Monitoring Growth Responses, Leaf Characterization, and Energy Efficiency in Substrate and Smart Sensors Enabled Hydroponics
Unfortunately, I have not found the scientific contribution inside this manuscript. A major rewrite is required, including some experimental results which verify simulation results.
Some points need to be known.
· In this work, much literature is included, and the paper's objectives are unclear.
· What are the key contributions of the proposed work? Please clear.
· The English language needs to be improved throughout the manuscript.
· There are no experimental results in the proposed work. Experimental results should be included for a scientific article in a serious journal.
