The design of a Biochamber for Micropropagation of Banana tissue culture plants and controlling the Biochamber process using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Abstract

Biochamber of banana tissue culture is one of the technology for plant propagation that using the Aeroponics System. The aeroponics method is applied because it requires sterile environment. The project is done in order to control the environment for the banana tissue culture propagation using a biochamber. It consists of researching the banana tissue culture propagation and the aeroponics method, surveying and analyzing the hardware requirement such as pump, valve, nozzle, Reverse Osmosis System, sensors and Laminar Flow Cabinet The process is controlled by using the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
