Moisture Measurement Growing Media and Automatic Watering Mini Greenhouse Growing Media for Microgreen

Febriansah Candra Wijaya, Riky Dwi Puriyanto

Abstract


Microgreens are a specific type of vegetable that has gained tremendous popularity in industrialized countries due to their higher nutrient and vitamin content compared to commonly grown foods. However, in Indonesia, microgreen plants are not yet widely recognized within the broader community. Agriculture plays a crucial role in an agrarian country like Indonesia. However, in certain regions, farmers have not fully embraced modern technology for land cultivation, irrigation management, and increasing crop yields.his research utilizes Tsukamoto's Fuzzy Logic method and incorporates a stepper motor as a nozzle driver for automatic watering in a mini greenhouse. The study employs sensors such as soil moisture sensors to measure and control soil moisture levels, as well as water flow sensors to monitor water discharge. The use of a soil moisture sensor enables precise control over soil moisture, ensuring optimal conditions for microgreen cultivation. The results of this study indicate an error value of 0.7% in sensor calibration and a 90% success rate in planting microgreens using this tool. The high success rate can be attributed to the ideal humidity levels maintained in the majority of the planting media, ranging from 45% to 65%.
