The Horticulture Sector

IoT technology is transforming horticulture by providing real-time monitoring, data-driven insights, and automated controls to optimise plant growth, resource use, and biodiversity.

Key applications include:

🌿 Plant and Garden Monitoring:

IoT sensors track soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light levels, helping gardeners and horticulturists maintain optimal growing conditions for plants, flowers, and trees.

💧 Hydroponics:

Connected systems regulate water flow, nutrient dosing, pH levels, and lighting for soilless cultivation—enabling precision farming and year-round crop production with reduced resource use.

🐝 Pollination and Biodiversity Support:

IoT-enabled beehive sensors monitor hive health, bee activity, and environmental conditions, helping safeguard pollinators and supporting natural pollination processes.

🌱 Smart Irrigation and Fertilisation:

Automated irrigation systems adjust watering based on sensor data, reducing waste and promoting efficient nutrient delivery.

🌸 Greenhouse Control:

IoT platforms manage temperature, ventilation, and CO₂ levels to create optimal microclimates for sensitive plants.

Together, these solutions improve yield quality, conserve water, reduce inputs, and promote sustainable, biodiversity-friendly horticulture.
