Agricultural IOT sensors in greenhouses application

Application of agricultural IOT sensors in greenhouses

At present, the most commonly used in greenhouse are temperature and humidity sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, light level sensors, soil nutrient sensors, etc.

With the development of modern technology, agricultural farming is becoming easier. Nowadays, agricultural irrigation and fertilization can be done easily with the help of cell phones and computers.

Application of agricultural IOT sensors in greenhouse:

Growers check the growth of vegetables in the greenhouse on their cell phones. In this greenhouse, temperature and humidity sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, and soil moisture sensors are installed to collect the environmental conditions of the greenhouse. The collected data will be compared with the crop suitable conditions, and then it can be adjusted by the control system. In addition to manual operation, parameters can be set to the point that when the indoor temperature is too high, the roller shutter can be automatically opened for cooling.

Carbon dioxide sensor

Carbon dioxide is a necessary condition for crop production, and a reasonable concentration of carbon dioxide facilitates photosynthesis of crops. In the greenhouse, carbon dioxide concentration is collected by carbon dioxide sensors, and the control system replenishes and discharges carbon dioxide in a timely manner, so that the crops can reach the optimum concentration.

Greenhouse temperature sensor

The change of temperature directly affects the respiration, transpiration and other physiological effects of plants. It is understood that plants in general grow faster with rising temperature in the temperature range of 0 to 35 degrees Celsius, and slow down with lower temperature. Traditional crop production relies entirely on sunlight and is greatly influenced by the weather.

In today's greenhouses, many growers use light level sensors to detect and control light intensity. Artificial light sources are supplemented by plant fill lights so that all crops can receive appropriate light.

In addition, in order to do a good job of monitoring the growth of crops, agricultural high-tech enterprises, but also developed fruit expansion sensors, crop stalk micro-change sensors, leaf temperature sensors, etc., so that crop cultivation becomes more accurate and efficient.

The development of intelligent agricultural technology has enabled farmers to gradually get rid of relying on nature and being constrained by nature's influence.
