Published: 2022-12-20

Abstract

In righteous book of Al-Quran, water is mentioned as the main source for life survival epecially for the plant’s growth in the earth. Providing enough water in plants like a chilli pepper (Capsicum annum L.) at the appropriate times is among the most crucial components of chilli cultivation. Growing chilli, on the other hand, takes a significant investment of time, effort, and physical work. It also calls for a great deal of attention and care, in addition to an appropriate supply of water and nutrients. Existing methods for example semi-automated system that uses a scheduler for fertigation, have significant limits. These shortcomings may be discovered in the exiting technique. The constraints include the need for human involvement, which is bothtime-consuming and expensive, and the fact that the method somehow does not take into consideration environmental or soil conditions. As a result, its resource management and chilli production become less efficient as a result of this. In order to get over this challenge, this paper review was suggested involvement of automated monitoring system in chilli production. The automated monitoring systems in chilli fertigation system need cutting-edge technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT), together with the backing of dependable communication technology. The constant sensor readings that are obtained, together with the automated system for fertiliser application and watering system that were based on the actual soil and nutrient range data, which resulted improvement in effectiveness of the water and nutrients management in chilli production. As a result, the use automated monitoring system and the data analysis is intended to cut down on the amount of cost, energy, and manual effort required in order to assist chilli producers in increasing their crop yields.
