Based on data published by the Ministry of Living Environment and Forestry in 2020, Indonesia produces at least 93,200 tons of waste per day in various types of composition or around 34 million tons of waste per year. From the collection of waste, it could be used as compost fertilizer which is taken from leaf waste. From these problems, a device was designed that could monitor the decomposition process of organic waste into compost fertilizer. This device is equipped with a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, sensor of soil pH, soil moisture sensor, and color sensor to monitor the composting fertilizer process. The device could also detect plant growth as an indication that the compost fertilizer made is in good condition. Our device was used on the Internet of Things (IoT) and the blynk application as a monitoring application. From the test results, the temperature sensor's accuracy is 98.2%, the humidity sensor is 96.1%, the soil pH sensor is 95.26%, the soil moisture sensor is 98.55%, and the color sensor successfully detects the results of plant growth well. The design of this device is expected to invite the public to be wiser in sorting waste and using it for the surrounding environment.

This paper presents a new method for supplying nutrients to the farm. This novel method uses IoT and Wireless Sensor Network in Farming. Soil Moisture sensor and humidity sensor monitor the soil properties. These results are updated to the IoT Server. Based on the values for humidity of the soil, drip irrigation to the plant is on/off through solenoid valve. In addition this paper concentrates on quantitative analysis of requirement of nutrients for the plant to avoid overdose or insufficiency of them. This work trains the machine using precision agriculture for supplying required nutrient to the plant using solenoid on/off valve through drip irrigation. It also alerts the user by sending SMS (Short Messaging Service) through GSM to the user on fertigation date and pesticides spraying date. This will be very helpful for the farmers to remember the fertigation date in their various activities. The limitation of this work is that the fertilizers used will only be liquid in state. This technology can also be improved to a large level agricultural production.

This study aims to create an Arduino-based automatic plant watering system, in which the water pump can pump water automatically based on the reading from the soil moisture sensor, which aims to make it easier for people to water plants. This research was conducted at the Palopo City Agriculture Office. The results of this study indicate that users no longer need to water plants manually. In designing an Arduino-based Automatic Plant Watering System, a microcontroller and several components are used, including: Arduino UNO, FC-28 moisture sensor, water pump, relay, 16x2 LCD and breadboard. This tool works by reading data from the soil moisture sensor, if The sensor detects dry soil levels, then the data from the sensor will be read by Arduino. The data that has been read by Arduino will be forwarded to the relay, then the relay will forward the data that will be used to turn on or turn off the water pump


Industry 4.0 has already arrived in the world and is leaving no stone unturned. It can be quickly summarized into just 4 components being, Cyber- physical systems, IOT, Cloud Computing and Cognitive computing. Current technologies, which uses soil moisture sensor require hard wiring and manual interventions. Other timer technologies irrigate the plants at certain interval without checking the need. In the proposed system, robotics with Artificial Intelligence are integrated with IoT systems to allow the farmer who is available at a different location than the farm to get the necessary updates involving the irrigation process taking place in the field. The system will also drain the excess water. The proposed system would allow better water management, higher yield and reduce the required manpower

Taking measurements for agriculture purposes is a challenge that this project tackles. A UAV and some sensors are being used to monitor a big field. The target of this project is to design a fully autonomous system that covers the area of planted land. The system collects information and sends what is collected directly to the base station. Furthermore, the design is divided into two parts: plane design and ground design. The plane design includes a temperature sensor, a CO2 sensor, a NoIR camera, a regular camera and a 4G dongle. The ground design, however, has one soil moisture sensor, one H2S sensor and a GSM module. The plane takes a trip around the field to record real time data and transmits, while the on-ground black box sends data to the base station. Finally, data is analysed, and reports are sent to the base station and the mobile application created for this cause. The plane has carried tests in the airport in Al-Khor city. The tests were to make sure the UAV flies properly and they were successful.

Plants play a vital role in maintaining the ecological cycle, and thus, to maintain the plant's proper growth and health, adequate monitoring is required. Hence, the aim of the chapter is to create a smart plant monitoring system using automation and internet of things (IOT) technology. This topic highlights various features such as smart decision making based on soil moisture real-time data. For this purpose, sensors like soil moisture sensor, DHT11 sensor, level sensor, etc. are used. The soil moisture sensor measures the level of moisture (i.e., water content of different plants). The signal will be sent to Arduino board when the moisture level drops below the marginal value, which triggers the pumping of water into the plant by the pump. When the moisture level reaches absolute value, the pump is halted. The other condition for this process is level sensor. Level sensor senses the water level in the tank and sends the information of water level value to Arduino board and Arduino board to cloud. The whole data about the plant monitoring will be sent to the cloud server.


The main objective of this prototype is to provide motor ON or OFF information to the farmers, which helps in saving water quantity and money. The entire prototype is controlled by using Arduino UNO microcontroller, which gives interrupt signal to the motor pump. Soil moisture sensor is connected to digital port through analog and digital comparator. Whenever there is a fluctuation in soil moisture sensor senses the changes happening in soil and send interrupt signal to the arduino and thus the motor pump is activated or deactivated depend upon the changes happening in the soil. Along with this, mobile phone is used to indicate the motor pump condition through GSM Module and the whole prototype will function by implementing Solar Panel and Rechargeable battery


The proper usage of water is essential in irrigation because of the shortage of water. The shortage of water is due to lack of rain and continuous supply of water for irrigation as a result lot of water got wasted. It is very much essential to manage the use of water efficiently. The main objective in this project is to watering crops automatically by monitoring soil moisture for supply water based on the requirement and to maintain the water level in the overhead tank. This system suits for all climatic conditions. This project proposed on the usage of automatic irrigation system based on Arduino board, soil moisture sensor, float switch and solar panel. This automatic irrigation system senses the moisture content of the soil and automatically switches the solenoid valve and the overhead water level is monitor by float switch sensor and the power the required for the entire system is generated by using the solar panel. It will automatically control the water level in the tank also. The Global system for mobile communication (GSM) module sends the message, whenever the valve is turn ON and OFF. This project is fully automatic to support farmers, provides water as required, deploys renewable energy, minimize man power, less space, low cost and user friendly.

The Indonesian country which is famous for its tropical climate has now experienced a shift in two seasons (dry season and rainy season). This has an impact on cropping and harvesting systems among farmers. In large scale this is very influential considering that farmers in Indonesia are stilldependent on rainfall which results in soil moisture. Some types of plants that are very dependent on soil moisture will greatly require rainfall or water for growth and development. Through this research, researchers tried to make a prototype application for watering plants using ATMEGA328 microcontroller based soil moisture sensor. Development of application systems using the prototype method as a simple method which is the first step and can be developed again for large scale. The working principle of this prototype is simply that when soil moisture reaches a certainthreshold (above 56%) then the system will work by activating the watering system, if it is below 56% the system does not work or in other words soil moisture is considered sufficient for certain plant needs.
