Boosting Aeroponic System Development with Plasma and High-Efficiency Tools: AI and IoT—A Review

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 546 - 546

Published: Feb. 23, 2025

Sustainable agriculture faces major issues with resource efficiency, nutrient distribution, and plant health. Traditional soil-based soilless farming systems encounter including excessive water use, insufficient uptake, nitrogen deficiency, restricted development. According to the previous literature, aeroponic accelerate growth rates, improve root oxygenation, significantly enhance use particularly when paired both low- high-pressure misting systems. However, despite these advantages, they also present certain challenges. A drawback is inefficiency of fixation, resulting in availability heightened stress from uncontrolled misting, which ultimately reduces yield. Many studies have investigated plasma uses cultures; nevertheless, however, its function aeroponics remains unexplored. Therefore, work aims thoroughly investigate review integration plasma-activated (PAW) mist (PAM) solve important problems. current literature discloses that PAW PAM expand promote modulate microbial populations, elevated crop yields enhanced health, akin other Reactive oxygen species (RONS) produced by treatments bioavailability, development, equilibrium, alleviating critical challenges aeroponics, especially within fine-mist settings. This further examines artificial intelligence (AI) Internet Things (IoT) aeroponics. Models driven AI enable accurate regulation fertilizer concentrations, cycles, temperature, humidity, as well real-time monitoring predictive analytics. IoT-enabled smart employ sensors for continuous gas detection (e.g., NO2, O3, NH3), providing automated modifications efficiency. Based on a brief this study concludes future technology IoT may address limitations The intelligent data-driven control can sustainable efficient agricultural production. research supports existing body advocates plasma-based innovations solutions precision farming.
