Abstract
Aeroponics method is one of many ways of cultivating plants without using the soil.
Aeroponics is generally used for cultivating of vegetable crops such as kangkong. In this
method, the roots are placed in the floating position. The nutrient solution is supplied to the
roots with fogging technic using sprayer that connected to the water pump. Generally,
nutrients supply using timer system. But, it is not very effective. Therefore, the new system
are designed to control nutrient supply based on the needs of plants. In this system, the
parameters are humidity and temperature. The value of humidity and temperature from the
DHT 22 sensor would be an input for fuzzy logic. Then, it was processed by microcontroller.
The output value from microcontroller in time unit would activate the water pump to supply
nutrients solution to the root. This system also had data logger, so the data from
microcontroller could be saved. This device was able to work to supply nutrient solution for
kangkong, with temperature set point 33oC and temperature error is 3.32%-5.28%.
