Abstract

Nowadays, technology is an essential part in our daily life. Everything has been integrated with the technology to ease the progress such as communication, medicine, agriculture and many more. Based on the statistic from the government, the population of human have been increased where can contribute the highly demand of the food. Talk about the food, it is related to agriculture. Durian is well known fruit among Malaysian which is fruiting once a year. The demand of the durian has been increased drastically since 2019 when the new varieties such as Musang King, Duri Hitam and IOI have been introduced. Even though the price is high, it does not deter the customer from buy it. The price of the durian has encouraged other people who have the orchard to plant the durian trees. Unfortunately, there is so many challenges on growing the durian tree such as soil humidity, environment temperature and water. The most problem is water management. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop the irrigation system for durian tree using Arduino platform. In this project, it has a system to irrigate the crops when the water level in the soil decreased. Soil moisture sensor will detect the humidity before allowing the water pump to function where controlled by the relay. This system uses the Arduino Uno as a microcontroller to control all the component and all parameters get the electric from the solar panel. Based on the observation, this system will help the durian farmer to irrigate the crops and control the water given. The possibility for tree to get disease also decrease due to the good water management. This project suitable for part time durian farmer who not always come to the orchard.
