dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of Arduino-based Knapsack Urea Fertilizer Applicator. It has four sections which includes the tank assembly, dispenser mechanism assembly, control assembly, and wand assembly which helps to fast-track the manual application of urea fertilizer. The research design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and three replications. The treatments used were the different masses of urea fertilizer to be discharge by the fertilizer applicator. The Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) was used to test the significant difference between treatments. The results of the analysis revealed that the effective field capacity of the machine was 1.56m2/min and the application efficiency was 81.98%. The investment cost of the machine was ₱30,739. The economic analysis revealed that the investment cost could be recovered 509 with a break- even point of 119kg/year and 48.6% return on investment per year.
