Abstract: ATIENZA, LONIDA A., GANCAYCO, JAYFORD S. and EMELITA V. NONES. Design and Development of a Microcontroller Unit Based Verticulture System for Leafy Vegetables. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2004. Design Project Adviser: Mrs. Emeline C. Guevarra. The Microcontroller Unit Based Verticulture System for Leafy Vegetables was designed and developed at Pantihan II, Maragondon, Cavite from September until November 2003. It was tested from December 11, 2003 to January 9, 2004 at the constructed greenhouse beside the old Engineering Building. It was pre-evaluated on December 16, 2003 and finally evaluated on January 9, 2004. The study focused on the design and development of a microcontroller unit based verticulture system for leafy vegetables. Also, it focused on testing how the verticulture system became more convenient and efficient to use than the traditional method of growing pechay plants. The plants in the verticulture system were irrigated and fertilized depending on the moisture level of the soil and the time set in the microcontroller unit while the plants in the plot were manually irrigated and fertilized. The microcontroller unit is composed of the following components: Z86E30 IC; ADC0804 IC; 7805 IC; 74HC373 IC; DS1287A IC; CD4052 IC; 2-pin terminal block; 5-pin connector set; 8-pin connector set; 10-pin connector set; 16-pin IC socket; 20-pin IC socket; 24-pin IC socket; 28-pin IC socket; 16 x 2 LCD; 100 i.tf/16 V electrolytic capacitor; 1000 0/16 V electrolytic capacitor; bridge diode; 4 MHz crystal oscillator; trimmer; 'A W resistors; heat sink; solid wire; PCB paper base; push button switches; rocker switch; fuse holder; 220 V solenoid valves; and DM-15 model soil pH and moisture testers. After all the data were obtained and averaged, it was observed that the plants grown in both the pollulator and the plot had no big difference. However, in financial considerations, the verticulture system costs more than the traditional method. The total amount of all the expenses was P 26, 650.3875. Several recommendations were made after testing and evaluating the performance and operation of the verticulture system like: use of liquid complete fertilizer for an easier way of preparing fertilizer solution; and use of other alternative less expensive materials in constructing the pollulators.
