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.

Abstract Reduced irrigation (RI) can conserve water and control plant growth; however, the timing of RI applications can impact plant growth and flowering. The goal of this research was to quantify growth of Salvia nemorosa L. ‘Ostfrieland' (East Friesland) in response to RI. A soil-moisture sensor automated irrigation system was used to apply four irrigation treatments: RI and well-watered (WW) controls (20% and 38% substrate water content) and two combination treatments to apply RI for either the first two weeks (20% followed by 38%, RIWW ) or final four weeks (38% followed by 20%, WWRI ) of the six-week study. Flower number, height, compactness, and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD) were not different across treatments. Average flower stem length was greater for the WW and RIWW treatments than for the RI treatment. Shoot dry weight was less for the RI treatment compared to the WW and RIWW treatments, respectively]. Cumulative irrigation volume was lowest for the RI treatment and highest for the RIWW treatment. Visually, plants in the RIWW treatment had an open, floppy habit that would likely negatively impact sales in a retail setting. Plants in the RI treatment were smaller, but visually appealing. Index words: soil moisture sensor, plant production, herbaceous perennial, container plants. Species used in this study: ‘Ostfrieland' salvia (Salvia nemorosa L.).

Soil moisture is needed in rice fields for plant growth, with attention to soil moisture in rice fields, it can increase fertility in the land which impacts existing plants. But in regulating soil moisture requires a level that is following the existing plants, because each plant has different humidity settings. This research will design a tool to adjust soil moisture in rice fields automatically to maintain soil moisture according to plant needs. This tool is designed to use a Soil Moisture sensor which can later be used as input data to the ESP8266 to drive a Servo Motor as a soil moisture regulator, a Servo Motor as an irrigation door drive. In making the design of irrigation arrangements, moisture data from each plant is needed because each plant has a different moisture content, from the results of the study, it was found that the soil moisture of kale plants was ± 49% - 68%, and soil moisture of corn plants ± 48% - 63%.Keywords:Automatic Watering, ESP8266, Soil Moisture Sensor.

Working Principle

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.
