PENGGUNAAN IRIGASI TETES PADA KEBUN JERUK BERBASIS INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Partner has relied on rainwater by using a rain-fed system to irrigate its plants. Problems arise when the dry season, due to limited water; plants can only bear fruit once a year unlike plants on other plantations that get irrigation river water can bear fruit twice a year. For this reason, a water reservoir is proposed as a place to store water from rain-fed systems, while to control the use of water an Internet of Things (IoT) based drip irrigation system uses solar panel energy due to the unavailability of electrical energy sources. Watering is done automatically based on soil moisture, if the soil moisture is less than 70% then the valve will open so that the water flows, otherwise if the humidity has been met then the valve will close. The existence of this activity, citrus plants can bear fruit twice a year
