Pengembangan Alat Pengusir Hama Burung dan Pengukur PH Tanah Otomatis Terintegrasi IoT Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Pertanian Kelompok Tani Mangunsari

Introduction

Pengembangan alat pengusir hama burung dan pengukur ph tanah otomatis terintegrasi iot untuk meningkatkan hasil pertanian kelompok tani mangunsari. Alat IoT pengusir hama burung & pengukur pH tanah otomatis untuk Kelompok Tani Mangunsari Semarang. Tingkatkan hasil pertanian, kontrol keasaman tanah, dan usir hama burung secara efisien.

Abstract

Kelompok Tani Ngambarsari terletak di Mangunsari Kota Semarang Jawa Tengah mengalami permasalahan pertanian yaitu serangan hama burung pipit dan ketidaksesuaian tingkat keasaman tanah. Solusi permasalahan ini berupa alat pengusir hama burung dengan sensor pH berbasis Internet of Things (IoT). Alat ini menggunakan energi surya dan diakses melalui aplikasi smartphone. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup pembentukan tim, survei, desain perancangan alat, pembuatan alat dan aplikasi, uji coba, pembuatan buku pedoman, sosialisasi, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam produktivitas pertanian. Alat ini dapat meningkatkan hasil panen gabah menjadi beras dari 55% menjadi 60% dalam 90 m2, dengan keuntungan 177,12 kg beras per 90m2 dibandingkan dengan kondisi sebelumnya. Implementasi sensor pH tanah pada alat ini membantu petani dalam mengelola pupuk dengan mengontrol tingkat keasaman tanah secara real-time.

Review

This abstract presents a highly relevant and innovative solution to two pressing agricultural problems: pest control and soil acidity management. The proposed integrated IoT system, leveraging solar power and smartphone access for automated bird deterrence and real-time pH measurement, demonstrates a commendable approach to enhancing farm productivity for the Ngambarsari farming group. The focus on practical application and the integration of modern technology to address specific local challenges are significant strengths, highlighting the potential for tangible improvements in smallholder farming communities. The methodology outlined, progressing from team formation and surveys to design, implementation, and evaluation, suggests a systematic and well-structured project. The reported results are particularly impactful and quantifiable. A significant increase in rice yield conversion from 55% to 60% and a net gain of 177.12 kg of rice per 90m² are strong indicators of the system's effectiveness. Furthermore, the ability to monitor soil pH in real-time empowers farmers to make more informed decisions regarding fertilizer application, which can lead to optimized resource use and improved crop health. While the abstract effectively conveys the project's success, a comprehensive review of the full paper would benefit from additional detail on several fronts. Further elaboration on the specific mechanisms employed for bird deterrence (e.g., types of sound, frequency, visual cues) would enhance understanding. A more robust discussion of the experimental design, including statistical significance of the productivity increase and the duration of the trial period, would strengthen the claims. Additionally, an in-depth analysis of the economic feasibility, scalability to larger farming areas, and long-term maintenance requirements for the device would provide crucial insights for wider adoption. Nevertheless, the abstract clearly outlines a promising and impactful technological intervention with demonstrable benefits for agricultural productivity.
