigation in closed environments.
