<![CDATA[Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the kitchen spices with a distinctive aroma and economic value and has the opportunity to be developed because of the many ingredients that are beneficial to health. Garlic can grow in the highlands and lowlands; the altitude is about 200-250 meters above sea level. It was recorded that throughout 2019 in Indonesia, total imports of garlic reached a value of USD 529.9 million or around 465,344 tonnes. The import value is still high enough to allow sustainable agricultural innovation to be carried out independently, because the use of agricultural land is increasingly limited and does not vary, and is also the main problem of sustainable agriculture. Limited land conditions are also one of the factors for decreasing garlic productivity, and the low productivity of garlic is also caused by the application of cultivation techniques that are not suitable for agricultural land conditions and the surrounding climate because garlic is more often planted in upland conditions. This study provides a smart irrigation system management design which is named “Mr. Rytem” which is integrated between sensors in agricultural land and automation by IoT. The design of "Mr. Rytem" provides a solution for garlic farming in lowland conditions by utilizing new renewable energy sources that come from solar energy. The system offers smart irrigation support to farmers in garlic farming, namely effective fogging discharge, the width of fogging discharge, droplet diameter, droplet density. It can be implemented in the future for efficient garlic farming.]]>
