Abstract

It can provide abundant and accurate real-time growth environment information, such as air humidity temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, crop yield, crop fruit quality, pH value and other information, which is a necessary prerequisite to promote precision agriculture and improve agricultural output. To obtain this information by monitoring crops with a variety of different and modern sensors is the key to the observation of differences in the growing environment and growth parameters of crops, so as to realize the great project of precision agriculture. This paper aims at studying how to collect the growing environment and the growing parameters of crops by wireless communication monitoring system, which is an important subject at present. In this experiment, sensors with different monitoring functions were placed in the experimental range, and then the wireless communication monitoring system was connected to monitor the climate change that could not be directly observed by human, such as temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, soil moisture content and other crop growth environment data. The experimental data showed that the data measured by professional manual and wireless communication monitoring system only existed within the allowable error range, but did not have a large range of error. The manual and wireless communication monitoring data are compared 24 hours a day, which also proves that the wireless communication can guarantee the accuracy all the time. Experiments on different kinds of crops also provide experimental data within the range of error. The experimental data show that the application of wireless communication technology to crops can not only reduce the labor intensity of farmers by more than 66%, but also reduce the production cost by 45%, reduce the complicated work of wiring, and improve the level of intelligent agricultural production in China, which has certain research value and practical significance.
