According to global trend, despite the overall scale of agricultural industry has been downsized, agriculture accommodating cutting-edge ICT technologies has been proliferated, and various timely-issued relevant researches have been on progress to deploy the future food cultivation. In this paper, we propose an effective nutrient management system with web-based monitoring with functionality of controlling temperature, humidity, pH (hydrogen ion), EC (Electric Conductivity), LED and cooling fan to maintain the hydroponic nurturing environment being optimal. In this paper, in order the arduino hardware and java software are employed to control the nurturing environment automatically in optimal fashion. In proposed system, due to the usage of WiFi router with the socket communication and DB-assisted Web server with proper interfaces, it allows to facilitate the management to keep monitoring and controling overall hydroponic nurturing environment. Since the proposed Web-based management system provides the superior reliability, the short nurturing period and the robustness to the pest by controlling LED emitting color rather than conventional system, so it can be applied and appropriate for in-house vegetable factory overcoming limitation of time and location.
