Abstract

Watering activities are an important thing in the maintenance of plants because they can support the optimal growth of plants in addition to the watering of plants must be done promptly. In the right conditions and can also minimize human work, it takes an application of a system that can regulate the watering of plants in good conditions. The problem experienced by farmers is the difficulty to monitor soil moisture which is a major factor in agriculture. By utilizing technology to be able to monitor soil moisture. Environmental factors that can affectthe growth of plants are soil moisture. Innovation of information and communicationtechnology in agriculture is the use of Arduino sensors. By using information andcommunication technology equipment, it can know the soil moisture that becomes the mainplanting medium of crops. It will be very useful if you can know the moisture value of the soil tobe able to determine the handling or step of the soil. Observation is a way of retrieving data byusing vision as a tool to make direct observations. The author conducts direct observations onplant growth and yields on hydroponic plants in thousand of islands.
