The Design of a Monitoring System Based on GPRS for Rice Production Environment

Abstract

This paper introduced a monitoring system of rice production, which can monitor the ambient temperature, humidity, the temperature of rice water and soil and Terrace surface runoff water in the process of rice production. All the testing data are firstly aggregated to a cluster node, and then transmitted to network datacenter through the GSM, so that users can access the datacenter server for the data related to the production environment. The monitoring system has been installed in the experimental field at the village of Qingkou, Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province. It has been running normally for one year. The system can monitor the real-time meteorological factors affecting the growth of rice, which provides the supporting data for exerting comprehensive control of insect pests and studying in-depth the problems of water terraces and nutrient balance before increasing the yield of rice and improving the quality of rice.
