Development of Web System for Estimating Environmental Features of Farmland

Abstract

Since a number of farmers has been decreasing in recent years, shortage of work force became one of the most serious problems for many farmhouses. In order to solve this problem, it is important to develop an effective system to support farmer's works. Thus, in this research, we construct a base system for realizing an automatic control of environment of farmlands. In our experiment, crops are cultivated in plastic greenhouse equipped with some sensors for observation about the environmental data. The environmental data is continuously stored to a server system, and the data is analyzed in order to extract environmental features of farmland by using a Web system which was constructed by our research.
