Development at this time is increasing, people expect a tool or technology that can help human work, so technology becomes a necessity for humans. This final task is made a device that can do the job of watering tomato plants automatically. This tool aims to replace the manual work becomes automatic. The benefit of this tool is that it can facilitate the work of humans in watering chili plants. This tool uses a soil moisture sensor which acts as a soil moisture detector and sends an order to Arduino Uno to turn on the relay driver so that the wiper motor can splash water according to the needs of the soil automatically. The making of this final project is done by designing, making and implementing system components which include Arduino uno as a controller, driver relay to blow on and off the wiper motor, LCD (Linquit Cristal Display) to display the percentage value of water content

Soil Moisture Monitoring

Readily available moisture in the root zone is very important for optimum plant growth. The available techniques to determine soil moisture content have practical limitations owing to their high cost, dependence on labor, and time consumption. We have developed a prototype for automated soil moisture monitoring using a low-cost capacitive soil moisture sensor (SKU:SEN0193) for data acquisition, connected to the internet. A soil-specific calibration was performed to integrate the sensor with the automated soil moisture monitoring system. The accuracy of the soil moisture measurements was compared with those of a gravimetric method and a well-established soil moisture sensor (SM-200, Delta-T Devices Ltd, Cambridge, UK). The root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the soil water contents obtained with the SKU:SEN0193 sensor function, the SM-200 manufacturer’s function, and the SM-200 soil-specific calibration function were 0.09, 0.07, and 0.06 cm3 cm−3, for samples in the dry to saturated range, and 0.05, 0.08, and 0.03 cm3 cm−3, for samples in the field capacity range. The repeatability of the measurements recorded with the developed calibration function support the potential use of the SKU:SEN0193 sensor to minimize the risk of soil moisture stress or excess water application.

<p>naman merupakan tumbuhan yang dibudidayakan agar dapat diambil manfaatnya. Budidaya tanaman sendiri pada dasarnya dapat menjadi peluang usaha yang menjanjikan. Mulai dari budidaya tanaman hias, sayur mayur dan lain sebagainya. Tetapi saat ini produksi tanaman hias masih banyak yang belum menghasilkan hasil yang maksimal, dikarenakan masyarakat masih menggunakan teknologi manual dalam sistem pertanian yang digunakan. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini adalah merancang sebuah alat penyiraman tanaman hias otomatis untuk mengatasi masalah dalam penyiraman tanaman hias yang masin dilakukan secara manual dan sebagai bahan pembelajaran. Prototype ini menggunakan Arduino Uno sebagai pengontrol utama, sensor kelembaban tanah<br />digunakan untuk membaca kadar kelembaban tanah dan digunakan sebagai saklar untuk menghidupkan pompa penyiram. Dengan adanya alat penyiram otomatis ini, sensor kelembaban tanah akan membaca kelembaban tanah apakah tanah dalam keadaan kering apa sudah dalam keadaan basah. Ketika tanah dalam keadaan kering alat penyiram akan menyiram sampai tanah menjadi basah dan ketika sudah basah mesin akan mati secara otomatis.</p><p><br /><strong>Kata kunci</strong> : prototype, penyiram tanaman Arduino UNO, Sensor kelembaban tanah, Tanaman Hias.</p>

IoT plays a vital role in modern technologies by connecting objects to internet through which real time values can be . The system is developed using one such technology in greenhouse. The system developed for the purpose of crop prediction in greenhouse. Soil parameters such as pH and moisture, the environment parameters like temperature and humidity is acquired from the implemented system. The required nutrients such as N, P, K is fed to the crops manually is also considered as input for crop prediction. The system is developed with Arduino Uno, NodeMCU ESP8266(WIFI Module), Sensor like DHT Humidity and Temperature DHT11, pH Analogy, Soil Moisture sensor, 12V DC motor for triggering, 12V Relay and a few other components to complete the circuit. Web hosting is done using PHP. The sensors values get stored in data base using MYSQL for further analytics.

Different Soils

Water is the main limiting factor in agricultural production as well as a scarce resource that needs to be optimized. The measurement of soil water with sensors is an efficient way for optimal irrigation management. However, commercial sensors are still too expensive for most farmers. This paper presents the design, development and calibration of a new capacitive low-cost soil moisture sensor that incorporates SDI-12 communication, allowing one to select the calibration equation for different soils. The sensor was calibrated in three different soils and its variability and accuracy were evaluated. Lower but cost-compensated accuracy was observed in comparing it with commercial sensors. Field tests have demonstrated the temperature influence on the sensor and its capability to efficiently detect irrigation and rainfall events.
