| Summary: | 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. |
