Abstract

Agricultural technology nowadays keep changing, the product not only can be increased with double, but planting method can be simplified and can avoid from pest enemy attack and in labor cost same time could be reduced. Fertigation system is a method of cultivation system that combines fertilization in irrigation systems, this means that fertilization carried out simultaneously with irrigation. Fertigation system using this system because the complete flow of fertilizers to agricultural crops because the medium of planting do not have the nutrients because do not use soil, instead using media cocopeat, rice husk, rootwool and others as a soil substitute. This fertigation system is also using fertilizing method that required by the root zone of trees effectively and without waste. Fertigation system is also a branch of hydroponics. "Automatic Fertigation Control System Using PIC" is a project that improved from the original system so that the process becomes more efficient. This project use microcontroller to operate and mixture of fertilizer also automatically done. Whereas current product only use the system timer to operate, and mixture of fertilizers is manually done. This project is doing automatic irrigation according to time, usually between 3 to 6 times a day for 5- 10 minutes with the PIC control. The projects that using this fully automated control can be expected to increase the production of agricultural products and hope it can help farmers in the agricultural.
