dc.description.abstractAgriculture is one of important sector that use wireless sensor network (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT) concept to improve the crops production, intruder prevention, monitoring and crops profitability. WSN is able monitor the progress of the crops and provide real time data to the farmers without going to scene. Improper water management is major problem that faced by this industry due lack of advanced management and maintenance. Thus, it also can lead to depletion of water resources for human and organisms. The purpose of this experiment is to set up and use of the plan real time monitoring using Internet of Things and to study the plant growth affecting by the variables of growth. Plants that have been studied are onion bulbs. Many sensors have been used in this experiment such as temperature and humidity sensor, light sensor and soil moisture sensor to measure the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air, the light resistance and the water content in the soil. These sensors are connected to raspberry pi that acts as gateway for data collection. When soil moisture level is below than 20 %, the pump will automatically start to pump the water for the plant. It will stop when the soil moisture level reaches up to 40 %. Condition of temperature and humidity of air can affect the growth of the plant. If the humidity is too low, more water in the soil will evaporate to the environment. The ideal range of humidity level for vegetable growth is between 50 % to 70 %. Sufficient of light and water need to be provided for the plant to increase its height. Image processing was used in this system in order to distinguish the plant growth in each day. By having reliable system that use IoT concept, it can provide the best condition for healthy plants. Growth rate for plants with automatic monitoring is higher than plant without automatic monitoring. These plants received sufficient amount of light and water every day to stimulate their growth efficiently. Hence, the daily increment of height of plants also increased. While plant without automatic monitoring got limited of sunlight because it only got light in day light. This will result to low growth rate for this plant. Thus, its watering schedule is not relied to soil moisture level.en_US
