One of the most profitable agricultural commodities is eggplant. Eggplants also need to be large enough to be eaten as vegetables or vegetables. Eggplant farmers in Indonesia often experience crop failure problems due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers, which make the soil acidic and harmful to the environment. Efforts to help the growth and development of eggplants by using compost. The focus of the research is to determine the effectiveness of various compost fertilizers on the growth and production of eggplant plants. It was carried out from July-September 2023 in Sidorejo Village, Langsa Lama District, Langsa City. In this study, a Non-Factorial Group Random Design (RAK) was used. The observed factor is various compost fertilizers, which consist of 11 composts with 1 variety of Mustang F1 eggplant which is repeated 3 times. The results showed that the treatment of various types of compost fertilizers had a real effect on the plant height parameters of 15 HST and stem diameter of 45 HST. However, it had an insignificant effect on the parameters of average fruit weight, fruit weight, number of fruit planted, average fruit size and production per hectare at harvest time. The benefits of this research are improving the quality of soil fertility, plants becoming fertile, and improving plant quality and productivity. The best result was obtained from K8 (gamal leaf compost), but it was as good as K7 (petai leaf compost). The application of compost fertilizer is effective for all parameters of eggplant plants, except for the treatment of K5 (bagasse compost) because the average value is below 100%, the most effective compost fertilizer is obtained in the treatment of K8 (gamal leaf compost), but it is as good as K4 (straw compost) and K7 (petai leaf compost). To cultivate eggplant plants, it is recommended to use gamal leaf compost, straw compost, petai leaf compost.

Durian is one of the leading fruit commodities with high economic value in various tropical regions, including Indonesia. However, the durian cultivation process often faces challenges related to unstable environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, soil moisture, and nutritional deficiencies which can affect the level of plant fertility and the quality of the fruit produced. Therefore, an effective and efficient monitoring system is needed to optimize durian plant care. This research aims to develop a fertility monitoring system for durian trees using Internet of Things (IoT) technology which can help farmers manage the environmental conditions of plants in real-time. The designed system uses various sensors, such as soil moisture sensors, air temperature and humidity sensors, light intensity sensors, and soil nutrient sensors, to collect relevant environmental data. The data obtained from these sensors is then processed by a microcontroller and sent via the IoT network to a cloud-based storage platform. The trial results show that this system can monitor environmental conditions with high accuracy and provide appropriate maintenance recommendations, thereby increasing efficiency in managing durian plants.

This research aims to design and build a tool for detecting and repelling pests on kale plants using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) based pesticide liquid which can be controlled via the Telegram application. This system works by detecting the movement of pests using a PIR sensor, which then activates the mechanism for automatically spraying pesticide liquid to repel pests. Users can monitor and control this tool in real-time via Telegram, providing flexibility in plant monitoring. Data from sensors is sent to the IoT platform and integrated with Telegram to provide remote notifications and control. Test results show that this tool can detect the presence of pests with high accuracy and is effective in repelling pests from the kale plant area. It is hoped that the implementation of this tool can help farmers maintain the quality and quantity of their kale harvest in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

The Farmer Card Program is the latest Government program implemented in all regions with the aim of redeeming the purchase of subsidized fertilizers in an effort to improve the welfare of farmers in accordance with Presidential Regulation No. 77 of 2005 concerning the Determination of Subsidized Fertilizers as Goods in Supervision as amended by Presidential Regulation No. 15 of 2011 concerning Changes in the Determination of Subsidized Fertilizers as Goods Under Supervision.

Tomatoes are plants that were first discovered in South America, closely related to eggplant, potatoes and peppers. Tomato is a fruit that has an attractive red color and is rich in vitamins such as vitamin C. So it is not wrong if tomatoes are very useful for maintaining the body's immune system. Each 100 grams of tomatoes contains 20 calories of calories, 1 gram of protein, 0.3 grams of fat, 4.2 grams of carbohydrates, 5 milligrams of calcium, carotene (vitamin A) 1500 SI, thiamin (vitamin B) 60 micrograms, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). ) 40 milligrams, phosphorus 27 milligrams, iron 0.5 milligrams, potassium 360 milligrams. Tomatoes are also vegetables or ingredients for cooking that are sought after by people to meet their daily needs. This makes the supply of tomatoes from farmers is always in shortage. The lack of supply of tomatoes in the market is caused by a decrease in tomato production or yields. This decrease in production was caused by several obstacles, one of the obstacles that caused crop failure was due to disease. Disease attacks on tomato plants can occur from planting to harvest. Diseases that often attack penicillin plants are sptoria leaf spot, anthracnose fruit bud, fusarium and verticium wilt, brown spot and late blight. Therefore, to handle this, of course, sufficient knowledge is needed to deal with and deal with pests and diseases in tomato plants appropriately. To overcome this, it is necessary to build a system that can diagnose diseases in tomato plants. So that farmers are able to overcome and deal with pests and diseases on tomato plants appropriately. Researchers have done a lot of research by building an expert system to diagnose a disease. With the results of research, an expert system is designed to assist farmers and agricultural extension workers in detecting diseases in soybean and rice plants. From the results of tests that have been carried out using an expert system, 14 different cases in the field are then cross-checked with the results of expert analysis and have a suitability of 93%.
