Design And Build An Automatic Plant Sprinkler For A Farmer Group In Klino Village

Abstract

This volunteer work is being done in Klino Bojonegoro, more specifically
in the Bojonegoro and Madiun border region. By supplying IOT-based
automatic plant sprinklers for watering the local chrysanthemum
horticulture, this PKM activity serves to support farmer organizations in
the community. Chrysanthemum and rose picking excursions are one of
the tourist attractions in Klino Village, one of the tourist destinations in
Bojonegoro. The female farmer organization Blooming Sari is in charge
of managing the chrysanthemum cultivation (KTW). Using hoses and
padlocks, traditional watering procedures are still used, and they are
done in the morning and evening. The approach used in this program is to
have casual, one-on-one conversations with farmer groups, followed by
observations of field requirements and the creation of tools. The stages of
activities completed include site surveys, tool and material analysis, tool
creation, tool testing, socialization, monitoring, and PKM program
evaluation. This PKM activity resulted to the creation of an IOT-based,
smartphone-controllable automatic plant watering solution. There are a
number of challenges, including those in tool manufacturing that
necessitate numerous trials, pipe installation that requires pipes to match
the position point, network limitations, and others. This leads to the
conclusion that this PKM activity is effective, capable of resolving issues,
and perhaps a solution to the issues facing farmer groups in Klino
Bojonegoro village.
