Abstract : In hydroponic systems, precise pH management is crucial for optimizing plant growth and nutrient uptake. This study investigates the methodologies for measuring and maintaining pH levels in hydroponic systems, focusing on the effectiveness of various pH meters and calibration techniques. We assessed the accuracy and reliability of different pH measurement tools, including handheld meters and continuous monitoring systems, in a controlled hydroponic environment. Our results demonstrate how crucial routine pH meter calibration and maintenance are to ensure accurate readings. We also explored the impact of pH fluctuations on plant health and growth rates, providing recommendations for maintaining optimal pH levels to enhance nutrient availability and overall crop performance. The results emphasize the role of rigorous pH monitoring in the successful management of hydroponic systems.

Keywords : Hydroponics Systems, ESP32 Microcontroller, Touch Sensor, pH Meter (pH Sensor Probe).
