Abstract

Plants have the ability to create their own food through the use of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. The benefits that we can take advantage of from a plant are as herbal medicine, food ingredients, and can also produce oxygen which is useful for the survival of mankind. The purpose of this study was to design a tool for providing nutrition to hydroponic plants using catfish manure, to design a tool to cut plants in an automatic way, and to design a tool to replace sunlight for plants that can photosynthesize. This designed tool is based on the Arduino microcontroller. For automatic cutting, the HC-SR04 sensor will be used to determine the height of the plant with the help of a dc motor for the cutter and a stepper motor to drive the sensor.
