Deployment of a Modern Sustainable Agricultural System Based on Drip Irrigation and Organic Liquid Fertilization in Patemon Village

Abstract

In this era, technological advancements in agriculture are burgeoning rapidly. Despite widespread adoption, traditional practices persist in many regions, as exemplified by Patemon Village, where farmers rely on manual irrigation and fertilization. Additionally, synthetic pesticides continue to be widely used due to their perceived speed and efficacy in addressing pest issues. However, synthetic pesticides have drawbacks such as pest resistance, the killing of natural predators, environmental pollution issues, and are extremely hazardous to human health. This research aims to develop a systematic irrigation and fertilization system that assists farmers in optimizing their time and energy while minimizing wastewater usage and promoting the adoption of liquid organic fertilizers that support higher-quality and environmentally friendly agriculture. The design of the automated irrigation and fertilization system utilizes a drip irrigation system. The liquid organic fertilizer produced utilizes natural resources from plants and animal waste. The outcome of this program is the implementation of modern farming practices with automated irrigation and fertilization, as well as the use of environmentally friendly liquid organic fertilizers.
