Abstract

Today’s technology development in our daily lives has led us to a better way of living. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the new trend technologies that helps to ease people doing their daily chores. IoT helps to link physical devices around the world to link to the Internet for remote control. This application of technology can help people in the agriculture field in many ways. Fertigation is a process in which fertiliser is being applied with the irrigation water. The traditional way of farming often wastes a lot of time and requires a lot of workloads. The main problem with having traditional fertigation is the user cannot monitor their plant efficiently and can cause the plant to die due to insufficient nutrients. This is because monitoring traditional planting is not as efficient as monitoring using sensors. The Smart Fertigation System using IoT is proposed to solve this problem and helps users to monitor and control their plant using sensors and mobile devices. The plant or crop that is suitable for the fertigation system are chillies, rockmelon, tomato, brinjal, and watermelon. This proposed system is ideal for housewives, teachers, any other full-time workers, and farmers that having a lack of time in monitoring their plants. There are several parameters that user needs to consider such as ultrasonic sensor, soil moisture sensor, PIR motion sensor, and photocell sensor that need to control in one time. These sensors will collect and send data from surrounding to the Microcontroller. Methodology rapid application development (RAD) is used to produce a working prototype of the proposed system in a shorter period. The system is connected to the Internet by using Wi-Fi and the user can enter the parameters in the mobile application. Then, it will transmit the data to the system over the Internet. Overall, this thesis introduces the background of the system, methodology that is used, system design, system prototype, achievements of the system, and the future enhancements that can be done.
