In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller was design and develop to control the temperature, relative humidity and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) inside the prototype tomato growth chamber. The model was develop to automatically adjust the inside parameters to obtain the optimum tomato plant environment condition. The growth chamber fuzzy logic controller was modeled using the MATLAB fuzzy logic tool box. In this research we design a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to control the environment parameters in the growth chamber. In order to provide the most suitable conditions for the growth of the tomato plant and might minimize energy consumption. © 2017 IEEE.
