abstract
Soil: Human life is connected with soil. Soil and agriculture complement each other. Just as the survival of fish without water and living beings without air is impossible, agriculture once became impossible without soil. But we all know that if a miracle had a similar name, it would be science. In today’s time, science and technology have developed a lot, and now that agriculture is possible without soil, soilless farming techniques are very popular these days. The name hydroponics is very popular in this context. The challenges of soil-based agriculture have now been reduced. This paper is based on the development of a portable-type inverted T-shaped hydroponics system, and additionally, automation is provided using a microcontroller-based automatic irrigation system to study the benefits of the developed structure as compared to the existing ones.
