A Universal Web-Based Simulation System for Greenhouse Crops

Abstract

Referred to a process based model, with Web development tool and advanced object-oriented approach, a universal Web-based simulation system for greenhouse crops was developed, it can be accessed by users in different places by Internet exploring, which provides much convenient way to simulate the growth of greenhouse crops such as tomato, cucumber, etc. With the Web-based model, optimal environmental parameters in greenhouse can be estimated through the simulating system, and countermeasures of environment control and management for the greenhouse can be made more precisely according to these calculation.
