Abstract:

The study aimed to design a device that deals with aerial application. Specifically, this study sought to address the following issues: (a) the capacity of the motor pump to pump out liquids in banana plantations, (b) the functionality of the moisture sensor in detecting soil that needs to be watered, and (c) the maintenance of the device.

To establish the functionality of the device, experimental development and descriptive approach were applied through the assessment of five purposively chosen evaluators composed of technician, electronics engineer, and employees from Marsman-Drysdale Banana Plantation and AMS Plantation.

The findings showed that the device was efficient in its ability to pump water at a large field and its ability to drive liquids using motor pump. The efficiency in maintaining the device was also proven.
