Sistem Berbasis Android untuk Pemantauan dan Pengendalian Pertumbuhan pada Budidaya Tanaman Menggunakan Mikrokontroler Arduino Mega 2560 Pro

Abstract

Limited land in urban areas can be used for agricultural activities. One of the uses that can be done is with agricultural robots. Agricultural robots are a combination of multiple robots and crop cultivation, to create a beneficial synergy between technology and agriculture. The author's research uses arduino mega2560pro as a microcontroller with an android application base to monitor, control, and set minimum and maximum normal parameters for plant cultivation. For monitoring plant cultivation, researchers use parameters of environmental temperature, soil pH, soil moisture and NPK levels which can be monitored in real time and organized in graphical form. When the condition of the plant is not normal, the user receives a notification to control the condition of the cultivation of the plant. Controlling the conditions of plant cultivation uses rules with the Rule-Based method to activate the increase in pH levels and for soil moisture by watering plants using a robot schedule. Utilization of agricultural robots gives maximum results at temperatures between 100 C to 380 C, to be precise at 27.19 0C, at soil pH ranging from 6-8 values, to be exact at 7.53, then for NPK levels in the soil, Nitrogen 155 - 250 ppm to be exact at 157.5. ppm, Phosphorus 6.1 – 12.2 ppm to be precise at the value of 11.5 ppm, Potassium 65.5 – 155.5 ppm to be exact at the value of 67.5 ppm.
