Automatización lumínica para el crecimiento en plantas de pitahaya en fase de vivero.

Abstract

The research project focused on the growth of pitahaya plants in the nursery phase through the development of a prototype of a lighting automation system, using photoconductive photocell sensors and LED spotlights, although farmers generally integrate innovations in their nurseries. be technological in nature due to lack of knowledge in its implementation, causing the excessive passage of time to obtain suitable pitahaya plants for transplanting. The research for the development of the lighting automation system prototype was based on hypothetical-deductive and logical-inductive methods, which allowed the required information to be collected. Based on the data obtained through evaluation and comparison of pitahaya plants, it was possible to formulate its conclusions. In the research on the prototype of the lighting automation system, different sensor models with photocells and LED spotlights were compared. Subsequently, a prototype schematic diagram system was developed, which was subjected to comparative tests. These tests allowed us to evaluate the feasibility of creating lighting automation systems capable of providing artificial lighting for the growth of pitahaya plants in the nursery phase. The results demonstrated the usefulness and viability of this type of tools, highlighting their ease of use.
