Soil Saturation Level Monitoring in Strawberry Plants for Automatizing Grikulan Watering

Abstract

Strawberry is a subtropical fruit that thrives in Indonesia with soil as its growing media. Soil treatment becomes essential for strawberry farmers, in which the soil has a saturation nature and clump due to routine watering activity. The farmers do watering Grikulan fertilizer as a recovery step to improve soil quality. This study develops a system in the Android software or mobile application that can monitor the level of soil saturation in strawberry plants with output is the information of soil saturation indication based on the results of calculations using Fuzzy Inference System Mamdani method. The application can be connected with the actuator to water Grikulan fertilizer to give order automation. This research produces a feasibility value of 90.14% through the testing of R Validation.
