Control of Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) on Black Sesame Seed (Sesamum indicum L.) Sprout Production in a Micro-Greenhouse Using Intelligent Control

The demand for fresh and healthy food has been increasing, different options growing sprouts have presented to solve this, such as traditional techniques cultivation under controlled conditions. However, sprout farming not explored all the tools available produce these foods This study presents an alternative sesame seed in a micro-greenhouse applying intelligent control algorithms vapor pressure deficit. There was improvement of 56% germination percentage, 2.59 index, 9.7% production proteins, 1.1% ash increase 77.03 mm sprouts’ length collected comparison with technique. achieved by maintaining mean error soil moisture at 87% 0.93 kPa deficit proportional–integral–derivative, fuzzy logic neural network micro-greenhouse. shows that nutritional content, measured parameters size are improved
