This paper presents the design and implementation of an automatic irrigation system that optimizes water delivery based on real-time soil moisture levels, addressing water scarcity and inefficiencies in traditional irrigation methods. The system integrates a YL-69 soil moisture sensor, an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller, and a Leo water pump to irrigate a 2500 m² rice field. The system activates the pump when soil moisture falls below 10% and deactivates it when moisture exceeds 80%, maintaining optimal soil conditions (50–70%) for crop growth. The methodology includes sensor calibration, circuit design using Fritzing, and field testing to evaluate system performance. Results demonstrate effective water management, with the system reducing water wastage by approximately 40% compared to manual irrigation, enhancing crop productivity, and minimizing environmental impact. This affordable and scalable solution is particularly suitable for smallholder farmers in rural areas, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices amidst climate change challenges.

The developed automatic irrigation system, utilizing a YL-69 soil moisture sensor and Arduino Uno, provides an efficient and sustainable solution for water management in agriculture.By automating irrigation based on real-time soil moisture data, the system reduces water wastage, enhances crop productivity, and alleviates labor demands for farmers.Its affordability and scalability make it suitable for rural settings, contributing to sustainable farming practices.

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengintegrasikan sumber energi terbarukan, seperti panel surya, ke dalam sistem irigasi otomatis ini guna mengurangi ketergantungan pada sumber listrik konvensional dan meningkatkan keberlanjutan sistem. Selain itu, pengembangan sistem yang mampu memprediksi kebutuhan air berdasarkan data cuaca dan jenis tanaman tertentu dapat meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan air secara signifikan. Terakhir, studi mengenai penerimaan dan dampak sosial-ekonomi dari penerapan sistem irigasi otomatis ini terhadap petani kecil perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan adopsi teknologi yang berkelanjutan dan inklusif, serta mengidentifikasi potensi pelatihan dan dukungan yang dibutuhkan oleh petani.
