Abstract
Rice farming is a strategic sector in supporting national food security. However, rice productivity is often threatened by brown planthopper infestations, which cause significant crop damage. Conventional pest control approaches, such as pesticide spraying, have various limitations, including negative impacts on the environment and farmers’ health. Therefore, environmentally friendly and efficient technological innovations are needed to address this issue. This study aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based brown planthopper trap device integrated with a Solar Power Plant (PV system) as an independent energy source in rice fields. The system is designed to monitor and capture pests automatically, as well as transmit real-time pest attack data via wireless networks to user devices or a control center. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), which includes the following stages: problem identification, device design, prototype development, functional testing, and field performance evaluation. The prototype will be tested in rice field areas to assess its effectiveness in trapping pests and the efficiency of energy consumption from the PV system. Evaluations are also conducted on data transmission quality and the reliability of the IoT system in open environments. The test results show that the system operates as designed. The inverter output voltage is relatively stable at 225-227 V, pump current is recorded between 0.6-0.9 A, electrical power ranges from 126-176 W, and the total daily energy consumption is 2.3 Wh. The low energy consumption demonstrates that this system can operate effectively solely with supply from the PV system.
