Integrated soil nutrient analysis and fertilizer recommendation device for modern crop farming at Barangay Rumagayray, San Enrique, Iloilo

Abstract

This study addresses challenges faced by Filipino farmers in optimizing soil fertilizer application, which impacts crop growth and economic resources. Traditional methods are time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies, hindering efficient fertilizer use. To overcome these obstacles, researchers developed a device and mobile app tailored to local farming needs. The research explores the agricultural landscape in the Philippines, emphasizing the importance of fertilizer application. By integrating modern technologies like Arduino Uno and NPKpH sensors, the solution provides real-time soil nutrient data and personalized fertilizer recommendations. This innovative approach offers convenience, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, empowering farmers to make informed decisions. Through rigorous research and technology integration, the solution enhances soil fertility management, leading to improved crop yields, sustainability, and economic growth in Filipino farming communities.
