Development of Portable Solar Fertigation System
摘要
Portable solar fertilization devices offer numerous benefits in agricultural systems, including cost reduction and increased efficiency. The proposed development utilizes solar energy to power fertigation systems, making them ideal for gardens, farms, and agricultural settings. The fertilization process involves using a liquid drop system that ensures plants efficiently absorb the available nutrients. A 12 V solar panel converts solar energy into electrical power, which is stored in a battery for later use. By utilizing timers, the fertigation system can be activated at specific times each day, further streamlining operations. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept has revolutionized farming practices. Real-time monitoring and control of the pump, facilitated through the IoT, enhance water usage efficiency, and enable convenient farming operations. A portable and eco-friendly water pump, powered by a solar panel, can be controlled remotely using a mobile application that also provides environmental monitoring. Temperature and humidity sensors measure air conditions, while a soil moisture sensor detects changes in moisture levels, alerting the system to the need for fertilization. The rain sensor module detects raindrops and measures intensity, ensuring that plants are not overwatered during the rainy season. The system incorporates Blynk software, which displays temperature and humidity conditions and enables remote control of the fertilization system via Wi-Fi communication. Using this efficient fertilizer system, it would help small and medium sized farm owners to manage and monitor their farm easily using a remotely controlled solar powered fertigation system.
