Abstract:

The present practice in the Department of Agriculture 10 (DA 10) involved a conventional process of data collection in the farms, relying mainly on the farmer’s perception which causes inconsistency. Given the seen gap, this study on the Management Information System for Smart Agriculture (MISSA) Soil Sensing System was conducted. It is an approach to modernize the determination of the nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK) quality and pH level of soil samples qualitatively. The main objective of the study was to develop an integrated sensor prototype determining the NPK and pH which has a local database generating a geographical coordinate transmitted to a develop MISSA Portal. Soil samples were collected from selected farms in Tubigan, Initao, Misamis Oriental and analyzed qualitatively using the developed MISSA soil sensing prototype. Obtained results were comparable to the DA standard for soil tests.
