Abstract
Agriculture is one of the backbone sectors of Malaysia’s economic development. This sector provides jobs, provides income for the populace, and earns money by exporting products. The value of Malaysia's international agricultural industry in 2021 was $59.4 billion, with $36.1 billion in exports and $23.3 billion in imports. The world is undergoing a digital revolution. Therefore, using wireless technology to establish and accommodate digital connectivity with farmers in agricultural areas is appropriate. A Growth Monitoring System (GMonS) was created in this study to monitor a plant by providing a suitable environment using sensors such as moisture, humidity and temperature. This is a preliminary study of farmer's use in the agricultural sector, especially in rural areas. A moisture sensor measures the water content in the soil and can be used to estimate the amount of stored water in the soil horizon. A temperature sensor isa device used to measure temperature. This can be air temperature, liquid temperature or the temperature of solid matter. A humidity sensor isa device that senses, measures, and reports air's relative humidity (RH) or determines the amount of water vapour in a gas mixture (air) or pure gas. Humidity sensing is related to a water adsorption and desorption process. This sensor is among the critical sensors due to the photosynthesis process. The data was captured every ten minutes using this system within three months. The reading shows that the plant's growth was tracked using the GMonS to maintain a proper environment for plant growth. While they are not in the fields, farmers can use sensor technologies to wirelessly communicate with one another to learn about the diverse demands and requirements of crops. This application is critical and a great friend for the plant, especially in the new digital age with IR 4.0.
