Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture offers significant potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of farming practices. This report presents the development and implementation of an IoT-based automatic fertigation system utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller. The system is designed to optimize the delivery of water and nutrients to crops through precise control and monitoring mechanisms. The key elements of the project are include soil moisture, temperature and humidity sensors that provide the real-time data to the ESP32 microcontroller. This microcontroller will process the data and also manage the distribution of water and fertilizer. The data that has been collected will be sent to a cloud-based platform for the purpose of storage, analysis and remote monitoring, this system allows farmers to make informed decisions and manage their fertigation process remotely. In addition, this project can also control liquid fertilizer by using the switch on the application to activate the water pump to flow the fertilizer to the plants. This project has worked successfully and has been tested by comparing the temperature and humidity with a standard device. By using an automatic system method for watering it can help plants growth quickly. This project shows that the system that has been used can contribute significantly to optimizing agricultural resources and increasing crop productivity.
