Abstract

The technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) is advancing and being implemented in a variety of sectors, including agriculture. The Sadar Tani farmer group's automatic plant watering system for maize plants is the focus of this research, which investigates the application of IoT technology. The primary controller of this system is an Arduino device, which is connected to a communication module and soil moisture sensor to transmit data in real-time. The water pump is automatically activated to irrigate the plants until the humidity level returns to normal when the soil moisture level falls below the specified limit. This implementation has yielded enhanced corn plant health, reduced farmer workload, and increased water use efficiency. Furthermore, this system enables the remote surveillance of crop conditions, which offers supplementary advantages in the management of larger agricultural lands. As a result, the implementation of IoT technology offers a viable solution to the issue of watering plants on expansive agricultural land, in addition to promoting precision agriculture that is more environmentally favorable and sustainable. This research has the potential to serve as a reference for future development in the application of similar technology to other crops and the enhancement of features to optimize agricultural yields.

Abstract

Lake Toba features a diverse array of geological landscapes and rock formations, alongside globally acknowledged cultural and biological variety. The geological diversity of the Lake Toba caldera possesses significant Geological Heritage value. This region possesses significant potential as a premier tourism destination and merits inclusion in a worldwide geopark. A survey in Silahisabungan District identified desolate, landslide-prone regions along the shores of Lake Toba that remain uncultivated. Simultaneously, a significant portion of the region is allocated for ecotourism. Should the tourist site suffer escalating degradation owing to desolation, it is anticipated that the influx of visitors to the Silahisabungan region will likewise diminish. If the community's economic revenue relies exclusively on the tourism industry, the economy would undoubtedly face challenges; therefore, economic income must be derived from several sectors. Consequently, the region urgently requires the implementation of tree planting initiatives, particularly including 1,500 productive tree types. Productive tree seedlings will be cultivated in five villages: Paropo, Paropo I, Silalahi I, Silalahi II, and Silalahi III, located in the Silahisabungan District of Dairi Regency, North Sumatra. The tree planting initiatives are anticipated to yield economic benefits for the community through fruit harvests. This planting initiative would enhance the local economy while reforesting desolate area, hence drawing tourists to Silahisabungan.
