Development and Implementation of Smart Irigation for Precision Farming

Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the important sectors in people’s lives as well as an important role in Indonesia’s economic growth. However, agriculture in Indonesia is not a few who still use conventional technology, so an agricultural system that can make it easier for farmers to manage their agricultural land is needed. In this system, a smart irrigation system is developed which is implemented for precision farming, by utilizing IoT technology as a means of connection between devices as well as monitoring and controlling irrigation. Parameter values such as air humidity, air temperature, soil moisture, and soil pH measured on the sensor will be sent to the database server to be displayed on the front end of the website so that users can access them using their respective devices. In addition, the soil moisture value stored in the database will later be used by the solenoid controller component to carry out the watering process.
