| Summary, etc. |
The soil quality assessment is one of the most important challenges of sustainable<br/>agriculture and the development of a portable soil quality assessment device (PorSQAD)<br/>with monitoring system. It is a device having sensors that get soil parameters, including<br/>pH, N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus), and K (potassium), which are necessary for plant growth<br/>and agriculture production. The readings are shown on an inbuilt LCD screen as well as<br/>sent by a Bluetooth module to a simple mobile app created using MIT App Inventor. The<br/>app helps to visualize the data, analyze it, and recommend crop results for farmers and<br/>agronomists to make better and balanced farming decisions. Constraints of the traditional<br/>soil testing methods only limit their functionality to remote and resource-rich locations,<br/>requiring specialized laboratory processes that can take time and cost money; the<br/>PorSQAD system addresses these issues. It was ideally designed to utilize locally available<br/>technologies from the area, e.g., acrylic plastic for the casing, which doesn't need to be<br/>imported and makes it lightweight and portable for all kinds of field conditions. The soil<br/>testing device was rigorously tested for functionality, reliability, and usability, and found<br/>to be highly accurate and efficient. The device presents an innovative approach by<br/>incorporating current technology with agricultural practices to improve soil health<br/>management practices and increase crop yields without the excessive use of chemical<br/>fertilizers. Such a revolution would have to do with the novelty of this method for soil<br/>quality as such, promoting environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity.<br/>PorSQAD system equips farmers with real-time data and practical insights to take; bridging<br/>the divide between technology and sustainable agricultural practices. The evaluation on<br/>the performance of the developed prototype is based on the 5 criteria namely: functionality,<br/>reliability, workability, portability, and efficiency. The evaluation resulted with an overall<br/>mean of 4.47 with a descriptive rating of " Very Good." Based on the evaluation and<br/>findings, this study can potentially help the agriculture industry become more efficient in<br/>the production of high-quality crops produce.<br/><br/>Keyword: NPK, Soil pH, Soil, Crop, Portable, farmer, soil quality |
