Development of Environment Monitoring System for Crop Growth Measurement

Abstract. Disease of crops is occurred by environment condition such as temperature, humidity, soil, illuminance. To prevent the disease of crops, it is necessary to monitor in real-time using an environment monitoring system. However, observe in real-time monitoring system is lack in korea. In this study, environment monitoring system consisted of outdoor temperature, humidity sensor, soil temperature, humidity sensor, GPS sensor. Monitoring system implemented controller using the Arduino. Real-time data was measured through the monitoring system in farmland. Performance evaluation of the monitoring system compared with KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) data. The results showed that using an environment monitoring measured data was similar to KMA data. Therefore, the monitoring system was possible to use in various places. Environment monitoring using a developed system is predicted to be prevention the disease of crops.
