“Design and Development of Solar Powered Automatic Greenhouse Watering
System at Romblon State University ,Main Campus Climatic Conditions ”

The main objective of the study was to develop automated watering

system for RSU greenhouse .Specially (1) to design automated watering system that
will water the plant at a given time schedule.(2)To develop automated greenhouse
watering system powered by solar energy. (3)To determine the soil moisture
content before and after watering.

The study was limited on the development of solar powered

automatic greenhouse watering system.Testing the system was done in the month
of October .Moreover only one sprinkle set was installed and 30 plants of letuse
was prepared.Solar panel ,12V, 20W was used to provide the power needed to
move the sprinkler set back and fort. The height of the sprinkler is 1.2m(3.8ft) from
the ground .Also, the height of the tank from the ground is limited 0.91m(3ft).

Result of the test show that the moisture content of the soil after using
the automatic watering system was at 36.3% in the morning 32.6% in the afternoon
.Moreover the system is adaptable to RSU climatic condetion .The total cost of
automatic watering system was based on the expenditures of the supplies and
materials labor and others.The total cost of the project amounted to Php
13,552.00.The study was conducted at Banana Tissue Laboratory ,RSU from June
2013 to November 2013.
