Abstract The utilization of information and communication technology, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) can use sensors (along with the application interface). Sensors are able to measure features in the soil at any time such as pH, humidity and nutrients. Measurements can be made at any time, meaning the sensor is also able to monitor changes in the value of these features. This study aims to implement an Internet of Things (IoT) Information System to measure and monitor humidity, pH, and NPK levels in Regosol soil planted with mustard greens with capillary irrigation and liquid organic fertilizer. This study used a completely randomized design with two factors, namely the type of liquid organic fertilizer and the number of capillary irrigation wicks. The first factor consists of 4 levels: P0: No liquid organic fertilizer, P1: 5 liters/ha Liquid organic fertilizer from household waste, P2: 5 liters/ha Liquid organic fertilizer from Biduri leaves, P3 : 300 kg/ha NPK fertilizer. The second factor consists of 3 levels: I0: No capillary irrigation, I1: Capillary irrigation with 1 wick, I2: Capillary irrigation with 2 wicks. The results showed that the soil moisture during the growth of mustard greens was 16.59% to 23.48%, the more capillary wick, the higher the soil moisture, the average water requirement for mustard plant growth was 3.16 liters. The application of liquid organic fertilizer has a significant effect on soil pH and soil NPK levels. Capillary irrigation had a significant effect on soil pH, but had no significant effect on soil NPK levels.
