Abstract
The agricultural sector has introduced a number of new technologies or improvements to ensure that quality crops come from green vegetables till fruited and flowering plants. Among the improvements that have been made in Malaysia is irrigation systems which is a method for watering plant. It controls the quantity of water by channeling it to the plant at a certain interval. It also controls the quality of crop yields and maintains the landscape. Irrigation system has many methods like dripping irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and surface irrigation. In addition, the fertigation system is also one of the wages that has been done. Fertigation is the system where the fertilizer is injected into an irrigation water to balance the soil nutrients and water usage. However, fertigation requires the right frequency to be channeled to the crops to avoid the crops to damage. Currently, the farmers implemented the fertigation system by using trial-and-error method which lead to water and fertilizers wastage. Because of that, a smart fertigation system for plant is designed to overcome the problems. Moisture sensor is used in this system to control the frequency of water and fertilizers flowing. The fertigation tank valve (tank D) will be opened and the solution will come out when the soil is dry.Then, water level sensor is used to detect when the tank is empty. When the tank runs out of the solution, the valve on the water tank (tank A), fertilizers A (tank B) and fertilizers B (tank C) will be opened and filling the tank A.The system is fully automated, so farmers do not have to spend much time checking plant conditions
