520 _aFarming remains a vital part of the Philippine economy, yet many farmers, particularly in rural areas, rely on labor-intensive and imprecise manual sowing methods. To address these challenges, the researchers developed an automated seed sowing machine with an integrated water sprinkler system, real-time monitoring via an ESP32 Wi-Fi module, and remote-control functionality powered by solar energy. This system aims to enhance precision, reduce labor demands, and increase efficiency in small- to medium-scale farming operations. The researchers employed a prototyping approach to design, develop, and test the system, comparing its performance to traditional sowing methods using a paired t-test. The system was evaluated based on ISO 25010:2011 standards in terms of Usability, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Portability, and Reliability. Results showed that the automated system significantly outperformed manual methods in terms of planting precision and timeliness, enhancing planting speed while reducing resource wastage. Respondents rated the system as "excellent" across all evaluation criteria, with an overall assessment score of x̅=4.85. This innovation supports farmers by modernizing agricultural practices and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) 2 (Zero Hunger) and UN SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). It contributes to sustainable food production, improved resource management, and enhanced agricultural productivity, benefiting local farming communities and addressing global challenges in sustainable agriculture.
