Design And Implementation Of Environmental Monitoring System For Facility Agriculture

Facility agriculture is a kind of modern agricultural production technology, which uses artificial technology to intervene the environment, so that the crop growth environment is under the control of the agricultural workers. Facility agriculture economy products including crop planting, edible or commercial breeding fungi, it is the main technical measures to provide fresh agricultural products in worldwide, it has the advantage in cultivate fast-growing, high quality, high quantity and other agricultural economic products. The development of facility agriculture is not only the objective requirement of the current agricultural and rural economic development, but also the effective means to promote the development of agriculture and enhance the capacity of agricultural production. As a means of regulating the production process of the crop growth environment, the monitoring of the growth mode and environmental parameters is the key to the development of facility agriculture. It is important to get soil information and factors. The traditional way of information collection is mainly by manual. But if there’s need for overall farmland information, crop growth and realization of remote environment information monitoring equipment, remote control and real-time online query and information services, only to rely on experience and laboratory analysis, manual collection is unable to satisfy the requirements of agricultural facilities. China’s modern facilities and agriculture is in a stage of rapid development, the level of information technology and promotion are both has a great improvement. However, there are still many problems to be solved in the control of environmental factors, the specific combination of system and agriculture. In addition, the high cost of environmental monitoring equipment, and the low stability of the system cannot accurately reflect the status of facility agriculture. And these problems in monitor crop production and management also became a great barrier in the development of agricultural informatization.This paper mainly expounds the establishment of monitoring system for environmental factors of facility agriculture and the related functions realization under the guiding ideology of modern agriculture and the demand of facility agriculture. The main content of this paper are system needs analysis, system overall design and system function realization and so on. The system uses C# as the development language, use Studio Visual 2008 as the basic development tool and SQLServer2008 as the data base. Combined with Arc Engine SDK to operate the secondary development. The main function modules of software design are authority management module, data processing module, view operation module, monitoring and early warning module, spatial interpolation analysis module. Every module was run automomously to enhance the security and reliability of the system. This feature allows the technicians to operate on the system and the related maintenance more expediently and efficiently. The system is combined with Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the spatial interpolation of the collected data, and make space interpolation based on environmental factors. Not only could it enable the technicians to get the environmental data more accurate, intuitive and efficient, but also could use the data obtained to make the relevant forecast adjust the soil nutrients or environment factors in related areas, and adjust crop planting and production layout structure in time.Environmental monitoring system for facility agriculture has advantages in convenient, efficient, stable, low cost, comprehensive functions and so on. The system has friendly interface, easy to use, and can reach the requirement of environmental monitoring of facility agriculture.
