Abstract

Synthetic fertilizers have played a role in enhancing agricultural productivity, yet concerns over their environmental and health impacts requires the exploration of an alternative, an organic fertilizer. This project focuses on compost tea, an organic nutritional additive derived from compost fermentation, as a sustainable option for plant nutrition. The project is referred to the traditional method of compost tea brewing. Automating the brewing process can be made by introducing Arduino microcontroller and sensors. Aiming to produce the perfect compost tea there are certain key parameter needed to be monitor such as pH and liquid temperature. This parameter provides the optimum environment for microbial activity and nutrient extraction. Combining the project with Internet of Things Capabilities allowed for a real-time remote monitoring. The project has been tested and are able to perform the task of providing aeration for compost tea brewing and monitoring the key parameter. Overall, the project has deemed to be success in its development and are able to helps people in making their own organic fertilizer in hopes of reducing the use of synthetic fertilizer.
