| Summary: | Palm oil is one of the most widely produced commodities in Indonesia. As a large
commodity, optimum production from plantation is an important factor and has the
potential to generate huge profits as well. Optimal production is certainly influenced
by the fertilization of the oil palm plant itself. But as of now, fertilization relies on
laboratory tests that are time consuming, expensive, and several physical variables
that cannot be observed. This problem was the origin of the idea for a tool that could
take in-situ measurements directly on oil palm plantations and provide farmers with
fertilizer recommendations so that oil palm plants can grow and produce optimal
results. To facilitate enforcement in large areas, of course, sending data wirelessly
can help monitoring and enforcement quickly without the need to explore the vast
area of plantations. Therefore, GPRS data transmission can simplify the monitoring
process, knowing the availability of certain facilities around the oil palm area
concerned. With minimal electricity supply in the field, independent resources are
the main source of products. Therefore, power management is very important for
the lifespan of the tool. |
