Rancang Bangun Alat Penyemprot Pestisida Organik Otomatis Menggunakan Tenaga Surya Berbasis Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

The research aims to design and build automated organic pesticide atomizers that use solar power and are based on the Internet of Things (IoT). In the context of modern agriculture, the use of IoT has become very important for improving efficiency and effectiveness in pest control. The tools designed will utilize sensors to collect data in real-time, which is then processed by microcontroller-based systems such as ESP32. This data will be used to control actuators, such as sprayer pumps, and transmit information to cloud-based monitoring dashboards such as Blynk. The system is expected to reduce pesticide consumption by up to 30%, making it more accurate and cost-effective compared to conventional methods. In addition, it is designed with semi-portable and static forms, with limited spray range, without being equipped with automatic mobility systems such as robot rovers or drones. This research also contributes to the development of literature in the field of renewable energy-based agricultural automation and IoT, which is an important step in the direction of more sustainable and efficient agriculture. With this tool, it is hoped that farmers will be able to spray pesticides more effectively, reduce the negative impact on the environment, and increase agricultural yields. This research is one of the first steps in the application of modern technologies in the agricultural sector, which is expected to provide long-term benefits for farmers and the wider community.
