Abstract

Climate change has resulted in unpredictable weather conditions, resulting in a global food deficit. A feasible solution to this problem would be for households to grow a reasonable percentage of their veggies and crops in a greenhouse that does not require a lot of land. When compared to open field gardening, a greenhouse will often produce more crops per square metre because the microclimatic parameters that impact crop output are continuously monitored and controlled to guarantee that an optimal environment is maintained. The greenhouse system is made up of two greenhouses: Electronic circuits is installed in the first greenhouse(G1) and the second greenhouse is devoid of electronic Circuits (G2). Therefore, a program was designed to know and control the environmental conditions inside the greenhouse(G1). The system was created and tested on a smaller scale. For that, seedlings of cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) were grown in both greenhouses.  Germination percentage, speed of germination, length of seedling, the seedling vigor index (G1), (G2), 98.8, 91.6 percent, 1.3, 1.7 days, 8.4, 6.6 cm, and 14,10 cm respectively.
