To build ubiquitous agriculture environment successfully, development of core technology for agriculture, such as sensor node H/W, sensor node middleware platform, routing protocol and agricultural environment application service is essential. With the application of u-IT technologies to traditional agriculture area, fusion complex technologies become a source to raise value-added agriculture product and its productivity. However, it is imperative to expand horticulture industry area and improve infrastructure for utility-based horticulture. This paper proposes an agriculture product growth environment management system that utilizes environmental factor monitoring sensors and biological information sensors in greenhouse to specifically manage botany growth environment management.

Recently, long-term cultivation is becoming more common with the increase in tomato hydroponics. In hydroponics, it is very important to supply an appropriate nutrient solution considering the nutrient and moisture requirements of crops, in terms of productivity, resource use, and environmental conservation. Since seasonal environmental changes appear severely in long-term cultivation, it is so critical to manage irrigation control considering these changes. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of irrigation volume on growth and yield in tomato long-term cultivation using coir substrate. The irrigation volume was adjusted at 4 levels (high, medium high, medium low and low) by different irrigation frequency. Irrigation scheduling (frequency) was controlled based on solar radiation which measured by radiation sensor installed outside the greenhouse and performed whenever accumulated solar radiation energy reached set value. Set value of integrated solar radiation was changed by the growing season. The results revealed that the higher irrigation volume caused the higher drainage rate, which could prevent the EC of drainage from rising excessively. As the cultivation period elapsed, the EC of the drainage increased. And the lower irrigation volume supplied, the more the increase in EC of the drainage. Plant length was shorter in the low irrigation volume treatment compared to the other treatments. But irrigation volume did not affect the number of nodes and fruit clusters. The number of fruit settings was not significantly affected by the irrigation volume in general, but high irrigation volume significantly decreased fruit setting and yield of the 12-15th cluster developed during low temperature period. Blossom-end rot occurred early with a high incidence rate in the low irrigation volume treatment group. The highest weight fruits was obtained from the high irrigation treatment group, while the medium high treatment group had the highest total yield. As a result of the experiment, it could be confirmed the effect of irrigation amount on the nutrient and moisture stabilization in the root zone and yield, in addition to the importance of proper irrigation control when cultivating tomato plants hydroponically using coir substrate. Therefore, it is necessary to continue the research on this topic, as it is judged that the precise irrigation control algorithm based on root zone-information applied to the integrated environmental control system, will contribute to the improvement of crop productivity as well as the development of hydroponics control techniques.

In this paper, we intend to develop a control system that can apply the developed vertical stirring heater to the facility house and control the other facilities (circulating fan, ventilation fan, window using a switching motor, ceiling, and dehumidification). Through this, it is intended to increase the cultivation efficiency of crops and improve storage environment of crops held by non-heated storage or storage warehouses to increase the storage period and freshness. In addition, ICT monitoring technology is added to enable users to easily solve problems when there is a problem due to changes in the cultivation and storage environment with Real Time Control (RTC).

현대화된 재배법은 작물의 생육을 위해 시설내부의 환경을 제어하고 실시간 센싱 정보를 저장하는 시스템을 구축하고 이를 활용하고 있으나, 작물의 생육·생장에 미치는 직접적인 영향에 대한 생육데이터 취득은 아직까지도 전문 재배사·농민이 수작업을 통해 조사되고 있다. 본 연구는 작물의 생육데이터 자동 취득을 위한 장치를 개발하고 이를 실용화하기 위한 정확도 측정 시험을 진행하였다. 실험을 위한 장치구성은 3D Depth 카메라(Intel D415)와 운용 PC이며 딥러닝 모델을 이용하여 작물의 세부기관을 자동으로 인식하는 모델을 포함한다. 장치는 다양한 재배환경의 작물 생육데이터 취득을 위하여 휴대용, 고정형, 로봇형 3가지 유형으로 개발하였고 측정 정확도 검증은 휴대용 생육측정장치를 활용하여 조사하였다. 이러한 연구를 통해 수작업이 아닌 영상에 의한 생육 데이터수집으로 작물의 생육정보(측정값+이미지)를 확보함으로써 환경데이터와 함께 객관적인 정보에 의한 작물의 생산량, 수확시기 등을 예측하는데 활용될 수 있을것으로 예상된다.

Discharge variations of perforated hose and drip irrigation systems were examined to evaluate irrigation uniformity at different pressures and length of branch line. Evaluation using statistical uniformity indicated that button drippers performed at excellent level but drip tapes and drip hoses were a little lower level. Nominal discharge of drip irrigation systems showed at the high side within the range of regulating pressure provided by the manufacturer. It is desirable that the length of branch line for drip hose, drip tape, and button dripper should be limited to 50 m, 70 m, and 100 m, respectively. Irrigation uniformity of perforated hoses showed very low level. So it is recommended that the length of branch line for perforated hoses should be limited to $30{\sim}35m$.

최근 육묘 시설의 양적 증가와 육묘 기술 수준의 향상에 힘입어 플러그 묘의 보급이 확대되고 있다. 더구나 육묘와 재배의 분업화가 진행되고, 고품질 묘의 안정된 수급에 대한 관심이 늘어나면서 육묘 산업에 대한 비중이 점차 증가하고 있다. 현재 국내에 설치되어 있는 온실, 터널 등의 모든 육묘 시설은 개방형 묘생산 시스템으로 자연광을 이용한 장점을 지니고 있으나, 여름철의 냉방과 겨울철의 난방에 소요되는 비용은 상당한 수준에 이르고 있다. 더구나 외부 기상조건과 밀접한 관계를 이루며 변화하는 특성을 가지고 있어 효율적인 환경제어를 위하여 차광과 보온 등의 시설이 필요하며(이 등, 1995), 관리노력이 적지 않게 요구되고 있다.

In many recent studies, a variety of environmental control system for practical gardening facilities such as facility house and plant factory have been proposed. However, the plants have been exposed to growth disorder and disease and pest injury because the temperature and humidity have not properly controlled so far. Therefore, a lot of damage of farmers have been reported. The air circulation fan and industrial dehumidifier have been currently utilized as the countermeasures, but they do not meet the expectation. In this study, the growth phase of each plant is recognized by using cycle-by-cycle plants growth recogniztion algorithm to provide optimal environment according to the growth phases of each plant.he productivity can be raised by using cycle-by-cycle plant growth recognition monitoring system because it optimally controls the environment by cycle that is required for plant growth.

Recently, it is expected that the agricultural and stockbreeding industry are damaged by the China-Japan-South Korea FTA and FTA between the United States and South Korea. After free trade, it is increasing to import crops, aquatic products, and livestock which are produced in a foreign land. But it is affected negatively to the trust relationships and markets, because of breaking it out that low grade foreign products are turned into domestic products. For this reason, we need the traceability management system. In this paper, it designs and implements the traceability management system using RFID and USN providing distribution traceability information as well as the traceability information of the growth environment, automatic control according to the facility growing and monitoring of the storehouse. The implemented whole systems consist of the growth environment monitoring and the traceability management. First, the growth environment monitoring shows the environment of plantation and automatic controller of the storehouse and growing facility. This growth environment monitoring information provides the detailed information about growth environment and writing the farming diary automatically by producer. Second, the traceability management provides all of the traceability information such as production, shipment and consumption to consumers. The traceability management system that has been designed and implemented using RFID and USN in this paper, provides the u-IT agriculture to producer and the reliability about agricultural products. In addition, this system provides the foundation data to operate GAP and HACCP, and becomes the advantaged agricultural products of the interior of a country by application of this system.
