Abstract

The development of technology which is now increasing day by day has helped mankind a lot in every aspect including the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects produced by green spinach when supplied with several types of nutrients of different conditions by using a smart hydroponic set. The use of basic hydroponic techniques such as the wick system will be able to help facilitate the work of newcomers who want to venture into the field of hydroponic agriculture. Users can see the current condition of the nutrient in Blynk application on their smartphone or laptop at any time and anywhere as long as there is an internet connection throught this smart farming system. Green spinach will be analyzed as a result of its growth in terms of increasing stem height, total leaf production and also the survival rate after being supplied with 4 different nutrient solution conditions which are high concentration, low concentration, high pH and low pH. In comparison to the other three categories of nutrients, low concentration nutrients were shown to be the best, according to the analysis conducted. Green spinach grown with low-concentration nutrients had the most positive results, and all of the samples survived the throughout analysis. In addition, low pH nutrients are the most inappropriate nutrients for green spinach. After the third day of analysis, all green spinach samples were discovered to be dead. The effectiveness of the IoT system integrated into this hydroponic set makes it very easy and quick to monitor the condition of nutrient compared to ordinary farming methods that have to be measured manually.
