Abstract-The Soil waste is a common problem in banana agriculture, which results in low yields and high mortality rates. In order to ensure healthy plant growth, this study presents an automated hot water treatment system for banana suckers. It is intended to eradicate pests and diseases prior to planting. The suckers are effectively disinfected by the system’s regulated hot water treatment procedure, which keeps the temperature at 52°C for 30 minutes. The risk of over- or under-treatment is decreased by automated elements that precisely manage the water temperature, such as a temperature sensor and relay module. By lowering the need for chemical pesticides, this technique encourages sustainable farming and makes banana agriculture more environmentally friendly. In addition to improving plant health, the technique increases the likelihood that suckers will successfully establish themselves in the soil, resulting in stronger plants and increased crop yields. The method ensures ideal growing conditions for banana suckers while promoting ecologically conscious practices by doing away with the usage of hazardous chemicals. In the end, healthier crops and increased agricultural productivity result from the development of this automated system, which provides a practical and efficient answer to the difficulties associated with banana farming.
