Abstract
One factor that leads to excellence in terms of plant quality is how to treat plants well by giving the proper water, neither abundantly nor lacking. The weakness of farmers is their lack of routine in watering plants, coupled with lousy weather factors that will damage plants and the type of water used for watering plants. Monitoring is carried out on agricultural land in watersheds utilizing an irrigation system. This study monitors and conducts water pH, soil pH, and soil moisture using an Arduino Atmega 328p microcontroller with LoRa 915 MHz. Internet-based automation was carried out on plant monitoring using soil pH sensors, water pH, and soil moisture. The device used is Long Range Radio Frequency 915 MHz. One of the plants used for the experiment is Pakcoy. Water is distinguished by two containers that have been integrated with LoRa 915 MHz, and the water is ensured to have an average pH that is flowed to agricultural land automatically. The data is displayed in real-time in the application Server the Thingspeak IoT
